Monday happy things

I’m a little late with my weekly Monday happy things due to the Summer holidays. Anyone else feel as exhausted as I do already?

I had a wonderful child-free weekend in Europe with my husband. We stayed in Antwerp and enjoyed sampling Belgian beers, waffles, and admiring lots of paintings by Reubens.

We also caught the train to Utrecht to see the Miffy exhibition at the Centraal Museum and spot some of the statues from the Miffy art parade.

I’ve had a beautiful bouquet of hydrangeas and cream roses brightening up our living room this week.

The latest craft book from Belle & Boo S is for Sewing arrived. It’s full of gorgeous projects and I can’t wait to share it with my daughter and let her pick something for us to make.

You may remember a couple of weeks ago we reviewed some products from the Plasticine range by Flair. On Wednesday 5th August I’ll be taking part in a fun Plasticine Softeez Twitter party. New Plasticine Softeez has the stability of original Plasticine and still never dries out, but is softer and easier to model with than the original. So is perfect for little hands! Please join me and @UKMumsTV or follow the #PlasticineSofteez between 2-4pm on 5th August.
