AD\Earlier in the Summer holidays we were gifted a bundle of new games from Gibsons. We’ve already told you about Rockpool and today wanted to tell you about Quirk! It’s the hilariously funny family card game that has YOU squawking, saving the world and breathing fire! Embrace your silly side with sounds and actions while…
This post is in conjunction with TEMPUR® but all thoughts are my own Like many people we’ve made the most of spending the last few months at home. Whilst the children were learning at home it felt like our dining room was a school room! It wasn’t ideal, but being safe was the most important…
Each year, Darts Farm grow fields of beautiful sunflowers and ask for donations to raise money for Hospicecare. We have been eagerly looking for somewhere to pick our own sunflowers. Last year we visited the Pop Up Farm in Hertfordshire but they sadly announced that they wouldn’t be open for sunflowers this year. Happily for…
I wanted to make chalk for a long time. At the start of lockdown I couldn’t buy chalk anywhere. All the shops had sold out or the price was just out of this world. So I decided to make my own. It’s surprisingly easy to make your own coloured chalk and you only need 3…

These include the special family time we have enjoyed, the chance to get to know our neighbours and explore our local area, all whilst keeping…
I don’t know about you, but I’ve never managed to solve a classic Rubik’s Cube. My husband loved the challenge and taught himself a few years ago, but I just never had the patience. We have a few different Rubik’s puzzles and they are great for popping into a handbag if we’re going out for…
We love to recycle and although our plastic bottle useage has gone down dramatically over the lockdown period our recycling bin still has bottles.
