Sharing Family Life and Travel
There a few ways to make a volcano. All are fun, but this is super EASY! This was not a planned activity at all, it was a very last minute idea (which is why it doesn't look particularly great!), but it worked well and entertained the kids for a while! You will need A2 Paper [...]
This week is Children's Mental Health Week. With all the craziness of the past year, I think this years acknowledgment of it is even more important than ever! Children, like adults, have had a year of not knowing when normality will resume, being teased with a little normality - for it to be taken away [...]
Christmas time can be a very busy time of year, but despite the busy, hustle and bustle of it all, we like to get creative. Here are some of the things we made this year, throughout the Christmas Season. Chocolate and Peppermint Kisses Christmas Chocolate and Peppermint Kisses What's Christmas without a bit of baking [...]
We got SNOW!!! This made the last few days of 2020 lots of fun! 4 days of playing in the snow! We are very happy and had lots of fun! On the first day of snow, there was a lot of snow, but it was still exciting to see and be out it in. We [...]
A couple of years ago we went to Dunham Massey at Christmas and we were SO impressed! We absolutely LOVED it! Last year we spent Christmas time and New Years in Canada, so we didn't go to see the display. This year, with all the madness of Covid-19, we were unsure if we were going [...]
With all the madness that is going on at the moment, we thought we would try and give you a little giggle! Here are some jokes to share with the family. If you're making your own Christmas crackers this year, these might come in handy! What do you get when you cross a Snowman with [...]

PAINTED PUMPKINS Which one is your favourite?? The kids really enjoyed doing these! They were limited to what they could chose to do, because [...]
Halloween - you either love it or hate it....or not really bothered either way!? I, personally, quite like having a bit of fun with the kids. We keep it a bit of fun, nothing too scary - I'm too much of a wuss! Here are some fun things we've enjoyed doing for Halloween. MONSTER CROISSANTS [...]
I am one of the LEAST green-fingered people ever. We have tried growing fruits and vegetables every year, for the last 4 years. This year was, by far, our most/only successful year! We thought we would share with you what we have found to be the easiest to grow, and some of our mistakes that [...]
Back in the summer we visited Astbury Watersports Centre in Cheshire. We booked a family session online. We had 2 canoes for an hour. When we arrived at Astbury Mere Lake, it was pretty busy with dog walkers and fishermen. The Watersports Centre had a one-way system in place, and they cleaned equipment after use. [...]
