Crafting fun with kids during the lockdown. With everything else going on at the moment and home learning seemingly topping every agenda. I have been keen to get the kids away from laptops and doing other stuff once their school day reaches an end. The weather is grim and it is practically dark by three …
Pass the Pugs Review (ad) I have fond memories of playing Pass the Pigs as a child. It would entertain for hours. Back in the late 1970s when the game was first released I often could be found sitting around a table with family or friends casually tossing two little plastic pig’s into the air, …
Getting Creative with Design Bundles The kids are back to school, things seem to be getting back to normal (ish) and the evenings are starting to draw in. The kids are not outside as much any more, so I am needing to find stuff for them to do inside. The boys seem to have a …

The two younger members of the family are busying themselves with lots of school activities. The house is abuzz with talk of sports day, summer productions, sports week, summer holidays and the school summer fair. While some parents dread the thought of the fast approaching summer holidays, I always look forward to them. But that …
