We’re huge fans of painting and hiding rocks. Over the Bank Holiday weekend we hid a lot of painted rocks. Both my children have been decorating a lot so recently I varnished everything so we could take them out with us whilst we were away. I think that painted rocks make a great low-cost activity…
We are so lucky to have Ruislip Woods National Nature Reserve and Ruislip Lido near where we live. The Lido gets pretty busy on a sunny weekend so we avoid going but it’s surrounded by ancient woodland which is the perfect place to escape to for a cool walk. We last visited a few weeks ago…
I have two water babies and am always on the lookout for toys they can play with in the bath. They still love bath time just as much as they did when they were babies. It’s also a great way to unwind after a busy day or weekend. This weekend we’ve been visiting my mum…
Happy Monday everyone. Hope you had a great weekend. I love starting off each week 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 as to record some of our family adventures – it’s a…
I love collaborations! I don’t usually eat breakfast but that didn’t stop me looking for the latest collaboration between Danone Light and Free X Orla Kiely.

Now, there’s a new way to customise slime and it’s the hottest fashion accessory on the high street. Yep – slime just got fashionable with brand new Glam…
Now that Spring has decided to stick around for more than a day I wanted to share our cork print dandelion craft for kids. I’m the first to admit I just don’t have green fingers, I can’t even help my children grow sunflowers. We were pretty excited to see the Miffy tulip bulbs we planted…
You know that I love to try new crafts. Recently I tried making my own candles and now screen printing. I admit that screen printing at home always sounded scary but I loved the idea of printing my own tea towels or t-shirts, just never knew where to start. Thankfully Screen Sensation came to my…
A few weeks ago we were challenged to make Aquabeads crafts for the home. You may remember that we made Easter themed Aquabead Easter Egg bookmarks as a quick and easy Easter craft. Our Aquabeads are almost permanently out. They are a fun activity that my children can do independently and they make the perfect…
