Homemade Christmas Table Decoration

Honestly I’m not very good at this at all, so my photos really don’t do justice to how easy this really is and how good they look. What a great way to recycle cardboard too. Simply cut out two identical circles from cardboard, collect some pine cones, added with a candle, some glitter and some … Read more

Festive Bags

These were little kits I bought but could easily be made by cutting out some felt.   There was a snowman and a robin kit. It was a simple case of sewing together the two pieces with wool. The holes were already there making it easier for the children. Although I have to admit they … Read more

Baby it’s Cold Outside

Well  those in the UK might not all feel like Christmas is around the corner but you’d be hard to deny that Winter is on it’s way! Some things can be a bit annoying – especially running late because you I keep forgetting that I need to defrost my car! But look how pretty everything … Read more

Aladdin at The Roses Theatre Tewkesbury

Last week we went to The Roses Theatre to see Aladdin, written and directed by Ben Crocker. This production really captured the essence of everything that is Panto. There was the villain to boo at Abanazar (or-have-a-banana) played by Jeffrey Harmer. My three year old really enjoyed Booing! Lots of comedy with PC Ping Pong (played by … Read more

The Day I met Justin Bieber!!!!

His World Tour Tickets ran out in seconds, and I missed out when new dates were added. Despite direct messaging him on twitter still nothing! Ok so when I met Justin Bieber it was just a waxwork model of Justin at London’s Madame Tussards but that’s the closest I have come yet! I was not … Read more

Christmas Pudding Plates

Easy peasy to make this Christmas Pudding. We are going to add some string on the back and hang them on the tree. We mixed up some paint until we got the brown we wanted and then my youngest set to work in just covering the whole of the plates. I reused an old curry … Read more
