Mindful creativity with the Autumn Craftpod sub box

Mindful creativity with the Autumn Craftpod sub box

Posted on November 20, 2018 by jenny

I’ve had loads of fun with the latest Craftpod subscription box. I wanted to share the projects as they are so lovely. Craftpod is a quarterly subscription box which usually includes a couple of seasonal craft projects, stationery and always a tea bag of some sorts. It’s my favourite crafty subscription box. Mindful creativity with…

Mindful weekend sewing {Summer Craftpod}

Posted on September 23, 2018 by jenny

I’m cutting it pretty fine with the Summer Craftpod box as today marks the first day of Autumn. The subscription box arrived a few months ago but it’s taken me ages to find time to make the projects – Summer holidays and working leave little creative time. The constant rain this weekend has kept us…

A gardening and nature crafts box for kids

Posted on August 8, 2018 by jenny

I’ve been a little busy since the school holidays started which meant a few subscription boxes have turned up over the last few weeks and remained unopened. I’ve had to cancel most of ours as I just don’t have time to open them which is such a shame. However today we had some time to…

Mini Bakers Club review – children’s baking subscription box

Posted on July 5, 2018December 3, 2018 by jenny

There’s nothing better than a homemade treat. Both my children enjoy baking but I admit we don’t do it nearly often enough. We love crafting after school and were overjoyed to be sent a Mini Bakers Box from BKD to try at home. My children love subscription boxes and we’ve tried a lot of crafty…

Mud and Bloom: a nature and gardening subscription box for kids

Posted on June 17, 2018 by jenny

The other day I mentioned that I’ve been trying out subscription boxes for my children. As much as I enjoy crafting at home I also love a subscription box, which does all the hard work for you! Both my children love to make and create so as I bought my daughter the Unicorns & Rainbows…

Unicorns and rainbows {Squidgydoodle subscription box}

Posted on June 15, 2018 by jenny

It’s been a while since we’ve tried any kids subscription boxes. My 6 year old loves unicorns and rainbows so I was pretty pleased to find a box all about, you’ve guessed it, unicorns and rainbows from Squidgydoodle. They make all sorts of subscription boxes for kids. Unicorns and rainbows {Squidgydoodle subscription box} I ordered one…

Mindful sewing and the Spring Craftpod

Mindful sewing and the Spring Craftpod

Posted on June 13, 2018 by jenny

I am so terrible at making time for my hobbies. Sewing and paper cutting are two of my favourite things to do, yet I rarely make time for them. I subscribe to the Craftpod subscription box and the Spring box arrived months ago. It included two hand stitching projects which were lovely but it’s taken…

Surprise Squishy Box from Squishy Kiosk

Win a Surprise Squishy Box from Squishy Kiosk

Posted on May 12, 2018February 11, 2023 by jenny

Have you succumbed to the new craze for squishies? My 8 year old absolutely loves the feel of them so was delighted to be sent an assortment of squishies from Squishy Kiosk. Squishies are amazing soft toys made from foam materials that children can’t help but squish! They remind me of the stress balls we…

Birchbox x Cath Kidston

Birchbox x Cath Kidston

Posted on April 18, 2018 by jenny

Don’t worry, I haven’t become a Beauty Blog (although there’s clearly nothing wrong with that). When an email dropped into my inbox about the Birchbox x Cath Kidston beauty subscription box I knew I was going to buy one. I’ve loved Cath Kidston for ages, although I have to admit I haven’t really enjoyed any…
