A few weeks ago we were challenged to make something for the house with Aquabeads. My children are *obsessed* with Aquabeads and we have a lot of their creations around the house. Sometimes it’s nice to actually use their creations around the house. With Easter coming up my daughter has been making a lot of…
Today the sun is shining at long last. It even feels a tiny bit warm but ssshh, I don’t want to jinx the weather just yet. With a touch of Spring in the air I thought it was a great time to have some after school fun with my daughter and create a hand print…
Do you ever wonder how you’ve ended up with so many craft supplies? The house is full so we have been trying hard to use some up lately, especially as the snowy weather has kept us inside. Everything has been very pretty but WHITE. To bring some colour into our life we had fun with…
A few weeks ago we attended a special screening of the Peter Rabbit movie which we all really enjoyed.

As well as all the chocolate and books, Advent is about something much simpler, which often gets overlooked. The word Advent loosely means “coming” and is the time of waiting and preparing for the Nativity of Jesus at Christmas. The first Sunday of Advent was actually Sunday 3rd December and we marked it with a…
We’ve been enjoying Spring crafts recently. The weather has been all over the place, which is typical for Spring, so we’ve had plenty of time for crafting indoors.
