Links – Kids Dress ups to Make
Ok so I may just be posting these fabulous dress ups links so that my Mum reads this and decides to make some for my kids… but hey… at least I’m honest! Boy-ish dress-ups are always hard to find but these fleece pirate dress-up from Sew Can Do are cool and my girls would love […]
Tree House Doll’s House.
Inspired by Childhood101 and Irresistible Ideas we decided to make a tree house doll’s house as a gift for Morgan’s 4th birthday. We used Silver Birch branches and one big log of hardwood for the large rounds. We drilled and screwed the bigger support trunks to a pine board base and drilled and screwed the […]
Thank Goodness for Imagination.
Being woken at 5am to gale force winds, water cascading down the walls of your bathroom, water flowing in under the kitchen door, and ‘rain drops’ dripping from the corner of the kid’s room doesn’t make for a very fun start to the day.

The Thing About Trains
We got our first set of Brio Trains when the girls were just toddlers. Since then there has been a long love affair with trains in our house. We’ve now got a huge selection of wooden train tracks, roads and associated accessories, and each Christmas or birthday we seem to need an even bigger box […]
What Can We Do Today? Go Prehistoric!
I need at least ten minutes of peace to get Muski to sleep during the day. That means I need ten minutes where the Twinadoes don’t sound like baby elephants on our wood floors, don’t scream at each other at the top of their lungs and don’t come whining to me for something ever 30 […]
