About being a mom.. and how to make that easier!

Sometimes, for instance while riding a bus or train, my pre-schooler asks me for a story. I always get stuck on my own version of Snow White. Not because I lack imagination, but that’s just the first thing that comes to mind.
That’s why I love these Story Telling Cards by Eeboo so much. Just pick [...]

I’m always on the look-out for cute and funcional lunchtime items. And this handy fork with cute casing definitely comes to mind when making a wishlist of all things I’d like to put in my 4YO lunchbag! It would make eating her daily fruit salad even nicer AND keeps her bag a little cleaner afterwards.
It [...]

Cute birdy bookmark which gently grips itself to pages for a better hold - and a free download too!
There’s no escape: autumn has come upon us. No crying over losing summer (as there still might be hot and sunny days ahead), but instead let’s celebrate all things you can do in autumn! Like: long [...]

I must admit, I’m sort of a lazy mom. I’m can’t set myself to make cute bento lunchboxes, but I do want to make my 4 year old be happily surprised when she opens up her lunchbox.
That’s why I love these mini lunchbox notes: just make a peanutbutter sandwich, toss in a mini-cheese and a [...]

Love these vintage colouring plates! Found them on the amazing blog ‘Agence Eureka’. This blog is filled with a huge collection of vintage bookplates, colouring plates, illustrations, magazines, ads etc.
It’s in French, but the images speak for themselves. And there are so many of them, too!

A little tip: go here to Agence Eurekas Blog. Then [...]

Summer holidays: it’s great once you’ve reached your destination, but the roadtrip can sometimes be tricky…
We went to France, by car. It was a 8 hour drive, with two kids ( a 4 year old and a 1 year old). Thankfully, it wasn’t too hot. And we prepared very well: we had a great travel [...]

A little while ago I posted a craft project for DIY I Spy Bottles. I made two! For Lena I made a fairytale themed I Spy Bottle, containing a single shoe, a crown, Snow White, a pink heart, a golden coin, a real pearl and so on. I put them in a big bottle and [...]

…and yes, they actually work! Just balance them, by the head, on the top of your finger, and these butterflies will look like they’ll fly away any moment.
I love the fact that you can make them yourself with a piece of paper and two coins. It’s a perfect craft to do with your kids, and [...]

Stitchable stationery - well, why not? Just kidding, I love these embroidery cards by Jenny Hart! They’re a great way of learning kids how to use needle and thread. And the result is bound to be cute, so it’s very rewarding too
These ready-to-embroider folded cards become mini works of art when stitched—simply follow [...]

The day before yesterday I posted a blog on these supercute I Spy Bags. Like I told you before: I’m too late to buy one online, and I’m a no good crafty girl (can’t sew, can’t knit, can’t build a closet) so I thought up a little plan. I searched the web a little further [...]
