School’s Out – garden games

The school holidays are upon us so I’ve been exploring some fun, simple and inexpensive ideas to liven up the back garden for Molly – it’s hard to justify buying climbing frames and playhouses in this country when the next rain shower is just a day away at best. Please Mother Nature… prove me wrong

roll on the weekend :)

I just LOVE this idea – trampolines are not just for jumping :) more fun ideas on my pinterest page first spotted on Rave&Review

what the cus !#%?

Watched Roald Dahl’s Fantastic Mr Fox today with Little Miss – can’t understand why I hadn’t heard of this movie before now. It’s blaze-trailingly fantastic. So hooked am I that I’ve download some of the soundtrack to play in the car when out adventuring with ‘herself’. Stop-motion animation at it’s absolute best right here…

winning apps for kids

During an insomnia spell lastnight I downloaded a few new hot tipped apps (note to self….leave the iphone downstairs at bedtime).

halloween party fab finds

Got lost on pinterest again tonight! it’s impossible not to :) My best friend’s daughter is having her special halloween birthday party on Monday and I’m going to create one of these halloween photobooths for her – what special little party portraits she will have ‘for keeps’. I’m also loving spider cupcakes, blindfolded tasting game,

My little baby is all grown up – what started as a project for Irish children age 0 to 13, just over nine months ago, has now spread it’s wings to include all little artists, all over the world.
