We’re huge fans of Lego. My husband and I grew up with it and have grown into AFOLs (Adult Fans of Lego!). The children love saving their pocket money to buy Lego sets, which are frequently featured on my other blog, Treading on Lego. We are hugely inspired by Lego and I recently had fun…
Cheeky Valentine’s Day biscuits
With Valentine’s Day fast approaching I thought it was time that Little Sis and I practised our baking skills.

Time for my weekly Monday Happy Things post. My son has joined our local Beavers group and went along to his first session. He really enjoyed himself so I’m hoping he’ll stick with it. This week he also started Maths Club and Football Club. Both of these are only for a term but he was…

This morning we headed into London as we had received an invitation to watch The Lion Guard – Return of the Roar at the Ham Yard Hotel. The Ham Yard Hotel is a lovely venue, and we love The Lion King, so it was an easy decision to attend. Did you know The Lion King…
Ikea hack Lego table
Last year we spent some time sorting out our 5 year olds bedroom. He doesn’t seem to need much sleep so we wanted to make an area for him to play when he wakes up early. He already had an Ikea Trofast unit but we thought we would give it a makeover and make it…
