A homeschool day of having fun!

Lots of our homeschool days are fun, but today we made a deliberate attempt to avoid being too 'academic' for want of a better word and do something a bit more creative. Mummy had been on a watercolour painting taster session at the weekend (probably the first bit of time I have...

8 teeth and counting!

We noticed today that Trin's 8th tooth has come through. Thankfully she is not mega-troubled by teething at the moment. She has had the odd grumpy day where nothing else was wrong and as it is not like her to be grumpy, we figured out it was probably the teething pain that...

Wot so funee? - J get's his own back

This week's Actually Mummy's Wot so funee blog hop is being hosted over at Mummy Never Sleeps and here we are joining in with J by my side as I type this as he wanted to be involved... You may recall Daniel's piece of homeschool work where he told us that he...

Joshua has had a great day and to celebrate here's more of his jokes!

I have mentioned before just how well Monday's seem to go for home-schooling, and today was one of those great Mondays. Both boys were really focussed and keen to get their work done and Joshua just blew me away with something he did. I called out for D to bring me some...

Veg box meal plans

The reason I am blogging about this is because whenever I try to get organised about planning ahead with meals or trying out a range of dishes rather than sticking to the same boring old repetoire, I usually end up with scraps of paper everywhere (which then disappear) and I never...

Splish Splash Fun!

Now you may well be looking at these photos and wondering why on earth I have entitled this blog post "Splish Splash Fun!" when there is no sign of splishing or splashing or any water at all. Well this is our review of Nuby's Splish Splash Stacking Cups which are designed...

Happy Birthday!

Updated to link up with Raisie Bay's cake linky: I had spotted a picture of the 'pigs in mud' cake on facebook and decided to have a go. I was pleased with how it turned out considering that baking is not one of my strong points! I made two chocolate sponge cakes...

Time to celebrate!

Who would have thought it? Seven years ago we were blessed as Daniel arrived as our second child - a little brother to J. Back then, we could not have guessed that he would become the Brilliant Chef, such a kind-hearted and lovely boy, and a big brother himself to baby T. Birthday...

Joshua's Jokes - The March installment

As we are now into March, I guess you can have the next installment of Joshua's jokes (still a couple more installments in store for you before we get to the end of his really long list!). Why do birds fly south in the Winter? It's too far to walk. Who delivers presents to baby sharks at Christmas? Santa Jaws What do you call a blind dinosaur? Do-you-think-he-saw-us! Why...

Dressing my family for Spring!

It's a blog's life

Having a blog is like having a job, but you work longer than 9 to 5. Having a blog is like having a baby, Something you've brought to life. Having a blog is like having a secret den, Somewhere to escape to and hide. Having a blog is like having a best friend, Someone in whom you confide. Having a blog is a family diary, In which we can take pride. Having a blog connects...

Trin's new dresses

You may remember how I don't like it when Trin outgrows her lovely dresses, but the good news is that she can then grow into her new ones. Granny treated Trin to a couple of gorgeous new outfits last week, and they just suit her so much that I had to share... Perfect...
