Spring bunny origami corner bookmark {free printable}

Posted on April 7, 2020 by jenny

I love Spring. It’s one of my favourite seasons, especially as there is more daylight each day. It’s lovely waking up to the sunshine and putting the kids to bed as it gets dark. The days seem full of promise and we are fitting in so many activities. I know Easter is right around the…

The weather has been amazing over the last few days here in the UK. We’ve been so lucky that it coincided with Good Friday and Easter Monday so we had an extra long weekend to enjoy it. We did a fair bit of travelling from our week in Devon via Wiltshire and back to London…

I am so happy to be seeing the signs of Spring around me. Yesterday I hung the washing out for the first time this year and the children played happily in the garden. I gave them a bucket of water and sponges so they could clean their trampoline. I have a favourite road to drive…

Have you noticed how much lighter the evenings are here in the UK? The days seem to be getting noticeably longer every day and the clocks go forward in a few weeks. I feel so much happier at this time of year and seem to achieve more, thanks to the extra hours of daylight. Of…

Sylvanian Families Spring Sensory tray

Posted on February 23, 2018February 27, 2018 by jenny

My daughter has been really enjoying her Sylvanian Families toys recently. I love that she plays with them all year around but I think they really lend themselves to Springtime. The sun was shining today so I set up a really simple Spring-themed invitation to play for her when she got home from school. Items…

Did you know that March 20th is the Spring or Vernal, Equinox? We’ve noticed that the days are getting longer and today both night and day are equal, hence the Equinox (Latin for equal night). I really wanted to mark it in some way so today we thought we would dig out our seasonal tree…
