    Among Us gingerbread biscuits

    December 5, 2020 - By 

    DO you have kids who love playing Among Us? Then you might like our easy Among Us gingerbread biscuits. You can earn serious Mum points by baking some special Among Us Crewmate biscuits and slipping them in your kids lunch box. Just in case you haven’t heard of the hit game set in space, you play as either Crewmates or an Impostor. Crewmates try to identify the Impostors, eliminate them, and complete tasks around the map; the Impostors’ goal is to covertly sabotage and kill the Crewmates before they complete all of their tasks. I’ve already told you about the…

    Enchanted Wood {Autumn Craftpod}

    November 30, 2020 - By 

    I wanted to share two of the little crafty projects I finished recently. Sometimes it feels like my makes are a little thin on the ground, but that’s only because I forget to share them! Craftpod is one of my favourite subscription boxes. It comes 4 times a year but the projects are worth waiting for. For some reason I didn’t finish the Summer box (maybe next year). Enchanted Garden was the theme for the Autumn box. I love the colours of Autumn so I was excited to receive the box. It contained two projects: a felt woodland badger with…

    Easy Apple and mincemeat crumble

    November 29, 2020 - By 

    One of my favourite things about Christmas is the food. Baking is one of my favourite things and I enjoy trying festive dishes. We all enjoy mincepies but last year we were left with a lot of mincemeat. We used some in Mincemeat Palmiers which were lovely and simple to bake and tasted delicious, as well as a delicious Mincemeat and Marzipan loaf. It made me realise that you don’t need to use mincemeat in mincepies, you can enjoy it in lots of other ways. Today I wanted to share our recipe for Apple and Mincemeat Crumble which is a…

    A visit to Oxhey Woods Sculpture Trail

    November 28, 2020 - By 

    Last weekend we popped along to the Oxhey Woods Sculpture Trail in Oxhey Woods just outside Watford. It’s a place we’ve driven past many times but never had time to explore. The weather was gorgeous and we couldn’t wait to have a walk in the sunshine. Oxhey Woods Sculpture Trail Oxhey Woods is the largest Local Nature Reserve in the Three Rivers District. Although it’s always lovely to take a walk through the woods we couldn’t wait to walk the circular trail which runs through the southern woodland. Along the route you’ll find a series of sculptures, the work of several…
