So Sand DIY Sensory Studio {toy review}

Posted on July 8, 2020September 4, 2022 by jenny

It’s so good to have a variety of activities to offer the children when they’ve finished their home learning. We are working hard to get everything finished by lunch time so we can enjoy our afternoons together. Our dining room table is always piled high with toys, but they always have a learning slant! We…

I don’t know about you but I just love playing Animal Crossing. I first came across it years ago when I played it on my DS (remember those?). When I heard about Pocket Camp I was so excited and have been playing it religiously since it first came out (if you want to add me…

I love to start the week by writing the Monday Happy List. It’s a chance for me to sit down and reflect on the things that made me happy in the previous week, as well as to record some of our family adventures. It’s a post I love to write. Life has changed considerably for us…

Posted on July 4, 2020July 4, 2020 by jenny

It’s safe to say I’ve kept busy with a lot of crafting and making during this strange period. I’m thankful it was already a hobby and I had a lot of supplies and I haven’t really needed to purchase much. It was my birthday the weekend we went into lockdown and my husband had kindly…

Visiting the Pick Your Own Farm with kids

Posted on July 3, 2020August 3, 2020 by jenny

We’ve been so excited, waiting for our favourite fruits and veggies to be ready to pick. It seems ages ago since our last visit to our local Pick Your Own farm in Iver, just down the road from Ruislip. You can now book a slot to visit, so we booked an early morning slot and…

Regular readers will know that every month I challenge myself to make the Mollie Makes magazine cover gift. I’ve subscribed since it first came out and have had a drawer full of unopened kits – but no more! I’ve been making more time for grown up crafting and I love to make the kits and hopefully try something…

I do love a craft kit and was delighted to be sent some of the new range of re.cycle.me craft kits to try out with the children. We love junk modelling and always seem to have a full recycling bin, perfect for turning cardboard tubes and bottles into something else with the help of a…

Exploring Denham & Denham Country Park with kids

Posted on July 1, 2020August 3, 2020 by jenny

We have explored so many amazing places that I feel like I will never get a chance to write about them all. It seems weeks ago since we made it to exploring Denham Country Park with the kids. It’s another one of those places right on our doorstep which me had never got around to…
