It’s Monday and my 3 year old has a taster session at her new nursery this afternoon so time for a quick post – my weekly Monday happy things: On Saturday we enjoyed our annual fun day out at Legoland. The weather was surprisingly hot, which was a good thing, and the children had a…

Pumpkin and gourd sun catcher decorations
Don’t shout at me or leave rude comments but we’ve started our Halloween crafting. I know it’s early but we thought we’d make a head start. The weather can’t seem to make its mind up what season it is which doesn’t help. One day we’re wearing winter woolies and the next we’re back in our…

Make an edible Mr Twits gingerbeard biscuit
I mentioned that my 5 year old has fallen for the wonderful stories of Roald Dahl. Although we were reading James and the Giant Peach (which I was really enjoying) he decided we had to stop and read The Twits instead. So, we’ve been reading a couple of chapters each evening and taking a lot…

I know my children have plenty of toys but I couldn’t resist buying this set. My 3 year old really enjoys crafting with Aquabeads which surprised me as…
Vintage sewing table makeover
I had no idea what to call this post. Over the Bank Holiday weekend I finally had some time to update a vintage wooden sewing table I bought earlier this year. I found it in a charity shop, complete with dodgy 1970’s orange nylon quilted lining. I ripped out the cushioned lining and it’s been…
Monday happy things
It’s beautifully sunny here today, fingers crossed it lasts. Time for my weekly Monday happy things post: My son went back to school after the school holidays. We had an amazing few weeks but he was happy to see his friends and his new teachers. My 3 year old and I have been a little…
What I’m reading: Write Back Soon! Adventures in Letter Writing
I seem to spend a lot of time using a keyboard and not so much time picking up an old fashioned pen and paper these days. I often slip in a hand written note with a swap package but that’s about it. Which is why I was interested in Write Back Soon! Adventures in Letter…
