Winter is such a cold season but there are plenty of opportunities to craft. We’ve been trying to spend time out in our garden every day (in lots of layers!) but are happy to craft inside too. We love creating with paper and couldn’t resist crafting a paper moose bookmark for kids. List of craft…
There have been a few culture shocks for me since I started my new job. Swapping the life of a freelance blogger to work in a school is strange, not least because there is a dress code at work. I’ve swapped my mum uniform of jeans and jumper for interview smart which has been a…
I absolutely love snowdrops. In fact I love any Spring flower, they are such a welcome sight after the gloom of Winter. We’ve been so excited to spot the snowdrops and crocuses popping up that we thought we would try and re-create the snowdrops at home. We actually spotted our first snowdrops when we visited…

I don’t know about you but we went through a lot of Christmas crackers this year. My children just loved them so we had them on Christmas Eve with our North Pole breakfast, Christmas Day and Boxing Day too. My 7 year old decided only he could read out the jokes and my little magpie…
It doesn’t feel like we’ve made too many winter crafts this year. With a few days before Christmas though the children just want to make things which suits me. Everything is done and ready so that’s pretty much all I want to do too. We all love to watch the birds in our garden, especially…
