We’ve been to some really fun craft workshops for kids at our local Hobbycraft. They are always affordable and the staff have been lovely and helpful. This weekend we popped along to our local store to make Duck Tape Halloween squishies. I could tell from the picture that they would be fun so booked places…
Happy Monday everyone. Hope you had a great weekend and enjoyed the beautiful weather we’ve been experiencing in London over half term. Each week I start off by writing my Monday mindfulness – 5 happy things blog post. It’s a great chance to reflect on the things that made me happy in the previous week, as well…
We were in London last week and just had to stop off to visit the brand new Harry Potter Wand Walk. Have you heard about it? Helping to raise awareness of Lumos, the charity set up by J.K Rowling which works towards ending the institutionalisation of children around the globe, the installation has been created…
With two creative children I need a constant stream of ideas to keep them occupied. Having exhausted our crafting cupboard and my patience I was so thankful when a copy of 10 Step Drawing: Animals landed on our doormat over half term.

You all know I love papercutting but don’t get nearly enough time to do it. Obviously the kids are on half term this week but I am too! Since I now work in a school I have been looking forward to some ‘me’ time (laughable I know!) this half term. Today I finally got it….
My 6 year old just loves slime at the moment. Her birthday is next month and all she is asking for is slime. I think she might be a little disappointed if she only had a tub of slime to open. Thankfully there are some amazing toys for children who love to make and play…
Today we went to see the huge Harry Potter wands which have been placed between St Paul’s Cathedral and the Millennium Bridge. There were 7 huge wands (one from each of the main characters from Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts). It was super busy but the atmosphere was great. The wands are switched on every…
A few weeks ago, we attended a really fun free event at Piccadilly in the West End. Much of the street was closed for the NFL Kickoff which took over Piccadilly for the launch of the season. NFL is the biggest sport in the United States with more than 160 million people watching the Super Bowl each…
