My kids hate going on road trips. Actually, since my second child was born I’ve actively avoided going anywhere further than an hour away, it was just to stressful, too unpleasant. She wanted to scream and fight her way out of the car and I figured I’d rather stay at home. But then fate (or crazy ideas that I have on a Saturday night) threw a bit of a spanner in the works and suddenly we were forced into making long road trips with the kids. Lots of long road trips with them. See, we decided to sell our place here in Essex and move to the other side of the country to Cornwall, which is great and fun and exciting and oh my days that is one looong journey. So we had to take the kids on a six hour journey to see the place before we moved there. And we have to view properties. And actually move. And then come back from the west coast to the east because all our family still live back here and there’s no flights and the nearest train station is 25 miles away so that isn’t going to work either. So these are my very best tips for travelling with kids in the car, because this is something that I’ve really had to work on and if you have any tips I’d really appreciate it if you could pop them in the comments section below!
DIY Monogram Applique
I was really excited to be asked by Harveys if I’d like to work with them on their Spring By You campaign. My home is a mixture of things I’ve bought, things I’ve made and things that I’ve done up (plus all the kids stuff!) and I love to try and be a bit creative around our home where I can. Spring is the perfect excuse to get your home how you want it and today I’m sharing a tutorial for a simple DIY monogram applique that I made for my daughters room.

With it being bank holiday weekend I was really looking forward to getting outdoors with the kids. But the weather report? Ugh. Typical British bank holiday. With my youngest a bit poorly I didn’t want to risk her getting worse so I needed to plan something fun for indoors, I didn’t want the weather to ruin our plans for green fingered fun though so between me and my son we came up with this plan to make some plant pots out of toys, don’t they look fun?! We were inspired after looking though Crops In Pots that I picked up last week in Waterstones and so not only are these planters fun, but they’re also a cool little way to get your kids involved in growing crops too!
