A couple of weeks ago Cara and I spent a lovely afternoon with a few of my favourite bloggers at the newly revamped John Dory’s Canal Walk.

This was our first time at John Dory’s and the restaurant is now a firm favourite.

Reason number 1: their sushi is goooood! And well priced. I can almost stop this post right here, cause I know a lot you feel the same way I do… ‘you had me at sushi, John Dory’s’.

Sushi and wine at family-friendly John Dory’s Canal Walk

The menu offers a great selection of sushi (with banting-friendly options), seafood and dishes for the meat lovers (which means my husband won’t complain when I’m in the mood for sushi). The kids menu is also great and the fact that Cara finished every last bite of her chicken strips and chips says a lot.

The restaurant offers a lovely play area which Cara thoroughly enjoyed. There’s ample seating available next to the play area so parents can keep a close eye while their little ones are having a jol. This means a little time for mom and dad to relax and no whining or sulks from the kids. For a while at least!

What else can I say?

Friendly staff… check.

Great decor… check.

Awesome service… check.

Disclaimer: These images all belong to John Dory’s Canal Walk as I was too busy having a good time enjoying my sushi and champers to really bother taking pics. I will not make a good food blogger.

We’ll be back soon for more.

Mandy Lee Miller from www.mandyleemiller.com approached me a couple of months ago to work with Kids Emporium and how could I say no?! I adore them. Why? Well head on over to their Facebook Page HERE and you’ll see.

In July Kids Emporium ran a “Making Memories” campaign where shoppers could get discount vouchers for local photographers and be entered into a draw to win a free photo shoot with that store’s related photographer. Kids Emporium is big on ‘supporting local’ so whilst giving back to their customers, they also wanted to support a photographer in each store’s area.

Here’s where I come in.

As part of the #MakingMemories campaign, I was teamed up with my local Kids Emporium’s chosen photographer, Sherra-Lyn Breebaart, to have a fabulous family photo shoot. Thanks so much Kids Emporium Durbanville! We had a blast and have amazing photos to boot.

Sherra-Lyn specialises in maternal, birth & family photography and she is so talented. Do yourself a favour and have a look at her birth stories on her Facebook Page HERE. AMAZING.

I let Sherra-Lyn take the lead and she decided that Canettevallei Lavender Farm on Stellenboschkloof Road would be the perfect place for our shoot.

She was right…
