I hinted some time ago that I was ‘working on’ ways of securing some new and imaginative arts and crafts workshops for kids in Limerick – age 3 to 13yrs. Well I just got word today that funding has been approved from The Heritage Council for the next six months so we can now make [&hellip
I am looking to invite new Irish schools to join the Become A Friend programme (I try to welcome two or three new schools each year) – would you and your fellow teachers be interested in joining ?? The nine Kenyan schools in our programme are all traditional maasai ‘bush’ schools, the first time these [&hellip
I have fallen head over heels for ‘everything’ in this Finnish fairy tale web shop Tinttu – from hats to outdoor clothes, bumble bees, owls, foxes and trolls are all catered for! How utterly adorable is the velour fox jumpsuit :)
As cute as cute can be It’s hard to pick a favourite part but I think it’s gotta be Cummulus blowdrying her hair :)
Meet Raines, a gorgeous little masai girl I met in northern Kenya when I visited her nursery school and community last March as part of the Become A Friend team. Raines captured my heart on the first day of my trip and from that moment on became an important part of our family. She was [&hellip
After spending a self indulgent morning sulking when “a certain someone” didn’t even wish me happy mother’s day I decided to “grow up”, thinking instead of how blessed I am to be a mother in the first place. Seven years ago I was in a very different place, preparing myself for a very different reality. [&hellip
Quick and simple is all we can manage this week, and these quick little thumbprint cuties went in today’s post to a special {god}mother and {grand}mother.

Between the sneezes and coughs this morning we managed to fumble together our Leprechaun Trap for Saturday. We struck out last year, but we’re feeling lucky this year. We did our research and apparently Leprechauns can’t resist a bargain :) Paint Chip Rainbow roof, Toilet Roll Tulips and Craft Stick Rope Ladder – more photos [&hellip
Hello friends – the lights have been off in Mollyland for the past week – we’ve been as sick as a small hospital. Molly with Scarlet Fever and Mommy with “full on” influenza and a chest infection. We hurt everywhere :( I don’t remember being this ill ever and it was soooo tough caring for [&hellip
Talk of Mother’s Day has registered with my Little Miss for the first time, and she’s NOT having it! Henceforth she has insisted it be rebranded as Mother & Molly’s Day – “a much more better idea”. To seal the deal she presented me with this little miniature drawing of the two of us, curly [&hellip
St Patrick’s Day cuteness overload :) Leprechaun gluing, drawing & writing craft via First Grade Parade
The Handbag Hen I made at last Sunday’s workshop was such a huge hit with Little Miss I decided to make some mini ones that she and I could papier-mache and decorate together. I cut and shaped the hens lastnight so that they were ready for action this afternoon (note to self… don’t buy the [&hellip
A simple 5 minute craft to brighten up everyone’s day – all you need are some paper plates, mini cupcake liners, buttons and some paint. For the stems we just rolled up A4 sheets of paper, stapled them closed and painted. Molly gave each flower a little spritz of daddy’s aftershave when they were finished [&hellip
