Save all your kisses for me

I was looking through our photos and I realised we take A LOT of us kissing. This is a special time in the boys little lives where kissing on the lips is perfectly normal. At some point the innocence of kissing your closest family on the lips will change and I treasure this time when they are so sweet and naive.

I realised we have never filled this frame our best friends gave us as I have never found quite the right collection of photographs.

Then I found this inspiration and raided my lipstick draw!

For anyone who thinks playing with make up is just for mothers with daughters think again.

Kissing is a big thing in our house. "All together kisses" where all four of us have to kiss at the same time!

For the boys the noisier and more dramatic the better, cue loud mwah's!

A personalised and unique gift for my husband from his family. Why not make one of your own?! I'm thinking of making some bunting with the leftover pages of kisses!

I think the fun part was reapplication! More clown than classic lipstick advert material.

DIY Love Heart Crayons

Looking for an easy Valentine's gift that lasts longer than a box of chocolates? Then you have stumbled across the right page.

All you need is some old crayons, a microwave and some cute moulds.

Cupid's Crayons

Remember my wish list? Well I made an offer and the moulds were mine!

I wanted to make the boys a sweet gift for Valentines - after all what woman in the world loves them more than I do?! (Yikes I hope I don't become a "no woman will be good enough for my boys" kind of Mother in Law!)

Cupid's Crayons

Melt some old crayons in the microwave and use a throw away plastic spoon to pour in one spoonful of the melted wax into each mould.

They set in less than a minute so it is easy to make a batch of 5 different colours in almost as many minutes.

Such a simple idea but so effective!

I will have to stop Ollie eating them, as they look just like the sweets!

Are you feeling the love for Valentine's Day? After my Grandpa died I always sent my Granny a Valentine's card and do you know what, she treasured them, as I have found them in a memory box!

POP! Valentine Balloon Burst
Valentines-Balloon-Burst-8.jpg

W e have made little Valentines Rock Gift for the girlies at preschool but there is one little one who is Sammy's true sweetheart!

He genuinely believes they are going to get married - adorable!

So we made some extra special.

You will need:

A balloon, paper of your choice - we used an old guitar sheet music I found in a charity shop, a hole punch - I used my heart one, card and string for your tag (balloon stick optional).

Take you punch and get snipping! The more confetti you make the better! Fill your balloon with a handful, blow it up and give it to your sweetheart to pop!
