Keeping your kids entertained during traveling can be the difference between a quiet car trip and hell. And if you haven’t figured a way yet, how about trying this DIY travel toy in form of miniature magnetic breakfast?
Miniature Paper Handbag
I have two girls at home just at the age when they like all those little things that we adults consider dust-catchers and generally ask Why have this? And they also like making these little things for their friend. And this miniature handbag from paper – I should rather say handbags – are great gifts. …
Healthy Snack
Eating healthy is so important…almost every child knows that. And then try to give that child a piece of red pepper and tomato when they’ve been introduced to wonders like waffles and biscuits. Sometimes I made healthy alternatives to puddings and sweet yoghurts – no added sugar, no wannabe-healthy syrups. Our healthy snack is ready …
Natural Honey Lip Balm
If there’s one lip balm I’d love to eat it’s this one. It’s scent is so beautiful that I just have to smell the balm every time I’m going to use it and I don’t seem to get tired of it. If you like the smell of honey, too, and if you want a lip …
Homemade Oat Make-up Remover with Rose Water
I often don’t have time to use any make-up and when it comes to taking it off, there’s even less time. And I’m not even speaking about the whole evening skincare, with my kids I basically don’t have much of an evening skincare routine and if I try to have some, there’s usually one kid …
Rosehip Box
Did you have a box for your personal treasures? I had several and I kept precious things in them like my first cinema ticket, pebbles from our first trip to the beach and other things that remind me of my childhood today. My older daughter is in that age when she starts liking cute boxes …
Homemade Ointment for Dry Chapped Heels
I really like winter but it brings a few skin inconveniences. Unless you belong to the lucky few, you probably know what I’m talking about when I say words like “chapped”, “scaly” and “heels”. Basically nothing worked for me (unless you count waiting for spring to come) until I started mixing this ointment for dry …
Knickers Embroidery
Why embroider knickers, you ask? Why not, I say! Besides being quite a funny project the knickers embroidery can also be a great gift. You can embroider a cushion a shopping bag…or even use it as an applique for a t-shirt.
Recycled Snowflakes
Recycled snowflakes are one of my very favorite Christmas decorations. They’re easy to make and we have lots of fund making them with the kids.
Spanish Churros with Chocolate
They say the humanity has become quite a bit heavier during the spring lockdown. I guess it won´t be any better in winter but if you’ve had your kids at home from school for almost a year now your nerves probably need some taking care of. And so forget about a swimsuit body and rather …
Bloody Valentine Cake
Sometimes, when the st. Valentine’s Day is close and I see all those hearts, chocolate pralines and pink things around I feel like making a little fun of it. And sometimes I see it through and do something “different”. Last year’s also very bloody Valentine cake was a great success in that department and this …
Candy Glass
Candy glass is a great decoration for cakes and muffins and it’s fun and easy to make!
Tempered Chocolate – How to Make It at Home
Tempered chocolate is shiny and smooth, it breaks with a light snap and melts in your mouth. You can temper chocolate easily at home and I’ll show you how.
DIY Roll-up Pencil Case
My kids must be eating their color pencils. Or that or I really don’t know where they’re constantly disappearing. I gave it another chance last Christmas and I made each of my girls a roll-up pencil case.
Clear 3D Face Mask
I made this clear 3D face mask thanks to my daughter who has developmental language disorder (DLD). It means that even though she is a normally inteligent girl, she has troubles understanding languages, even her native one. Sometimes she needs to look at our face to understand us. That is not a problem at home …
Last moment costume: SPIDER
I underestimated the preparation for the previous carnival season. In my defense, it was the first time I had to tackle three costumes instead of two. Fortunatelly, my youngest didn’t really care about what he was going to wear and so I didn’t need to feel bad for choosing the spider costume as a last …
Homemade Rose and Lemon Balm Shampoo
If the title length allowed it, this homemade rose and lemon balm shampoo would be called “Absolutely awesome rose-lemon balm shampoo that’s better than anything else you’ve ever bought in a store”. Yes, it’s that great.
Butterfly Costume
The last carnivale season was in the name of insect costumes. If you’ve been on this blog before, you probably know that I have been making my children’s costumes myself. Check out also my spider costume that came out together with the two butterfly costumes for our girls.
Facial Butter for Winter
When my youngest was born I gave myselft three presents: a drier to prevent getting crazy from all the laundry, a person to help me clean the house and regular visits to the salon where a very brave lady does the sisyphus job of trying to fight the aging process and prevent me from developing …
