Hello, I’m Kate, mum of two and maker of things for kids and grown ups.
I like singing badly, embarrassing my kids with my dancing (preferably on the school run) and sitting on the beach eating ice creams. My son is twelve (born December 2010) and his younger sister is nine year old (born October 2013) who only wears dresses because she is a Queen and suffer the fool who thinks she’s *only* a princess. There are loads of activities on this site that I’ve done with them over the years so expect to see lots of cute pictures of them as toddlers and preschoolers. We live in Cornwall, England having relocated from Southend in 2016.
New here? These are some of my favourite posts that you might like!

Each year I round up some of the activities I’ve done with my daughter (ahem, but not my son as I didn’t think of that at the time) This one of activities for two year olds is one of my favourites.
The smallest took forever to get teeth and refused puree. Here’s 40 things she could eat before she got teeth.
Some cool things about Crafts on Sea:

I’ve attended Downing Street with Mumsnet and Railway Children to discuss the issues faced by young people running away from home
