Red Ted Got Crafty & decorated his Innocent Drinks lunchbox. Pip Squeak Got Slurping. The lunchbox is now coming on holiday with us! I am not yet an expert at “lunch box snacks”, as my kids are still quite young.. however, this is what I aim to do (from when I used to take lunches [...]
Aaah, a lovely day at the Wetland Centre in Putney, London. We played with water. We walked. We saw baby ducks (two kinds!). We walked. We had some juice. We PLAYED!!!! And we PLAYED!!!! And we PLAYED! We explored. We climbed. We PLAYED! Lovely day! And I was complimented on Pip Squeak’s lovely Strawberry Bandana [...]
Some of you will know, that one of the things I miss “most” since being a mum, is a cheeky catch up with a friend and very yummy Cappuccino. Coffee shops with a toddler and a pre-schooler are just no longer as much fun… So… you cannot imagine quite how excited I was when Morphy [...]
…Someone is excited! Actually, we all are! We are going to Butlins for The Englishman’s Birthday!! Totally chuffed to have been selected as one of the The Butlins Ambassador Families and now can’t wait to go!! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
We *finally* got round to having our family portraits done.. it was lingering at the back of mind for ages and I just wasn’t getting around to it. Pip Squeak has gone through a massive growth spurt recently and it just reminded me of how quickly they are growing up and that I wanted to catch [...]

It is was all inspired by Red Ted’s “homework book” he has at nursery, which suggested we “record his holiday” for him to share once back at nursery next week. Already loving photography I thought – yes, let’s get Red Ted [...]
What? I hear you shout?! THAT is Happiness?? Let me explain: When you are feeling peckish (or H-ungry), there is nothing better than a nice crumpet smothered in butter and with a nice cuppa… and whilst munching on said wonders, flicking through a gorgeous cook book to decide what to make for supper. Blissful 5minutes [...]
A few weeks ago Red Ted went on a “drawing frenzy” and drew 10s of these little “robots” – big ones, little ones, ones with babies inside, even a robot slide. We had to cut them all out and create a gallery in his room. For some reason he is going through a “can’t draw” [...]
So.. I had dinner to cook for the kids and I had a handful of craft sticks. So I gave these to the kids, a bunch of pens and some googly eyes, whilst I sorted their dinner. And we got.. these adorable Craft Sticks Bookmarks. They would be a FABULOUS little gift for Father’s Day [...]
Handprint Animals: A Complete Alphabet A-Z
Well, it has been a fun 26 weeks! I cannot believe that we embarked on a Handprint Alphabet over 26 weeks ago (that is 6 months ago?! Wow). And what an alphabet journey it has been! We started off with an innocent A for Alien.. then a B for Bee.. and suddenly we were on [...]
Today we are looking at being “Creative with Flowers” – I decided to do our very first “How To Press Flowers” session with the children. Flower pressing is another on of those “childhood” classic crafts that you can have a go at – it is surprising how well some flowers do press (whilst, ahem, other don’t). So [...]
