I always try to make our meals from scratch, I would say around 90% of our dinners are home-cooked. Meal planning helps me keep the cost of our food shop down, and I love creating nutritious dinners on a budget. With the cost-of-living crisis at its peak,the struggle is real right now, saving money in every area of life has become a priority.
Nila loves making gifts, all year round, if I’m being honest, but for us, nothing says Christmas quite like her creating little handmade presents for her friends. There is something so special about children taking the time to make something themselves, especially during the festive season.
The weekends right now are made for Christmas crafting, and these Hot Chocolate Christmas Mugs Decoration Kits from Baker Ross look good enough to eat! There’s something about sitting around the kitchen table, Christmas music playing in the background, a warm cup of coffee in hand, and watching Nila busy creating her little master pieces.
There is something so satisfying about opening up a craft kit; everything you need is right there in one little package. No need to rummage through drawers or make a last-minute trip to the shops because the glue lid hasn't been put on properly, true story!. A craft kit makes an afternoon of getting creative feel simple, fun and effortless!.
This time of year is perfect for a craft day, and if you know us, you will know that Nila and I love nothing more than getting our craft on together. When the weather turns chilly, the UK is always cold, right? , so an afternoon with the craft box out in our house is always a win!.
September has arrived, and with it comes the beginning of cosy season in our house. The days are getting cooler, the evenings are darker, and the slow cooker has officially made its way back onto the kitchen counter. One of the first dishes we always make when autumn rolls around is a slow-cooker minted lamb stew.
One dish I only ever seem to have at my mum’s house is my nan’s curry. It’s funny how childhood dinners never quite taste the same once you’ve got your own home.We recently had it whilst visiting, and after a few messages asking how to make it ,I thought: I’ve got to let you all in on the recipe.
We love a bit of seasonal crafting in our house, and once again Baker Ross hasn’t disappointed us. Their latest Seaside Craft-it! BOX has been the perfect way to keep Nila busy and her imagination flowing.
Another craft session this summer, and Nila has got herself stuck right into making this really cool Magic Bubble Slime from Baker Ross. We have done a lot of slime over the years, glitter slime, fluffy slime, even glow-in-the-dark, but we have never come across bubble slime before, and this one was a solid 10/10.
Summer holidays are here, and if you're anything like me, you're always on the lookout for quick and fun activities to get through those long afternoons before dinner. One brand I always come back to is Baker Ross — their kits are super easy to use and always a hit with the kids!
Easter half-term has officially begun, and we’ve kicked things off with a whole bundle of creative fun thanks to Baker Ross! If you’re looking for Easter crafts for kids to keep them busy during the holidays, these kits have been an absolute hit in our house. Here’s a little look at what we’ve been getting up to so far this Easter break.
World Book Day is just around the corner, and we absolutely love getting creative with our costumes! As a family of bookworms, we enjoy diving into our favourite stories and bringing beloved characters to life. This year, after going through all our favourite books, Nila decided she wanted to recreate the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland.
2025 is here, and we love starting the year with meaningful goals and intentions. Instead of setting New Year’s Resolutions that often fizzle out within weeks, we’re embracing vision boards. The team at Baker Ross kindly sent the girls some fantastic goodies to help them kick off their vision boards for this year.
The elves have been keeping us busy while they’ve been hard at work preparing for Christmas! Not only have they left us with plenty of festive spirit, but they also treated us to some amazing goodies, including this wooden Christmas Elf Decoration Kit from Baker Ross.
It's no secret we are a family who love to craft. Our craft cupboard is forever overflowing, and we are always on the hunt for something new to get our hands on, but sometimes you can make some really cool and easy craft activities with things lying around your home.
Most weekends we are getting our craft on. Seasonal crzaftimg is our favoote, especially Halloween and Christmas. We really have spooked out the house this year with all our creations, over the weekend we have been making some wicked witch plates from Baker Ross.
As summer rolls in, it’s time to get creative with your child’s school pack lunches. Nila loves a packed lunch, they can sit in the playground and enjoy it, but most of all let’s not forget the importance of adding a few little treats to make lunchtime even more exciting.
March has hit and it’s all things Easter in this house. We have been getting our bake on and these Easter mini egg brownies made with The Groovy Food Company are not only easy to make but absolutely delicious.
We have had our bake on this weekend and I wanted to do some breakfast meal prep for the week ahead. We all love bagels and I have been meaning to try out some, the last time I did, it was a bit of a fail but these ones turned out SO good!
