A unicorn horn made from felt, ribbon and artificial flowers

One of the things Jessica requested when we put together our summer activity list was to make a unicorn horn. I had fun making her a pretty unicorn horn headband. However, as this was too tricky for her and Sophie to try making themselves, we also created simple unicorn horns from paper cones. These were… Read More

The WizMops 2 in 1 spray mop

I’ve used a mop with a microfibre pad for a few years now. The pads are easy to remove and clean and the mop takes up very little space in my kitchen. One thing I do find annoying though is having to carry a bucket of floor cleaning solution from room to room when mopping.… Read More

From the mouths of babes #130 – Accidents happen

31/07/201730/07/2017
Jessica as a toddler with a speech bubble saying "From the mouths of babes" and the text "A linky for sharing the things kids say"

From the mouths of babes is a weekly linky which invites you to share a post, old or new, about something your children have said.

Me and Mine – July 2017

This summer is going to be all about making the most of the family moments. We ended last month with a cardiac check-up for Jessica which led to her cardiac team deciding that her next surgery needs to take place sooner rather than later. August may well bring another hospital stay, and the rollercoaster ride… Read More

I took part in a similar challenge last year and loved it so am looking forward to continuing with it this year. Here are the things that I’ve been grateful for over the past week:… Read More

Making mud pies in the garden

28/07/201728/07/2017
A selection of mud cakes on the grass in the garden

Making mud pies in the garden is one of those wonderful fun activities that children love to do. I have to confess that it’s something the girls rarely do.
