It’s December 23rd. You thought you had finished your Christmas shopping but you remember Aunt Molly or cousin Derek is coming on Boxing Day. The thought of heading back to the shops makes you want to drown yourself in sherry so, what do you do? I have come up with five home made gifts that…
Earlier in the year, I posted about my new love of pom poms. I have always loved them but they were such a pain to make that I usually just made one and gave up. Since finding my amazing pom pom maker though, I can make them in record speed and I have basically pom…
November is such a busy month as we plan ahead for Christmas. I have been busy beavering away. I started off by making a Leek and Pulled Pork Bubble and Squeak with Poached Egg in conjunction with British Leeks. They are currently in season and I really enjoyed this post. Then, we had an afternoon…
It’s never too early to start the Christmas crafting in my book-especially if you’re making homemade things for a lot of people. For that reason, I have put the children to work already. In the last week or so we have been finger painting up a storm-all in the name of Christmas cards. As part…

We don’t celebrate Halloween. You can read why here but despite Boo attending a Catholic school, it seems they turn a blind eye to the meaning behind it and are throwing a Halloween disco. Not one to deprive her, I decided bats were the least Halloween-like because we actually have them in our garden so…
I’ve been thinking about a new blogger linky for a while now. Bloggers make such a huge amount but I have yet to find a linky where you can showcase a variety of things. I have therefore decided to have a go at #WhatIMade every month. The linky will open on the first of every…
It is a sad realisation that Summer is over. I think September is technically the start of Autumn but with the rubbish weather we have had here this year, I think we have all been crossing our fingers that we might just get one more week of warm, dry weather. As I looked up at…
Picture the scene. It’s a rainy day in the summer holidays. We’ve all got a touch of cabin fever so what is the answer? Become superheroes of course. So here is Super Mummy Saving the day with sticker crafts With her side-kick Super Baby. Together, they can save the four year old from an afternoon…
