I hope everyone has a lovely half term! We’re heading off on a last minute staycation so will be taking a break on regular posting. Normal service will resume on the 2nd March! ✨

✨Admittedly this was the first time we had ever made homemade pasta so I didn’t have high expectations! But it actually tasted pretty good & was really simple to make. Using just 2 ingredients, flour and egg! My girls helped with the mixing and kneading & went for the slightly less healthy option of a ham and cheese topping over my pesto, tomato and salad! 🥗 🧀

✨We created valentines pictures today! An easy low prep themed activity to keep them engaged after school. Simply fill a zip lock bag with water, secure it shut (we used tape over the top just to make sure it was sealed) then use the point of the bag to dip in the paint and on to the card! It makes a beautiful rose shape. 🌹 Draw on the stems then use glue and sparkles to decorate! Give it a go at home. ❤️
