Feeling Better with a fab find

Hello and sorry for my quietness. We have been sick as dogs a horrendous Norovirus. I will save you from all the gory details you can imagine the worst and you would be right.

It truly is something else being so sick and having to look after a very sick little one too. Thank goodness it was a quick nasty one. Rex and I are on the mend and time to enjoy a find from just before we were sick. Yehah! and giddy up. Rex loves this fab 1950's homemade rocking horse we found in a charity shop.

Home made maracas

One of my new resolutions is to re-use and recycle and turn the boring into the fantastic. So with that in mind i decided to make Rex some home made maracas using some empty plastic bottles. I filled one with macaroni and one with rice. Rex loves touching and feeling everything so for decoration with a purpose i stuck on some velcro dots and squares. Rex loves them and so easy to make they entertained him for all of 5 mins a day. Make sure unlike me that you glue the screw lid shut otherwise like Rex your little one will start snacking on and distributing rice and macaroni round the house.
