Make shopping fun

Daisie hasn't stopped begging to go to nursery this morning (she doesn't start until september)

So Andy decided he'd take her to the shops instead so she's still out and not so restless.

Then it hit me why not make her up a fun little shopping list with pictures?

(I did grab a quick picture but the quality is awful and you can barely see as we done it all colourful in pencils which haven't been picked up to well)

So I  grabbed the best example I could find on google.

She loved the idea of having her own little list to tick off as they go round picking up items on the list :)

I was chuffed that she could recognize my attempt of a potato.

So off they went with her little shopping list and crayon in hand full of excitement!

We all know how stressful shopping with a bored and restless toddler/little one can be

This is something I plan to do every time the girls have to come shopping with me.

I'll update this post with pictures of Daisie with her shopping list in hand and our next trip out with her list.

Fun christmas ideas

Something great to do with your kids or grand kids for Christmas season. Buy 25 books, wrap them and place them near the tree with a fluffy blanket and stuffed toy to cuddle with. Every evening they get to take one of the books and open them and you spend some time reading to them and cuddling.

I can't wait to give each of these a go :) 

DISCLAIMER: I take no credit for these ideas, each I came across on facebook through friends sharing them. 
 

Colour me playhouse

I've seen these little houses all over instragram, So when I spotted them in my local Aldi I just had to get one for the girls, I was torn between putting it away for Christmas or letting them have it now as you can tell I was far to excited and gave it to them now :) They still haven't finished colouring it in a little while after starting it, the house fell silent for an hour and a half I had a peek in the house and both girls were glued to the tele. All tho it's made from cardboard it has kept my girls super quiet. I got abit carried away and coloured some of it in but I had to stop or Daisie wouldn't have any left to do on her side it's just so much fun. It may end up in the bin soon with it being cardboard and my girls being like bulls in china shops or if bear will actually go in it will become her little house. This has to be the best £7.99 I've ever spent.
