Monday happy things

Posted on March 30, 2015February 6, 2016 by jenny

This is my weekly opportunity to remember some of my highlights of the previous week and it’s been pretty busy. We really enjoyed a trip to The Art of The Brick exhibition on Brick Lane. It features over 100 models by artist Nathan Sawaya all made from Lego and was pretty inspiring. Whilst out in…

On my mantle – March

Posted on March 24, 2015 by jenny

My Mantle is looking a little pared back this month, completely by design. We’ve had Mother’s Day and two birthdays which has meant lots of new toys around the house. I love having a little space to curate and with Spring in the air I’m definitely channelling Spring indoors too. Earlier this month I made…

Learning with Lego sets

Posted on March 4, 2015June 20, 2017 by jenny

What child doesn’t love playing with Lego? My 4 year old was recently sent some lovely new Lego sets from George at Asda. Like any boy he loves his vehicles, and if they have moving parts, even better. He’s not at the stage when he can build them independently but he really enjoys making them…

Monday happy things

Posted on January 5, 2015 by jenny

My husband is already back at work and I am (mentally at least) prepared for the nursery/school run/station drop off first thing tomorrow morning. We had a small splurge in the Lego shop and bought two new sets. We’ve already built and…

Every year we celebrate Advent with Advent calendars and…

Fun with the Lego Duplo Batcave Adventure

Posted on August 11, 2014 by jenny

Now we’re back from our week away we’ve been having lots of fun playing with our toys at home. Both children said they missed their toys whilst we were away (and it felt like we had taken most of them with us!). The Lego Duplo Batcave Adventure has been the latest addition to our collection….

Easy Lego bento

Posted on July 11, 2014July 11, 2014 by jenny

Last week we had an amazing day at Legoland. We try and go every year and we’ve always been blessed with amazing weather. I love experimenting with bento lunches but I only realised after we had got home that a Lego bento picnic would have been fun! Today I finally got round to it and…
