Yesterday I was playing with Posca marker pens. They are a unique water-based paint marker that write on almost all surfaces including fabrics, glass, metal, paper, card, wood and stone.

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…

The summer holidays are going so quickly and I think we’re all enjoying the slower pace of life. Although I’ve been ferrying them around I’m happy there are no after school clubs or evening activities to go to. With my free time I’ve been de-cluttering, eBaying, charity shopping and doing some of those niggling jobs…
