We’ve been enjoying Spring crafts recently. The weather has been all over the place, which is typical for Spring, so we’ve had plenty of time for crafting indoors. I was looking for something simple for my youngest daughter to make. She loves tissue paper so we decided to make easy paper plate daisies to decorate…
There are some great family friendly films coming out this summer and I can’t wait to see the new Despicable Me 3 film which is in cinemas next month. My children are excited because that means there will be new minions toys! And guess what? To coincide with the release of the new film next month…
I’ve been self-employed for the last few years, juggling my blog around when my children are at school. I would love to say I’m organised, managing my workload alongside family life with no hiccups, but I can’t. Most of the time my house looks like a bomb has hit it and I often feel like…
Sometimes I really can’t remember where I found things. I guess that’s the good thing about the internet. You see a pretty picture on Instagram or read something on a blog and before you know it, you’ve found another subscription box to try out. That’s pretty much how I came across Craftpod.

As you read this I will be heading to my new job! I have a temporary part-time job over the next few weeks which I’m really excited about – and a little nervous too! We had some wonderful toys to review this week. My 7 year old made unboxing videos of the new toys based…
As I saw parents waiting for their children to return for a residential trip last night it reminded me of my favourite school residential. I went to school on the Isle of Wight and when I was at Junior school we spent a week in Yorkshire. I can’t imagine taking a coach load of kids…
Living on the outskirts of London we’re lucky to have so much on our doorstep. A quick hop on the tube gets us into London, or we can take off in the car to the country. We’ve mused about having a dog for a few years now but it just doesn’t seem practical. So instead…
With a 5 and 7 year old I keep expecting certain things to drop off their radar. Things like Peppa Pig. By my calculating it’s now been too many years that my children have watched and played Peppa Pig. It’s like some strange comfort blanket though, and if they want to wind down before bed…
