    Easter Egg Rocky Road

    If your kids are anything like mine, they don't actually like to eat their Easter eggs. Gathering and counting, yep. Eating, nope. Last year I turned to the old trick of using up Easter eggs to make rocky road, and boy oh boy was it a good decision! The monotony of egg after egg is broken up by bites of flavoursome goodness.

    Ideas for celebrating New Years at home with kids

    With younger children, sometimes we just have to admit that a night out at the fireworks for New Year's Eve isn't going to work. There's no fun in cranky, tired children thrown in amongst huge crowds!! It's more than ok to stay home and celebrate instead! But that doesn't mean you can't have some fun! Here are some ideas that we'll be using to make our celebrations special and fun.

    Christmas Time: Reindeer Food

    A sprinkle of magic Reindeer Food on Christmas Eve is guaranteed to help Santa and his reindeer find your house to deliver presents! While you can buy some in shops now, it's not always animal friendly (please, don't use glitter!!), and it's so easy to make some yourself instead. Whip some of this up and be sure to sprinkle it on the lawn before bedtime on Christmas Eve.
