With lockdown #2 well under way we've been busy trying to find plenty of activities to keep the little ones entertained and with the festive season right around the corner we've started to focus on some fun Christmas activities. Seeing as we have so much extra time on...
When is it considered acceptable to put up the Christmas decorations? With everything that's been going on this year with covid and for us personally with loved ones being unwell, it just feels as if it's about time the kids had something nice. Obviously we have no...
Eek! I can't believe that Halloween is only two weeks away! with everything that's been going on, this year seems to have passed us by twice as fast as usual. We won't be able to go to any parties this year or out trick or treating but we're still planning to make the...
I really can't believe how fast Christmas is rolling around this year, it seems as if the last one has only just been and gone. I think we're all expecting this one to be a bit different from the normal with everything that's going on in the world right now. Our...

Ever since he was tiny my son has always loved going to see the ducks. Where we live we're lucky to have some lovely little duck ponds locally and he loves going with his pound coin to buy some feed for them. The ponds are always quiet and the ducks are always out in...
How cute are these little pig corner bookmarks? For the last couple of weeks my toddler has been absolutely obsessed with the nursery rhyme old MacDonald had a farm. She sings it non-stop and over the last few days I haven't been able to get it out of my head either!...
It's been a quiet couple of weeks on the crafting front. Like many others we've slowly been trying to adjust to the new school routine with the new covid regulations that are in place. Whilst we still find time for crafting its obviously not as much as it was before...
