Activities
Everything we get up to – activities, learning and play
Searching for stars with Discovery Kids telescope
N has always been interested in the moon and stars ever since he was a toddler. So I was hoping that being sent the Discovery Kids telescope to review was going to be a hit with him. My degree was…
Project 366 2016 week 49 – festive photos
With only a week to go until Christmas, we’re finally getting festive and counting down our Project 366. On Sunday I went to St Albans to meet with a couple of my old school friends. We try and meet up…
My cracking top 10 Christmas songs
I love a good Christmas song, although Christmas carols are up there as well. I seem to have passed on my love of Christmas songs and music to N who discovered my Christmas compilation* album and has wandered off with…
Music streaming through your tv with Electric Jukebox
We love music in our house. We might not agree all the time on what to play, but all of us enjoy listening to it. The OH and N love to rock (loudly and in the dark) while watching bands…

Project 366 2016 week 41 – autumn
This week’s Project 366 is really starting to show autumn’s true arrival. We’ve seen cooler weather…in the mornings, mist and a morning of rain. On Sunday, it was more apples for pudding. We’re making our way through all the apples…
What to put in a kids craft box for different ages
We all know that children love to paint and make a mess getting creative, and that giving children the opportunity to do so is good for them. But it’s one of those activities that always takes time to set up,…
