Hello! Welcome to the week. I hope everyone has had a great weekend and that you’re all raring to go. I am, sort of, but I have some things I’d like to sort out and organise before I feel that I can really get going. One of the things I’d like to plan for are [...]

It is Monday, the start of a new week, and the week that I begin to slowly, slowly decorate the house for Christmas.

I finished the stockings. Simple, fun bright stockings that will attract the eyes of my five month old babies. I’ve started what I hope is a tradition in our little family as I’d like to aim to make them both a stocking each Christmas. I’ll let you know how I get on with that idea, [...]

Robert and I have set up the basics, the cot beds, drawers, clothing, [...]

How To Make A Christmas Stocking So, as my two babies continue to grow inside my tummy and I continue to constantly pick myself up off of the floor after such an enormous, heartwarming show of kindness at our good news things are still moving on apace here at the house. We continue to decorate [...]

So here it is, my Gingerbread House for 2009. I’ve made it early for two reasons. 1, Because I’m obsessed with Christmas 2, Because I like to give you, the reader, a chance to decide whether or not you’d like to make one. There’s nothing worse than being presented with an idea that you would [...]

It is not long before the children will be packing their little ruck-sacks and heading back to start another year of school. This is a great project that may help them to get excited about going back and they can actually use it. *We used a sewing machine for this project but this pencil case [...]
