Sometimes we just need something simple. If you are trying to make your Christmas TRH book advent calendar daily it can also become a bit much doing things that are complicated and there are many other factors going on around you (shopping, pantomimes, school productions, writing cards, decorating the tree). Or maybe your child is … Read more
One of the first books we discovered that my son really loves are the Usborne ones where you have to find the duck on every page. So today I am including “The Naughty Sheep.” Even as early on as the front cover there is a duck hiding. With fantastic illustrations and easy to read stories … Read more
Paper Baubles I love this paper bauble craft, simply because it is a craft that ANYONE can make. Make it with the wee ones (get them to scribble and paint) or with the older ones, get them to cut and stick. Or just make them yourself! The run up to Christmas is a great time … Read more

It’s about how things have meaning – which is why first reading starts with pictures. Then there’s the joy of learning that … Read more
When I was invited to a 3 course meal with drinks in a posh hotel I knew immediately that TinyMe was a brand that cared. Ionela made sure that everything was okay every step of the way, and really looked after my friend Julie (who cannot drink) during the event. Ben had flown all the … Read more
Christmas TRH and Book Advent is about combing two of my favourite things. This year I have been purchasing books slowly (24 books do not come cheap). So this year we are making 24 different TRH Christmas crafts and then securing the bottom with a bit of cardboard (from the bottom of a cereal box), … Read more
A nice photo can make a lovely gift at Christmas and in this day and age you can do so much with the images – canvas, calendars, cups, keyrings, magnets, t-shirts, baubles and so on. I tend to buy the school picture every year at this time of year, but with the children being in … Read more
