If there’s one thing I wish I’d learned more about when I was growing up it’s money. Or perhaps I simply didn’t pay enough attention to any of life’s lessons about it along the way, because to this day I still wonder where all my money has gone when I arrive at the checkout and there’s…
Today I’m sharing one of Miss K’s favourite tricks: Making bubbles with the liquid hand soap in our bathroom. I’m not sure if she discovered this trick herself or if she learned it from a friend, but it first happened one day at school pick-up time when I was waiting and waiting for her to come out of…
Super hero’s are lots of fun – there’s no denying that. In the past we’ve made sparkly super hero masks and super hero peg dolls.

If you’ve followed our blog for a while (it would have to have been a long while!) you might remember that we made some simple toilet roll shakers when my girls were both in pre school. Now they are at big school, and we’ve made some cardboard tube shakers with longer paper towel rolls using the same basic technique….
