Keeping the kids entertained

Another way to entertain the kids this summer when the weather isnt so great, is to create your own spoon family, not only do you have fun creating each 'person' but the kids also get to play with them afterwards....here are some to get you inspired!

Painting with the kids

The school summer holidays are here, and its always difficult coming up with new ways to entertain the kids, especially when the weather isnt so great. These are a few ideas of painting, but with a twist....

Have fun x

Ella's Room

So a week ago my eldest daughter turned 9 and as promised we did her room up for her. She wanted something more grown up - and not pink! And somewhere she could retreat to with her friends....so this is what we came up with.......





She loves the daybed area, and uses it as a sofa to watch telly and read, and is handy for when she has friends to stay over.
And she has hardly been off her desk either....so another success story I think.

So now hopefully I can have a break for a while before having to pick up another paint brush or get the sewing machine out!

Graces Room

So this summer I promised both daughters new bedrooms for their birthdays, seeing as neither had had much done since moving into the house a couple of years ago, except for a slap of paint.

So Grace had her's done first, and we went down the beachhut theme, seeing as I have spent every summer of my life at the beachhut my parents own in dorset....

I uploaded the pics to living etc forums so take a look if you want to see more..

She loves her new room so much we hardly see her now!
