    I mentioned a few weeks ago that I had purchased a couple of Lego Gingerbread Ornament kits for my kids to make. We found these in the Lego Store in Westfield White City and I knew they would make a fun activity for them to build and add to our Christmas tree. We love buying Lego at Christmas and have the limited edition 2015 Lego gingerbread house (40139), as well as the Lego gingerbread house (10267) which goes really well with Santa’s Workshop (10245). Yep, we love Lego at Christmas! Lego gingerbread ornaments (40642) Lego gingerbread ornaments (40642) contains 190…

    We’ve mentioned a few times now that we really enjoyed visiting Morph’s Epic Art Adventure London trail. Since the trail started we’ve had a couple of trips into London to see it but unfortunately didn’t manage to tick off all the sculptures. The app was really handy keeping tabs of all the sculptures and we definitely had our favourites which we shared with you here and here. Growing up we loved to watch Morph and they inspired some baking at home. Morph gingerbread biscuits I couldn’t find a Morph shaped cookie cutter so my husband designed and printed it on…

    It’s been a while since I shared a gingerbread post. I’ve started thinking about my annual gingerbread gift guide which is always fun to pull together and share. This year I’ve come across a few Halloween gingerbread products and I couldn’t resist sharing them. Today I’m going to share the first one today, the M&S Ghoulish Gingerbread Skeleton Kit. M&S Ghoulish Gingerbread Skeleton Kit I was surprised to see a couple of Halloween kits on a recent trip to my local M&S.

    December 18, 2021 - By 

    Last week it was time to try the Sainsbury’s Make Your Own Gingerbread House kit with my 10 year old. My son had previously made the M&S gingerbread house kit which tasted really good, so we were looking forward to building another gingerbread house.

The first step was making the gingerbread dough which I did whilst my daughter was at school. She never seems to like…

    November 8, 2021 - By 

    Starting the week by writing the Monday Happy List  is something I’ve been doing for a while. It’s a chance for me to sit down and 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 post I always love to write. Monday Happy Things {Week 369} The weather was so cold last week that we spent a lot of time at home. We binge watched 9 Perfect Strangers which I thought was pretty good. I also finished The 12 Days of Christmas by Poppy Alexander and am…

    Gingerbread easter eggs

    April 18, 2021 - By 

    You may remember that last Christmas we all had fun decorating ready-made gingerbread house kits from The Best Bit. I was so happy to see that they were producing kits for Easter, so snapped up a gingerbread easter egg kit from The Best Bit. Easter was early this year and also fell at the beginning of our Easter holidays. We were so busy with our usual Easter baking that these got forgotten, we managed to squeeze them in just before we went back to school. The kit included 6 gingerbread eggs to decorate and fill. I thought it would make…

    I’ve had the most amazing blog break over Christmas and New Year. Not that we stopped crafting (I have a lot to share!) but it was lovely to switch off and relax.
