Making Play Doh

Quick play doh recipe 

What you need :- 

• 2 cups plain flour (all purpose)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup salt
• 2 tablespoons cream of tartar
• Up to 1.5 cups boiling water (adding in increments until it feels just right)
• food colouring (optional)
• few drops glycerine (optional- adds more shine!)

Method:

• Mix the flour, salt, cream of tartar and oil in a large mixing bowl
• Add the boiling water
• Stir continuously until it becomes a sticky, combined dough
• Add the food colouring and glycerine (both optional)
• Allow it to cool down then take it out of the bowl and knead it vigorously for a couple of minutes until all of the stickiness has gone. * This is the most important part of the process, so keep at it until it’s the perfect consistency!*
• (If it remains a little sticky then add a touch more flour until just right)

You can store this play dough in an air tight container for at least 6 months. If you live in a humid climate you might need to store it in the fridge and out of sunlight.

Enjoy with your child(ren)

Radical Reward Chart

We've been asked to Review 'Radical Reward Chart'

I thought this would be a great idea with my Daughter as she's potty training & so far this is helping her to remember to go to the toilet we've had less 'accidents'.

My daughter likes to see the picture of herself moving up the chart so when she reaches a goal she gets a prize or she gets to do something special (you don't need to reward with anything expensive)

There are six designs to choose from £14  each which includes delivery. 

You can choose between a carrot counter or a picture of your child which you send them & they laminate your picture & send with the reward chart. 

There is a 20 step goal to reach which you can decide which number goal they need to reach before getting a prize or gift whatever the reward. 

I definitely recommend you go & have a look at Radical Reward Charts they are on Facebook & Twitter, they also have a Blog you can go over to and take a look. 

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all you yummy mummies out there! !

All the children was excited, they went off with their dad yesterday afternoon to wrap their pressies & write their cards.
I could hear them all giggling and stomping across the landing upstairs to hide their gifts for me.


Melts my heart to hear them excited & talking to each other about mummy opening them in the morning.

My son aged 3 yr came downstairs and said "Mummy you don't know where I've put your cup. Do you?" Hehe made me have a chuckle to myself.

I was woken this morning by my eldest two who bought me a cup of tea & breakfast in bed.
After going downstairs I was showered in cards & pressies.
Their little faces lit up with excitement as I open each present & card. "Mummy do you like it?"

I'm such a lucky mum to have six amazing children who are my whole world & they make it go round.

I'm so proud to be a mum :)

I hope you had a lovely Mother's Day with lots of love & laughter along the day.
