We’ve had a mud kitchen in the garden since the girls were really young, they used to have a bath in it when we came home from a day at the beach. Stu knocked it together from a sink I picked up, for free, on Facebook Marketplace and some scraps of wood we had lying…

How To Create A Scandinavian Inspired Girl’s Bedroom.
Nancy’s room was “done” a few years ago, it’s been done and redone several times to be honest, but the last time was supposed to be the “done for a good while” time. If you want to pop back in time and take a look at the last transformation, you can here. But things began…
Easy Reads For Under 10s.
If you follow me on Instagram then you’ll already know that we are quite partial to a lovely book in our house and recently I have been adding to our collection. Sadly I haven’t read a book for myself in quite some time, I’m just completely unable to concentrate, as my mind soon diverts to…
IKEA IVAR – storage solutions for a box room.
Eula’s room has had many setups over the last few years, I’m forever in search of “the one”, which will make the small space work best for us. In the past I have favoured vintage cupboards, for their character and the ease at which you can change them up with a lick of paint. But…
A Christmas Gift Guide with a Difference.
Giving a gift can be a wonderful experience, that buzz when you know you’ve found just the thing for that particular person, the time taken to wrap it up beautifully, the anticipation of handing it over. However, finding the right gift can also be rather stressful and headache inducing, especially for that person (usually a…
What do I do it all for?
Today has got me thinking, what do I do it all for? All this stuff I’m mixed up in, fingers in lots of pies… A few years ago we decided we wanted some babies, so we did that. I planned on staying at home with them for as long as I could, I didn’t really…
Small Space Garden Ideas – Table Top Edible Bowl.
It’s no secret that I’m in love with my garden, those that follow me on Instagram and watch my stories will have seen that it features heavily in our daily life. This said, it’s a relatively recent love affair, which intensified when we spent some time last year having a bit of an overhaul. You…
Easter Party.
We’re off up to Wales tomorrow morning, to visit family and join in with my cousin’s birthday celebrations. This means we’re away on Easter Sunday and Nancy was a little concerned that the Easter Bunny wouldn’t know our temporary address, she’s even written to him, explaining the situation! I’ve reasured her that that’s one clever…
All the kinds of Mother.
Some of us are Mothers through choice, some of us are Mothers by accident. Some of us would love to be a Mother, but not yet, some of us long to be a Mother, but things don’t always work out like that. Some of us have plans, but being a Mother isn’t one of them….
Tiptoe Craft Desk Update.
The craft corner is perhaps the most used area of the house, certainly by the girls that is. If we had to get rid of every single toy, as long as the supply cupboard was well stocked, I’m not sure Nancy and Eula would be all that concerned, it’s a very industrious corner, a constant…
