If you've been following me for a while then you'd know we love to get crafty! Lockdown has also given us a lot more time to tackle a number of projects.

From developing fine motor skills to supporting self-esteem, getting crafty has serious perks for children so I'm all for it. PNA stationers recently shared some great points as to the benefits of crafting which I’ve shared on my blog. PNA have also come up with various crafts for kids to do at home with their parents/carers, and to make it easy a quick scan of the QR Code attached to the activity will pull up the shopping list/requirements for the projects. It couldn't be easier! Find the links to my blog post as well as the activity list in my bio #linkinbio

I have also teamed up with PNA to giveaway 2 x R250 vouchers! Yay!

Keeping the kids busy indoors over the last few we

Keeping the kids busy indoors over the last few weeks has been … interesting 😅🥴 Those of you in the same boat, how are you doing? 😑

One thing that kept them busy for a while was the most incredible MEGAConstruXHotWheels buildable sets 🚘 🚙 🚗

Mega Construx and Hot Wheels have joined forces by combining Hot Wheels® models and Mega Construx™ building sets for endless customisation possibilities.

Aidan would usually be “protective” 😅 over his new toys but with this one he needed his sisters help to construct and customise his wheels.

The construction set features the authentically rad Rally Cat, Dawgzilla, Night Shifter and Mod Rod plus 4 possible micro action figures to take the driver’s seat.
The buildable Hot Wheels construction set includes the classic Rodger Dodger racer and Hot Wheels Racing monster truck. The kids could also combine the included bricks and pieces from both vehicles, with any Mega Construx building set, to build their own custom cars.
I’ve added a link in my bio where you can check out the full range

It’s been such a scary and heartbreaking week in

It’s been such a scary and heartbreaking week in 🇿🇦. Its actually surreal. My heart goes out to everyone affected in KZN and Gauteng 🙏 Praying and praying that the days ahead will be lighter.

I am going to switch off the news for a bit and dive into another DIY Upcycle this weekend to keep busy and hoping it turns out as great as this table did last week 🙌♻️ It’s a lot less complicated but I think the end result is going to be epic if all goes well.

Keep safe everyone x

Today is the day 🙈 just about to start tiling for the very first time in my life 😬 so wish me luck!

We are super chuffed with how our painted tiles came out though! Can’t wait to see it all come together on the table.

Hopefully I can share the final reveal this weekend 👏
