Its a Frozen date

It was a cold winter’s day, perfect for our movie date… What movie date you may wonder?

Once upon a time, Kitana and I decided to enter Samsung’s bloggers challenge. A challenge that offers established and aspiring South African bloggers the opportunity to compete head-to-head in a series of Missions. My daughter loves movies and so do I, what would be more perfect than entering a competition that offers us a chance to watch some more TV?! Intrigued by the hashtag #missionsamsung, I applied. Days later I received an email saying I was one of the finalist. Delighted by the news, I jumped up and screamed with joy…followed by a hug from Kitana. We were ready for the first mission which was a movie with 5 friends…

5 friends?! I was in a pickle, I’ve been surrounded by kids for the past couple weeks, where would I find adult company in 3 days?! I chuckled to myself, thought about it…decided on a movie and sent the invite: A Pajama Frozen movie date. Pjs, great company, scrumptious snacks and a big screen TV for a fabulous movie date with my baby girl.

The day had finally arrived, Frozen was the perfect selection for my guests which included 2 little girls and 2 boys who are obsessed with Olaf.

It was time to have some fun to set the scene before the movie began, singing our favourite song and getting ready for our interpretation of “Ellens selfie”.. Our welfie included a wriggly baby and a distracted toddler. Trust me, this was the best picture we could capture with them sitting still. They were eager to see the movie and decided to take front row seats.

Munching on some popcorn, sipping on warm hot chocolate and cuddling with my favourite people made the perfect scene for a movie experience. We created fake snow, used fans to create wind and make a cold atmosphere for the kids to really experience the movie.

I was stunned to see Kitana sitting quietly and watching the movie. It finally hit me, my daughter isn’t a baby anymore.

Samsung provided an experience for my family. A movie should be experienced and not watched especially with kids.

The LED Smart TV has more vibrant colours for better images, full HD and offers different modes to improve your personalised viewing including a movie mode. You can even plug your USB memory drive or HDD into the TV and instantaneously enjoy movies, photos or music. It supports optical digital which I plugged into my external sound system giving me the full surround sound experience.

Movie Tips for a toddler

  1. Choose a movie that you think your child will like, something musical is even better.
  2. Try watching a movie at home before attempting the big screen and set it up like a cinema.
  3. Provide lots of snacks.
  4. Skip movie previews.
  5. Try watching a movie after baby’s nap so they have lots of energy.
  6. Carry a toy or 2 to distract if they get bored.

  28. Copper alloy identification Copper is a naturally occurring element that is present in the environment in small amounts. It is found in rocks, soils, water, plants, and animals. While copper is essential for the human body in small amounts, excessive exposure to copper can be harmful to human health. Copper exposure can occur through several sources, including ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact. Drinking water can be a significant source of copper exposure, especially if the water is delivered through copper pipes. Prolonged exposure to high levels of copper in drinking water can cause gastrointestinal problems, liver damage, and kidney damage. Copper exposure can also occur from air pollution. Copper is released into the air by industrial processes such as smelting, mining, and combustion of fossil fuels. People who live near industrial sites are at a higher risk of copper exposure. Exposure to high levels of copper in the air can cause respiratory problems, lung damage, and irritation of the eyes, skin, and mucous membranes. Exposure to copper can also occur through food, particularly in foods that are high in copper or that have been stored in copper containers. Some people with Wilson’s disease, a genetic disorder that causes excess copper to accumulate in the liver and other organs, are particularly sensitive to copper exposure. While copper exposure can be harmful to human health, it is important to note that most people are exposed to low levels of copper in the environment that are not harmful. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established a maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 1.3 milligrams per liter (mg/L) for copper in drinking water to protect public health. In conclusion, while copper is a necessary element for the human body, excessive exposure to copper can be harmful to human health. It is essential to monitor copper levels in drinking water and limit exposure to copper through other sources Metal scrap reclamation facilities Copper scrap management Scrap Copper refining methods Copper scrap recycler Reception of Copper scrap Metal reprocessing

  29. Copper scrap smelting The history of copper can be traced back to around 9000 BC, when the first known use of copper was in the Middle East. Copper was discovered in its raw form in the Fertile Crescent area, which is known today as present-day Turkey and Iraq. The ancient civilizations of Sumer, Babylon, and Egypt were among the first to use copper. They were particularly adept at mining copper, which was used to make a variety of tools and decorative objects. The ancient Egyptians used copper to make jewelry, pots, and even pipes for their plumbing systems. In ancient Greece, copper played an important role in their art and architecture. They used copper to make bronze sculptures and statues, and also used copper in building their famous temples. During the Roman Empire, copper became a valuable resource for their military conquests. They used copper to make coins, weapons, and armor. The Romans were also the first to discover that copper could be combined with other metals to create alloys, such as bronze and brass. In the Middle Ages, copper was used for a variety of purposes. It was used to make bells for churches, as well as decorative and functional objects such as chandeliers and candlesticks. In the 18th and 19th centuries, copper became an important metal for industry. It was used to make steam engines, machinery, and electrical wires. Today, copper is still an important metal for industrial and technological applications, particularly in the production of electronics. Overall, the history of copper is a long and rich one, with the metal playing a crucial role in the development of human civilization Scrap metal recapturing and recycling Copper scrap collection services Copper alloy salvage Environmental copper disposal Copper scrap branding Scrap metal reclamation depot
