This is an easy peasy craft I did with my 5 year old for a bit of school holiday fun combined with back-to-school anticipation, or in our case, beginning big school for the first time ever! These little pencil toppers probably won’t take to being tossed around in a school bag very well without breaking and will be kept at home to look fabulous on the girls new ‘homework desk’. They are very easy … [Read more...]

We absolutely love baking – if you visit Just For Daisy it’s chocked full of recipes and Miss Daisy is almost always involved. She measures, stirs, pours and can crack eggs with the best of them! At Christmas time our shortbread recipe gets a good workout and we also love to make iced sugar cookies to gift to our friends and neighbours.

Whoosh (v.) to pass by very rapidly. Everyone I know has had a super busy crazy year. “How are you?” “Super busy, I’m flat out.

This is how you make them… You will … [Read more...]

Here's something that we enjoyed creating on a cold and rainy day. There wasn’t anything particularly special about this activity; to be honest they may not even make it to the fridge display.

Why apples? mostly because they were looking … [Read more...]

It is an incredibly busy time of year and I really should be working on crossing to do’s off the list, or start picking up clothes off the bedroom. You know those times when you really feel you should be something but you can’t be arsed bothered. I blame Lana, someone I’ve never had the pleasure to meet in real life, yet I was drawn to her blog post “11 things you probably don’t know about … [Read more...]
