Jubilee baking
I know, I know, there’s enough Jubilee related posts flying round at the moment, but I thought I’d jump on the bandwagon too! At the beginning of the month, Grace’s school held a Jubilee celebration. It was great fun, with children from all the classes taking part in dancing, singing, parades and much more. There...
What’s in your lunch box?
Now Grace has settled well into Year 2 and I’ve got over the shock realisation that this is her last year in Key Stage 1, I’m back into the swing of making lunch boxes for her. I really quite like the challenge of thinking up new ideas but not the panic and scramble on a...
September Bake It! – Back to School
After a little break while I switched over to this new blog, the monthly Bake It! Club is back! Thank you to those of you who contacted me to ask if I was going to continue with it – I wasn’t sure if it was worth carrying on with, but even if just a couple...
School Quilt
A while back I wrote about the squares that each of the children in Grace’s school were sewing as part of their royal wedding celebrations. They all worked really hard and produced some really beautifully sewn squares. As I I came home with a box full of them a few weeks back, I was slightly...
Royal Wedding – celebrations and cupcakes
I’m guessing some of you won’t even look at this blog post due to the fact it has ‘Royal Wedding’ in the title – but I am quite enjoying all the celebrations and excitement that surround the upcoming wedding! It has been made even more fun by the fact that I have spent a lot...
Sewing in school
A few weeks ago I was really pleased to be asked by the Year 2 teachers at Grace’s school if I would go in and do some cake decorating demos. The whole school are holding a tea party to celebrate the royal wedding and the Year 2s are making cupcakes for every child in the...
Back to school: Lunch boxes
I wish the lunch boxes I sent off to school with Grace were as exciting as the one above, but sadly mine are a bit more basic! However, I do try very hard to make them varied and as healthy as I can, although I personally don’t think there’s anything wrong with a little treat...
Back to School: Uniform
Grace started school last year so we excitedly bought loads of school uniform from M&S. The tops, cardigan and skirts were great and hardly show any wear – in fact Grace can easily wear them again this year. However, I was really not impressed with the trousers and pinafore, which washed really badly and shrank...
Back to School: New Shoes
As Grace now moves up into Year 1, luckily I have managed to reuse a lot of the school uniform from last year. All her skirts, pinafore dresses and cardigans still fit fine as does her P.E. kit. I just need to get some white tops and trousers. The one thing, and unfortunately the most...
