Blenheim Palace visit
Since the snow left a week or so into April, we’ve been having generally warm and sunny weather. A few April showers but that’s to be expected. But it does meant that we’ve been able to get out and about…

Meal Planning Monday: 15th April 2013
My ‘try something different’ each week is getting harder to do as most new recipes take a bit longer than the old favourites that I know I can whizz up really quickly or that don’t take long to cook. By…
Arty play
Today’s been a funny day. Initially I had plans to take N to the nearby National Trust place for an Easter Egg hunt or swimming to make up for having no swimming for a few weeks, but morning plans failed…

Bleurgh

Keepsake boxes
A keepsake box is something that’s quite often mentioned in baby magazines or when talking with friends or family members….ooh first shoes, for the keepsake box, first tooth, first outfit etc. I decided to have a vague keepsake box but…
