#GrundigMomOfTheYear: Celebrate mom with a culinary experience worth R600 and a chance to win an oven worth over R8000

May 23, 2017 by Heather Step 3 Comments

We’re still celebrating our mothers this month with a very special competition. Our moms are an invaluable part of our lives, so this would be a great opportunity to spoil yours.

There are two parts to this prize.

The first one will run on this blog. It is a culinary experience at the JHB  Culinary & Pastry School worth R600,00.  I had a look at their Instagram page and they are sure cooking up some impressive food and pastries as well as amazing cakes at that school. Here’s one that a lucky mom to be enjoyed, together with talented chef Charity. 

Then we have this impressive artwork from Chef Kelvin. Looks like something straight out of Master Chef. 

Suffice to say your mom will be in good hands learning from the best. 

I wouldn’t say that cooking or baking is really my strength so I’ll take this as an opportunity to learn. Oh yes, the blogger gets to go along with the mom. So I’ll be creating something yummy (and hopefully good looking too).

The winner and blogger will be treated to a red Velvet cupcake making and decorating lesson. The culinary experience will most likely happen over the weekend.

 

Now for the second part of the prize.

On the day of the experience, there will be a draw where the attendees will stand a chance to win the grand prize which is Grundig top of the line oven valued at R8 900. 

Grundig is a German brand which as we know, is typically efficient and reliable.  They have been making high quality products since 1946. It started with a radio and has expanded to the latest stylish home appliances.  They also pride themselves on being energy efficient.  You can read more about them on their website here. 

The oven up for grabs is a GEBM 25000 B Multifunction 70cm single oven. It has triple glazed doors and a built in meat probe. For more info on the oven see this link. 

 

Not bad for mom, isn’t it?

 

Now all you have to do to win this for your mom is to comment below, telling me the name of your mom and why she should win and why she is the #GrundigMomoftheYear. Unlike other competitions where we draw a prize randomly, this time the decision will be based on the answer contained in your comments. 

 

Terms and conditions:

  1. This competition will run for a week and end on 30 May. The winner will be announced on our Facebook page and emailed. 
  2. This competition is open to Gauteng residents only. If your mom lives far away she must be able to attend the culinary experience in Johannesburg. 
  3. The prize is not transferable.
  4. If you have won on SA Mom Blogs in the past 3 months you will not be eligible to win this competition.

 
If you found this post interesting please share it with your friends and remember to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram and join our awesome group called Mommy’s Me Time.

    MY Eldest sister Donnie-Kaye Alexander is a true personification of my late mother whose name as we all fondly remember her as “Auntie Ags. A loving mother who was a school teacher & left her students to this day remember what she meant to them. The same with my sister she is a teacher, physician & enclycopedia have the rigt advice all the time for allowing me not to feel the gap of a mother being a mother herself. She deserves the title of#Grundigmomoftheyear.

    My Mom is Elizabeth Andrews… She is actually my eldest sister and has been my Mom since our parents passed away when I was 9 years old. She has sacrificed everything for me and literally given up her life to take care of me(she never even married). She put me through school and college and is still helping me now with my three kids…financially, emotionally and being there when we need her. She is my rock and never once complains or judges me in any way.. she just silently and through her actions loves me beyond words. Her only concern is that we are clothed, fed, and have a roof over our heads.It would be so wonderful to be able to give something back to her.

    My mum’s name is Tina Mothilal. My mum should be #GrundigMomoftheYear because :
    1.She is a phenomenal mum, wife, sister, friend
    2.Cooking and baking is her love language. She loves giving and gets so happy when people love her food.
    3. She is in desperate need of an upgrade of her appliances, especially her oven which lets her down at the moment and burns stuff as it overheats.
    4.#GrundigMomoftheYear she has been so supportive and helpful since I had baby, always there, every time I have a meltdown or need any assistance with her wise words and cheer. I love her so much!

    I vote for my mum to be #GrundigMomoftheYear

After working from my mom's home, I had a new appr After working from my mom's home, I had a new appreciation for my work space.

But I needed to do something different. I needed to turn it around for the light. But the alarm antenna stuck out in the corner.

I was busy doing a blog post on bringing nature into your home and I got inspired to put a green feature there and bring in two flower pots. I also got some baskets to clear the clutter.

You have the power to rewrite your story and create something beautiful.

You just need that push to start.

Consider yourself pushed!

Update on Survivor PE: We have intermittent water Update on Survivor PE: We have intermittent water but no power. Lastest news is we might have it by Thursday but I'm not holding my breath.
I wanted to do laundry today and brought the maid to my mom's house and everything but because it's a cloudy day the solar is only on two dots so we've got to conserve power.

#survivorpe #survivorgq #nopower #samomblogs #somewater
When the city tells you that you're not going to h When the city tells you that you're not going to have power for two weeks!

A huge pylon collapsed due to vandalism, wind and rust.

And then your water goes...

You freak out and then you make a plan.
For the first morning, I hot spotted.

Then in the afternoon I went to my mom to teach the rest of my classes.

Since then I have basically moved all my food over to her house and started cooking there as well. I'm also going there to charge everything.

There's no point even using the gas when all the food needs to be kept cold so it needs to be done in one place.

For the water, I now have a system. We flush the toilet with pool water. Wash ourselves and dishes with tank water. And drink from the little tank. 

Nicky has also adapted and is enjoying Granny's chairs.

Oh, and I've also been restyling furniture in my study. If the light is in front of me, it is better.  I've been dealing with work assessments. 

But we can't wait for the lights to come back on and running water.

Until then, I'm super grateful for family.

How has your first day gone, moms?
Nicky had to walk quite a bit today, lots of cars at the school. But we managed to get all the stationery etc on time. 

Happy new school year! I started back on my exercise routine and feeling a lot better.

We just spend some really fun few days in East Lon We just spend some really fun few days in East London.

I'm super blessed because although I've lost a husband, I haven't lost his family. And Nicky had a fab time with all the cousins.

"Humbled" I asked Nicky how he felt after a week "Humbled"

I asked Nicky how he felt after a week of Mzanzi, the interprovincial chess tournament. Nicky played Board 1 for Eastern Cape A team. That meant that he faced the top players in his age category from all over the country.

He won 3 and lost 3 for the team section.

Tuesday was especially brutal. Three rounds in one day (9am, 2pm and 7pm). 

He was also not well. Sore throat and coughing. We went to the doctor on Wednesday, missed the team photos and continued on with the individual competition.

The individual one can take up to four hours. Nicky was doing about an average of three. 

He won 2 and drew 4. From a starting rank of 6 he ended up 17. 

"They don't make any mistakes" he said. 

Last night we watched Mission Impossible with Tom Cruise getting himself out of the submarine. I told Nicky that whatever difficult position he finds himself in, he can do it. 

He drew the last one.

I'm super proud of him and what he has endured this week. It hasn't been easy. He has tried his best. And, like all the other chess parents, I've sat there and waited. 

For me it's not about where he came. It's the joy of the game. While the team prize giving went on, we played in the arcade. After the individual game was done we played in the escape room. (We totally weren't able to escape but it was an experience)

Wherever this chess journey takes him, I will follow and support. And always help him find the joy. ♟️

We went to Playland last night and had a lot of fu We went to Playland last night and had a lot of fun!
Nicky was big enough to go on the break dancer this year and I watched him go twice! He also loved that pendulum swing one. 
For me, I still love the big wheel the best.

On thing I am thrilled about: they had candy floss this year! Getting Nicky some of that was so cool because we used to do that as a child.

So long, Playland, and thanks for the memories!

Lots of sparkle at the @thesheeoworkshop led by @y Lots of sparkle at the @thesheeoworkshop led by @your_motivationalcoach and @her_mindset_mentor /@millennial_mama_sa 

The company was good, the food was the delicious and the insights were flowing.

One thing I took away was this: you must feel enough in yourself before other people think you are. 

I also had fun starting a vision board and painting.

We also had a secret Santa swap and I was blown away by @nakita21 's amazing gift. She embellished a notebook, manicure set and cup with the themes of the workshop: dream, design and do.

No more excuses now for me with this powerhouse of inspiration behind me!
