It is well and truly Autumn here in the UK. It’s my favourite time of year and I love watching the leaves on the trees change colour. I’ve lost count of the number of ‘treasures’ my daughter keeps presenting me with every time we leave the house. She’s as drawn to conkers and acorns as…
I don’t know about you, but have you noticed the evenings getting darker earlier? The sun is still warm but when it goes down you notice how chilly it gets. We certainly felt Autumnal when we were camping last week, but we made the most of it (and came home with a stash of blackberries!)….
Do you have any little Lego fans at home? If you’ve followed us for a while you’ll know that both my children (and us adults too) just love Lego. Yesterday we visited the small city of Gouda in the Netherlands and we found a Lego shop! My son was able to build our family out…
I know the Summer holidays have only just begun but us mums just can’t rest for a moment. Yes, the uniform is bought, we have new water bottles and lunch bags and fully stocked pencil cases, we’re all ready for September! My children both love school and are excited about starting the new school year…

With Valentine’s Day fast approaching next week, we have been busy making handmade Valentine’s Day cards for family. I love that the children enjoy making cards and this year they have been raiding my stash of washi tape to decorate theirs. For the first time my daughter has bought an edible gift for the boy…
We’ve always had loads of fun crafting around the theme of Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year (see some of our previous Chinese New Year crafts here). The children love learning about different festivals celebrated around the world and we’re lucky that living in London we are able to go and watch the wonderful…
I hope you are all enjoying the break between Christmas and New Year. I think it’s my favourite time of the year. We are fortunate that having spent the last week visiting family and friends now we have nothing to do except relax. The children have been playing with their Christmas presents and I have…
I love making homemade Thank you cards. Every year my children receive lovely Christmas gifts and I want them to put some effort into the thank you cards they send. When they were younger we sent homemade photocards but now they can write their names (and my Year 2 son can write a lot more!)…
