These are a few of our favourite things

These are a few of our current favourites for simple play....

Rascal is loving these big, fat, liquid chalk pens - nice bright colours and so easy to use on the black board, windows or black paper (plus no chalky fingers for those littles who don't like icky fingers!) ...

 

bubbles ...  a perennial favourite  .....

  ...  and of coarse playdough. These garden printable are perfect for creating our own little garden with a bit of green play dough.

What are your current favoirte simple play ideas?

Bali Bali

Where has the year gone? It is May already and I haven't visited this space for a long time. There are various reasons - so much to do and so little time, hubby's parents have both been quite ill which has taken up a lot of his time over the past 6 months, and then I have just got out of the habit and I'm so far behind I don't know what to blog about now.

But enough excuses. We have just got back from a lovely family holiday to Bali so I will simply let you enjoy a few photos.

It was our first overseas holiday as a family so Bali was a relatively easy option. Only a few hours flying time, same time zone and easy family accommodation when we got there.

We didn't do too much sight seeing and we spent most of our holiday hanging out by the pool but it was very relaxing.

Apart from me getting an ear infection no one got sick ... which always makes a holiday much more enjoyable.

 I hope to be back with you again soon. Fingers crossed!

Racal is 4!

 Last weekend my middle boy turned 4! Such a big boy now and really looking forward to Kindy next year.

 He started the day with birthday candles and presents over breakfast and then we had a small party in the afternoon with a few friends and family.

Firemans are still a favourite so that was the them for the day. Free printable cake toppers, water bottle labels and party bag labels were all found here.

This moment - advent tea

Thanks Jennifer - I'm loving my tea advent!

Wordless Wednesday - Rock climbing

Hello ...

Sorry I have been away for so long. A little monkey has stolen my camera download cable so I haven't been able to upload photos. Hope to be back again soon.

Wordless Wednesday - puggles very late birthday present!

Maybe it will end up being a Christmas present? Wish me luck!
