There’s something about long summer days that makes us all want to be outside as much as possible. We’ve had some lovely weather lately, packed up a picnic and gone out for the day. At the beginning of the school holidays we popped down to Halfords and bought both children lovely new bikes. They’ve been…
I have a fun round up of 25 apple crafts and activities for pre-schoolers. We love this time of year, long warm sunny days with the promise of leaves turning golden brown, going blackberry picking and Apple Days. There are so many lovely crafts and activities for kids and I enjoyed bringing together my top…

The markers are also water resistant, fade resistant and odour free. How to make a decorated tealight holder As they seem to work on pretty much any surface…
Little Sis, my 4 year old daughter, loves nothing more than a parcel from the Postman. She has been lucky to open some wonderful post, the most recent contained the Sylvanian Families convertible car. This is a sweet vehicle which really lets your Sylvanians drive in style. The Sylvanian Families convertible car has two seats…
I never used to think my 6 year old was a fussy eater. He is active and therefore hungry and used to eat anything I put before him. Over the last 12 months I have noticed him becoming fussier, especially with his school lunch. I’ve ended up making a packed lunch for him on Wednesday’s…
