Magic Wands

Hiya!!

I know times are hard and it's been very stressful especially now where we are in the unknown. 

They've been thrown into this weird surreal world and with Z having breakdowns so I decided to make 'Magic Worry Wands'

These wands are so simple to make and are so cheap! 

What you need:

-  Colour Card or Foam

-  Wooden Stick (We used clean wooden skewers left over from a BBQ) 

-  Any sparkly bits you find lying around

-  Stickers

-  Sticky Tape or PVA glue

-  G L I T T E R!!  (Because its just magic!)

1. Cut out Stars from your Coloured card or Foam

2. LET THE KIDS GET CREATIVE!! It will get messy but its their wands 

3. Attach the wooden stick to the star with tape or glue

ALL DONE!!

Z & M Worry Wands

After the boys made their wands I told them they had to put the magic in it..

Hold your wands to your heart, draw 5 circles around your chest..

Put your wands up towards the sky and spin around 

Place the wand on your forehead and whisper..

No more worries for me today; I just want to play!

They laughed but then they started sprinkling their magic on each other and was playing magic wands. I don't know if it worked but it was the only way i could get Z to stop being anxious especially when it came to school. He gets very upset when you talk about school because he feels that he will be forgotten.

I hope this helps some people

In The Night Garden Live - Blackheath

Hiya!

Z had a teacher's training day recently and as a treat we took him to see In The Night Garden Live! I booked tickets for the earliest showing at 10am for The Ninky Nonk show but that was the wrong choice because the night before he got so excited he wouldn't sleep until 2am!! The latest his ever been awake!

Anyways we got there and Z was super duper excited! Getting to Blackheath was easy but there was a bit of traffic especially where the round about was but it okay after that. 

The had clear signs showing the entrance and exit and they had staff members stationed inside the parking area to show you where to park.

They had large banners which you could use to take pictures of your child with.

Inside the tent the staff was so friendly and made Z feel so special. He loved them! I was surprised to see how busy it was especially for a Friday morning but watching the children and parents get excited was so cute.

The set layout was very intimate and even though we was 7 seats behind we could see every character clearly and the seating was wide enough to place your child in front of you if they were younger.

The show was about 1hr long and halfway through Z became restless but he stuck it out until the very end. I only found fault with the Windmills as I sat next to a little girl who kept waving it close to my face and they do hurt. Her parent's did eventually move her in between them after S said something.

It was a good show but I don't recommend it to under 4s as it is very long but being able to see the characters come to life was so fun and the show is so vibrant. Its definitely a show to be seen!

TESCO F&F Haul

As a mother I am forever looking for clothing for my ever growing monkey and I honestly think that there is no point in spending a lot of money on just one piece of item especially when they will only wear it for a couple of months at most.

Z was born a day before his due date and didn't fit any of his new born clothes so my wonderful sister went and got him premature clothing which fit him for a week after that he went from 0-3 months to 6-9 months! He skipped 3-6 months clothing and returning all of the gifts was the longest thing I had to do as I had to return 6 bags of clothing from different shops because he just didn't fit them due to his height.

But enough of that I walked passed F&F in Tesco's and remembered that my son will be having a Christmas party tomorrow and the dress code was a Christmas jumper. I went looking for one but all they had left was baby sized ones! DUM DUM DUM... so I looked at the sale racks and found some amazing bargains.

All of the sizes I picked were 4-5 year old because Z is so tall. He wears size 11 shoes and his only 3! 

Grey George Pig Jumper - £4.50 (previous price £9) || Blue Long Sleeve George Pig Top - £2.50 (previous price £6)

Z loves Peppa Pig so for the price I had to get them especially when they are so cute! I love the comic book top because its so detailed.

Blue and Red Jogging Bottoms £2 Each (previous price £6)

The colours of these jogging bottoms are so bright but I thought for £2 he can lounge around at home with them. 

Frozen Olaf Long Sleeve Top £2 (previous price £5)

I love the phrase 'Hanging with my snowgies' but I hate the font. It looked as if someone stuck sellotape down.

In total I spent £13! Hope you find some bargains next time you're out and about and I would love for you to share it
