Finding the new in the everyday
My husband is on holiday this week as we were meant to be visiting family back in England. Although it became clear a while ago that wasn't going to happen, he kept his holiday from work all the same. As we can't go anywhere, we decided to have a break regardless and go camping...in our… Continue reading Day 126 – Camping at home
Let me just start by saying I did not think I could do this, at all. I thought I would end up sounding like a lame, middle-aged Uncle, trying to trick the kids he's cool. I was always very envious of anybody who could bust out a beat, and even I tried to follow along,… Continue reading Day 120 – Learnt to Beatbox
This isn't magic, and I haven't finally lost it - I used actual science to make an egg bounce. Whilst researching new things to do at home, I stumbled across a video that contained some cool science experiments to do with kids (just the right level) and picked out the bouncy egg as it seemed… Continue reading Day 118 – Made a bouncy egg

Let me start by saying this is as weird as it sounds. I stumbled upon laughter yoga in Frankfurt when I was searching for regular yoga classes a while back. Curious, but put off by the weirdness, I didn't give it a try. I'm happy I waited as doing a video at home was the… Continue reading Day 98 – Laughter Yoga
This was a short and sweet one that actually turned out to be more complicated than I thought! I've never been on a cruise ship, but I've been reliably informed that passengers can be treated to their towels shaped into a fancy animal, flower, or even a heart. So even though I won't be having… Continue reading Day 85 – Made a towel animal
I had no idea paper planes were able to do a loop de loop before my sister's partner challenged me to make one. I really thought he was winding me up until I curiously looked online, and there they were - hundreds of tutorials! Scrolling through Youtube I found there were a variety of different… Continue reading Day 78 – Loop de loop plane
