Make Lunch Fun for Little Ones

May 31, 2010

The theme for this month’s Unplugged Project (via Unplug Your Kids) is bread. This reminded me of something my own mother did with me when I was a little girl. Materials Bread, butter and a cup. Method Twist the cup on the bread to punch a hole. Eat. The children thought this activity/lunch was brilliant (bless their little socks). You [...]

Inhibiting Play

May 30, 2010

Saturday morning: The husband let me sleep in! Would you believe it, I got out of bed at 10 o’clock (wonders never cease). I left the comfort of the bed to find a huge pirate ship box display set up in the kitchen, equipped with half the linen cupboard to make for a sea. If I was [...]

It looks like my [...]

However, we did live in New South Wales for 5 years and our two eldest children were born there. I thought, naturally, the children would barrack for Queensland; [...]

There’s a certain nicety about being ignorant of world events; however I don’t want my world to become so small, based around the poos and wees of my children [...]
