Smiggle Stationery Haul-Summer 2017

July 28, 2017 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

The schools may have only just finished for summer but retailers are already looking ahead to back to school and some savvy parents (not me) may well have already bought school uniform for the next academic year.

Halloween Crafting with Baker Ross

October 15, 2016 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

With Halloween just around the corner, it can be quite difficult to find things for small children to do.

Farm Themed Easter Gifts for Children

March 12, 2016 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

Easter and Spring are my favourite times of year. I especially like all of the Easter bunnies, chicks and lambs available to buy in the shops. Quite often, I buy in loads of Easter-themed napkins and other items in the sale because, quite frankly, on a farm, Easter theme goes all year round. I have never … [Read more…]

Personal Planning-My New Addiction

February 26, 2016 by farmerswifeandmummy 3 Comments

I’ve always loved stationary. When I was a little girl, I remember the sheer joy of having a new pencil case. If we went out for the day, I would choose a new pencil or eraser from the gift shop and I suppose this love had spilled into my adult life. I love gel pens … [Read more…]

Revamping My New-Old Desk

January 8, 2016 by farmerswifeandmummy 6 Comments

I’ve wanted my own work space for ages. Hubster and I shared a desk in our office-come toy-storage area. He got annoyed when nail varnish, crochet and other paraphernalia got left on said desk and I got annoyed when I had to wade through 16 copies of farming papers and paperwork to blog. It was … [Read more…]
