Regular readers will know that every month I challenge myself to make the Mollie Makes magazine cover gift. I’ve subscribed since it first came out and have had a drawer full of unopened kits – but no more! I’ve been making more time for grown up crafting and I love to make the kits and hopefully try something…
I do love a craft kit and was delighted to be sent some of the new range of re.cycle.me craft kits to try out with the children. We love junk modelling and always seem to have a full recycling bin, perfect for turning cardboard tubes and bottles into something else with the help of a…
We have explored so many amazing places that I feel like I will never get a chance to write about them all. It seems weeks ago since we made it to exploring Denham Country Park with the kids. It’s another one of those places right on our doorstep which me had never got around to…

My children were so excited to sign up to the Summer Reading Challenge. They are two little bookworms and love nothing more than making a den and reading.
