    Halloween Crafts with Kids

    October 30, 2019 /

    Halloween is a big deal in our house. We’ve already been out to the fun (if extortionate) pumpkin fields in Leeds again this year, so the kids are well set with giant pumpkins. They’ve been busy planning their designs, which are worryingly elaborate so we’ll have to see how they pan out… I think Halloween is so exciting for them because of all the build up, the otherworldly atmosphere of it, the darkness, the trick or treating, the pumpkins, the witches and magic… what’s not to love? There’s so much to get creative about too, though my Emilia doesn’t need ANY encouragement when it comes to craft. We were sent…

    Christmas Food & Drink Treats

    December 22, 2018 /

    M&S food is some of the best and for us, it’s a real treat. So when asked to sample some of their festive food this year my answer was a big fat YES PLEASE. They have a great range, including amazing, tasty vegetarian and vegan options, which can be hard to come by at Christmas.
