#TheOrdinaryMoments - Crafty Kids

Our little lady is so crafty and not just in the arty way. She loves nothing more than having a project to work upon, especially so if it results in creating something which she can use or display. During the early days of lockdown, E became really interested in using Hama beads to create various shapes and animals, which we then ironed and she hung in her window. E has since made a variety of rainbows which she has given to grandparents and family as gifts and this week she made her very own rainbow coaster! Whilst E has been a …

Gifts For Girls This Christmas

With Christmas just around the corner I’ve spent the past few weeks on a super shopping spree in order to sort Santa’s sacks (pardon the pun). I started planning presents months back, plans may be one thing but purchases are another and I’m terrible for holding out for a bargain which is why I’ve left it until now to finalise my festive purchases for family and friends. I’ve never been one for ‘last minute shopping’, I’ve always been organised especially when it comes to Christmas. This year however I’ve held out buying a few bits and pieces in the hope that …
