It is well and truly Autumn here in the UK. It’s my favourite time of year and I love watching the leaves on the trees change colour. I’ve lost count of the number of ‘treasures’ my daughter keeps presenting me with every time we leave the house. She’s as drawn to conkers and acorns as I am and I keep finding little piles of them all over the house. Our Autumn Bucket List There are some great activities you can do with the kids during Autumn so I thought I would make an Autumn Bucket List of the things we…

You can find the Lego shop at Lange Tiendeweg 31, Gouda, if you’re in the area. Lego has…

What do you think of my Mother’s Day colouring page? My children just love colouring, especially after a busy day at school.

With Valentine’s Day fast approaching next week, we have been busy making handmade Valentine’s Day cards for family. I love that the children enjoy making cards and this year they have been raiding my stash of washi tape to decorate theirs. For the first time my daughter has bought an edible gift for the boy she likes in her class – why is my baby growing up so quickly!? I love the idea of giving out gifts to all their classmates so am sharing my free printable Valentine’s pencil topper activity. It is quick and easy to make and makes the…
