Have you ever wondered what you can do with conkers, apart from actually playing conkers?I'm guessing your answer is probably no that one. Me neither, until we went to the park last week and came home with about a million of them!We had lots of fun kicking up leaves and collecting conkers - so much fun that I didn't realise just how many we had until we got home and emptied our pockets.

Beating the back to school blues….
After a Summer filled with adventures and family fun I hate the thought that it's over already although as I do every September, I welcome the return of some sort of routine in our lives.I don't know about your family but last year seemed as though the start of September brought with it a change in the kids, they went from being filled with energy and wanting to be outside as much as possible to just wanting to stay in and watch TV or play on the XBox when they got home from school. It wasn't just them though, a similar thing happened to me as well and looking back, I think I felt as … [Read more...]

Well, another week's flown by hasn't it! There's not long left until they're back at school so we're busy packing as much fun as possible in. I loved last week's guest post from Jen as her five free things to do this Summer were completely different to what I would have thought about doing so I've asked another great blogger to share her ideas to see if I can get some more inspiration!Over to you Angela....I’m Angela and I blog at The Life of Spicers. I have a 7 year old daughter (and also a grown up one). The Summer Holidays don’t have to cost a fortune; there are plenty of ideas … [Read more...]
