This super simple gingerbread popcorn recipe only requires 3 ingredients and makes a fun festive treat, especially if you’re staying in to watch Elf!

Time capsule baubles for kids {Chalkola review}
We have a really great craft to share with you today. My children are growing up far too quickly so I thought it was about time to capture a moment in their lives. This was one of those fun crafts which we squeezed in after school and also got to use some great chalk pens…
Star Wars snowflakes {Christmas decorations}
Both my husband and son love Star Wars. I’ve mentioned before that my 6 year old is obsessed with Star Wars and his Christmas list is pretty much all Star Wars lego sets, and new Rogue One toys. I wanted to introduce some Star Wars Christmas decorations this year and found some really fun Star…
Cookies for Santa {Wild Olive fabric cookies}
You know how much I love anything gingerbread so I’m warning you that I have a few more posts planned over the next few weeks. Last year I bought some gorgeous fabric from Spoonflower.

30 minute Star Wars blanket
Earlier this year I made my daughter a lovely Liberty quilt. She keeps it on her bed and I’m so happy she loves it, if she didn’t I would quite happily put it on my bed instead. My 5 year old son keeps asking if I can make him something as “you’re always making stuff…
