I’m writing this curled up in my armchair on New Year’s Eve. I’d planned to do a fun family party to end the day and then start the new year with a freezing cold dip in the sea with Paul and the children (children watching), but as has so often been the case this year,…
These are some fun little crafts I have been doing with my two toddlers in the lead-up to Halloween. Traditions are important to us and we all really enjoy celebrating Samhain. On Samhain itself, our focus is on our ancestors and telling stories of the past, as well as dressing up with our children. They…
The pure joy of picking fruit is, I think, to eat not what you want but rather what nature is giving you at that moment and accept it, to live in total harmony with nature and the seasons. I felt a bit foolish the first time we took our daughter blackberry picking and explained to…
Summer’s update I was so ready for June. If you read our May round-up then you will know that it wasn’t an easy month for me and I was quite happy when it ended. The reason I am enjoying these monthly blog posts so much is because at first, I didn’t think June had been…
Most people who know me will know that I would never describe myself as artistic – artistically challenged, maybe, but never artistic! So why on earth did I sign myself up to create and host a Rapunzel-themed party for a 6-year-old? Simple really; because memories can last a lifetime. I have a very good relationship…
Summer’s update To say May was a month feels like an understatement. In all honesty, it’s been a long time since I’ve felt so broken. You know when everything comes at once and your brain doesn’t feel like it can cope with anything else and then along strolls something else for you to deal with?…
The tradition of spring cleaning goes back even further than I imagine most people realise. I think many, like me, visualise it as a Victorian tradition of taking the rugs outside to beat out the dust and whitewashing the walls. However, the practice can be seen far back in time, in many different cultures, and…
During the colder winter months our screen time, as well as the children’s, tends to creep up. I think it’s a natural part of hibernating, but when spring comes around and as the weather starts improving and more things are open, I like to make a big effort to get us back to only watching…
These are a few fun little things I made in the evenings over the last few weeks. I love to have seasonal decor in the house to really get into the holiday spirit, whatever the holiday maybe, but I also aim to be frugal and sustainable. Due to these two requirements, I make as much…
This tart was invented to create a simple but delicious dessert that my sister-in-law would be able to enjoy with us. We are always experimenting with vegan, gluten-free, and toddler-friendly foods so that everyone can sit down together and enjoy a great meal together. This tart is a bit pricey to make as it uses…
