Summer Craftpod Sub Box

Stitching {Summer Craftpod Sub Box}

Posted on September 3, 2017September 3, 2017 by jenny

It’s been a while since I tried a subscription box just for me. I suppose I haven’t really found any that I’ve wanted to try regularly. But when I received an email about the Summer Craftpod box I immediately signed up as it was all about cacti and moths! You can read what I thought…

Monday Happy Things {Week 151}

Posted on August 21, 2017 by jenny

Our Summer holidays are whizzing by. I can’t believe we’ve had four weeks of adventures already. We were really lucky to go away for a few days and have a change of scene. It was lovely to do normal things, like watch films at home and take the kids to the park. We wanted to…

Unboxing our new mattress from Sloane & Sons

Posted on August 20, 2017October 16, 2017 by jenny

As we haven’t had a holiday this summer we’ve concentrated on getting the house sorted. It’s now 4 years since we moved in and we’ve almost finished! With my son starting Year 3 in September we really wanted to finish his room off and make it a nice place to be (and do homework!). Last…

Roald Dahl's Billy and the Minpins

Roald Dahl’s Billy and the Minpins

Posted on August 19, 2017August 11, 2019 by jenny

Children’s books are so special. I read with my children every night and I enjoy choosing books as much as they do. My 7 year old loves Roald Dahl so we were delighted to receive a copy of Billy and the Minpins, which we had never read before. Billy and the Minpins is a new…

Win a Mr Kipling bundle worth over £200 {Exceedingly Good Summer}

Posted on August 16, 2017August 16, 2017 by jenny

Are you having a good summer so far? The weather has been a little underwhelming but it hasn’t stopped us from having some great family adventures. We’ve enjoyed loads of days out and had lots of picnics – sometimes sheltering from the rain in the car! Last week we were trying out Mr Kipling’s new…

My 5 blogging essentials

Posted on August 14, 2017January 2, 2019 by jenny

I think you all know that I love technology. I have an iPhone, iPad Mini, MacBook Air and Olympus camera. These come everywhere with me, which makes for a very heavy bag 🙂 If I find a product or brand I like then I tend to stay with them, I’m pretty loyal – or dislike…

Happy Monday everyone! Time for my weekly post, about the things which made me happy in the previous week. Today I bring you the Summer Holidays Week 3 edition! The last week of the summer holidays has been much more relaxing than the previous two. We’ve had family staying so had less days out. Despite…

Kawaii Cakes Biscuit Icing Workshop at Tatty Devine

Kawaii Cakes Biscuit Icing Workshop at Tatty Devine

Posted on August 13, 2017August 11, 2019 by jenny

Last weekend I booked myself on a really fun workshop at Tatty Devine. Although they are known for their super cute acrylic jewellery, they were hosting Juliet Sear and a biscuit decorating workshop. It just sounded like the perfect workshop so I signed myself up. I love wandering around East London, which is lucky as…
