I admit is, the current Lego phenomena here (over a month of solid play and counting) led me to suggest to Zoe that building a series of Artetc days around houses and street scenes would be interesting. I’ve got various non-art related ideas for this too and I do find that a tied together set […]
Telly Food Tech (aka Healthy Eating)
Introducing the first ever guest post by Max 🙂 This was my first crack at pro-active HE for a while now and it was generally a pretty successful day; everyone stayed involved through the day, enjoyed what they did and learnt something, so I guess you could say we met all our learning objectives for […]
Being a better mummy
Now that, I hate saying this but I’m having to try and make it true, the worst of the raw grieving is beginning to pass, I’m trying to keep my promise to Freddie that I would be a better mummy to the girls in remembrance of him. I love them so much and losing a […]
Holidays
As is customary in the Puddle household, last week we took ourselves off to Centerparcs. It’s always a good way for us to have a low maintenance wind down holiday after the busy Xmas period and one of those holidays which, being a large-ish family, has not too much effort attached. In fact, it’s easy, […]
Money can't buy you love
I know they say that – and it’s true – but nothing beats a birthday where the people who love you go out of their way (and some way out of their pocket) to give you gifts that will bring masses of joy and pleasure. Look at that; 1000’s of hours of reading, knitting, lovely […]
Popcorn & Cranberry Christmas Craft
The morning is best drawn a veil over for now but while I stomped off in a huff, the girls made gingerbread. We ate it all, so perhaps we’ll add a photo of more tomorrow and Fran has promised to send me the link. We can go for an edit then 🙂 (And here it […]
Make a Fireplace Christmas Craft
Or how to make sure Father Christmas can get into your house if you don’t have a chimney. In our slightly nomadic past, which ended abruptly almost 5 years ago when we bought this house, we always managed to rent houses with chimneys, making it nice and easy for the great man to access the […]
Heaven knows, anything goes.
I did better today. Not as in “feel happy and chirpy and like Xmas is coming” but better in a “put one foot in front of the ****ing other” sort of a way. I can do happy. I can do Christmas. My garden is not full of snow like the other parts of the country […]
Christmas Wreaths & Fimo Xmas Shapes
A couple of weeks ago I did a round up of some Christmas craft ideas, when I still had hope we’d replicate last years happy Christmas crafty month. We’ve not quite achieved that so far, but there is still time and we finally made a start on it on Monday,yesterday and today – thank heavens […]
Maddy Heaven
She’s loved Buzz since she was about 2 years old; finding this was Maddy heaven. She took it very seriously 😆
