One day last week I innocently sat on my bed after the girls had gone into their rooms (you know as you do waiting for them to go to sleep yet you are there still an hour later scrolling through what feels like the entirety of the internet! Just me?) I thought about my day and opened my phone to post to Instagram about Roma’s last Friday of nursery having made the decision to take her back down to one day a week. For me mostly.
When it comes to Easter Bonnets, well craft in general actually, I am all about the understated. How to make something easy and effective with the help of children and perhaps maybe even beautiful whilst you’re at it and I am all ears! I am also a big fan of letting children make things themselves, which, I hear you say, may not go hand in hand with beautiful and understated! Well I am here to tell you that it can…with the right persuasion. And by that I mean surrounding them with the right tools for the job.
January, the month that universally seems to bring out the blues. Blue Monday, big expectations of new year new you, big plans and twinges of sadness. Where everyone seems to be complaining that it’s cold and dark and wondering when spring will arrive. That they have no money and it’s such a let down time after the magic that is Christmas. Wishing for it to be over.
