    What do you get the man who has everything for Father’s Day? My husband is really difficult to buy for as he has everything he needs.

It’s been a while since I put together a gift guide but I thought you might be interested to see some of the gifts we will be giving this Father’s Day.

    You all know we craft a lot, but that’s multiplied since lockdown began here in the UK. I’m so thankful my children love to create and we spend most afternoons sitting around our dining room table crafting together. I’ve lost count of the number of little books my children have made for the different art classes they like to teach me. It’s fun and keeps them busy, and one day I hope they will remember this time as quality family time above all else. Over the last few weeks we’ve made a start on our Father’s Day crafting and I…

    June 10, 2020 - By 

    At the start of lockdown in March we sat down as a family and made a list of the films we wanted to watch. It included old favourites and new releases we hadn’t got round to watching. We’ve always enjoyed watching films and with trips to the cinema out of the question, then a family film night can be just as fun. A few weeks ago we settled down to watch Back to the Future as chosen by my husband. The children loved it and watched the trailers for the other two films in the series too. We were really…

    Have you recovered from half term? Today my children went back to school and I returned to work. We packed a lot into half term and I was pretty glad to get back to our routine and do something normal like the food shop on my own today! As I sit with a hot cup of tea, Radio 4 playing and a mammoth to do list to get through, I thought I would take some time to share my recent Father’s Day Scrabble art craft. Father’s Day isn’t until June 17th but it’s never too early to start on your handmade…
