Homemade Christmas Countdown for kids

Posted on November 23, 2015February 26, 2026 by jenny

One thing I love about my children is they have no concept of time yet. My 3 year old struggles with the concept of more than one day in the past or the future. My 5 year old has a better understanding, thanks to monthly calendars which we have around the house. My children are…

Hot Wheels Nitrobot Attack review

Posted on November 20, 2015January 16, 2019 by jenny

Creating hygge at home

Posted on November 17, 2015April 24, 2017 by jenny

Winter has at last arrived and when I ventured out today I was well and truly buffeted by Storm Barney. I admit to having a small obsession with the weather and the Shipping Forecast and love to make my home cosy and warm at this time of year. I’ve written a little about taking more…

Monday Happy Things

Posted on November 16, 2015November 16, 2015 by jenny

Happy Monday everyone, hope you had a great weekend. Yesterday I went clothes shopping with my 3 year old which is always an adventure. She has a huge appetite for trying on clothes. All we needed was a new winter coat but it ended up taking hours. She tried on every one we saw and…
