Bits and pieces









A rather wonky dress for Bella. Will do better next time! I had to add extra fabric to the bottom a few days later as it was too short.

Eating healthy food. I've replaced cows milk with soya now. Such a big difference. Less potatoes and meat too.

A not so healthy chocolate cake, although it did contain almonds instead of flour!

Much puddle jumping activity. Say no more....

Sam's latest obsession is with building lego robots online at herofactory.

Family drawing and maths session. Sam shares his teacher with the next year up and whilst Sam's class is doing workbook activities the older year are doing maths. Sam told us he finishes his work as quickly as possible so he can listen to the maths lesson. So Scott has been doing simple maths with Sam (Sam's request) in the evening.

  1. I think it looks lovely and I simply adore the fabric.

    I stopped dairy when Tabi was diagnosed as being allergic to it when little and to be honest I feel so much better - almond milk is one of our favourites as it makes everything taste just that little bit nutty rather than sweet like soya.

    Splendid bits and pieces,

  3. The dress is gorgeous. Well done - I couldn't make anything like that! I love the yellow sweater and welly combo, I love that shade of yellow at the moment.

    My mum and sister both drink oat milk and swear by it and definitely agree that less dairy is a good thing. x

  7. Sounds like Sam is a smart little cookie! After our weekend at the cabin I've been trying to clean up the menu and make it a bit healthier.
