The first week of the summer holidays is over and we managed to pack in a pretty full week. My children spent 4 days at SuperCamp and had a brilliant time, making new friends, trying new sports and crafts. They had longer days than the school day but loved it although I didn’t really know…
I’m embarrassed to admit I can’t remember the last time, if there was one, that we made a collage. Although we craft with tissue paper and all sorts of materials, there are still some crafts we need to try. Today we popped our collage cherry, thanks to Paper Monsters by Oscar Sabini!

My children love sending emoji messages so when they saw a trailer for The Emoji Movie I knew we would be going to see it at some point. We were lucky to receive an invitation to a special screening of The Emoji Movie at Cineworld in Leicester Square. My son was busy so my daughter…
