Sharing Family Life and Travel
For Christmas, we decided to take the kids to Paris! I'm a big fan of making memories rather than buying things they don't really need that just becomes clutter. Why Paris? Freckled Face number 4 has had a little obsession with the Eiffel Tower since she was about 18 months old and Paris was on [...]
Yet again Christmas is going to be different this year and plans have been cancelled due to Covid. As we tried to figure this years Christmas out, we couldn't help but think of our Christmas in Canada. 2 years ago we were lucky enough to spend 2 and a half weeks in Canada with most [...]
Paphos (or Pafos) is a fun and beautiful place to visit. It's great for visiting as a couple, with friends or as a family. After a recent visit to Paphos Cyprus, we thought we'd share a few 'Must See' places. Archaeological Park An absolute must! Not only is the history cool and interesting, but the [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Usually, we would spend our Halloween at a Trunk n Treat activity at church, with friends. Thanks to COVID19, this year, that wasn't allowed. So here is what we did instead. 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 [...]
