Benefits

In an attempt to keep the kids happy and quiet I’ve found we spend at least an hour a day in the kitchen. If its not baking its another form of messy play or splashing about with the sink.

At best baking with kids is a stimulating and diverting screen free activity which encourages sensory development and aids knowledge of cause and effect, increases curiosity and is an all round brilliant way to enhance cognitive skills.

At worst its a really messy way to enjoy something yummy- so its win win

Welsh Cakes 😀😀😀 As we're back in Wales and haven't made any in months, Welsh cakes were definitely in order 😀 these are buttery, cakey Welsh cakes (as there's no excuse for a dry cake) and are great messy fun to make. We've tried to film a tutorial for #igtv but it's our classic chaotic mess. If I can trim it to 5 minutes I'll upload later on- in the meantime the link to the recipe is in the bio 😀

And we're back home! If a holiday can be measured in terms of amount of pure joy experienced by the kids then this will go down as the best holiday ever! If it's measured in how exhausted parents are by the end of the week then it's right up there too. We've loved our break but I have a jar of nutella and a couple of eggs with my name on it and can't wait to bake up a storm with my girls tomorrow after a much needed rest tonight 😴😴😴😴

Dairy Milk Oreo Brownies A cheeky throwback Thursday to these unbelievably yummy oreo brownies. We made a batch of brownies from the link in the bio, pouring the batter into a base if Oreos and topped with chunks of dairy milk oreo chocolate. Definitely one for the weekend 😀😀😀

Bit of midweek holiday spam! We're having a brilliant holiday @officialbutlins bumped into Trevor, a grounds keeper on site who offered to take our photos and conveniently had a box full of novelty sunglasses 🤔🤣🤣 hope your having a happy humpday ❤❤❤

Fudge 3 Ways! When you have over excited kids who can't sleep the night before a holiday, fudge making possibly not a great idea. 'Can we lick the beaters?'... ummm I'm not sure a dose of pure sugar at 6pm is a good idea but we're in holiday mode so why not 🤷 cut to me 3 hours later, lying on my 3 year olds bedroom floor trying to explain where electricity comes from 🤔🤔🤔 My husband heavily hinted that it might be nice to take some fudge on holiday this week so me and Luna whipped up a batch yesterday (recipe in bio). Once poured into the tray we sprinkled pistachios one one third, sultanas on another and left 1 third plain. These are a lovely treat to share with family and as there's 10 of us off to Butlins today I'm sure it'll get eaten up pretty quickly! Have a lush week 😀

🚨🚨SAD/LONG Post alert 🚨🚨 We lost my dad to cancer 6 years ago and since having kids of my own I've grieved in a very different way- mourning the loss of a grandad to my girls. I wrote a bit about it for @themotherloadhq last year and popped the link in comments if anyone wants a read. I was unsure whether or not to share anything at all today but I've recently started listening to a brilliant podcast @thegriefcast In which comedians talk openly about death and grief (sounds like a right downer I know) but it's so incredibly cathartic to hear people talk freely about things that you can 100% relate to but can't chat about because you don't really want to bring people down or it doesn't feel appropriate. If you've ever lost anyone I can't recommend this enough. I'm going to have my a little wallow then have a lovely day with my husband and girls. Have a great fathers day ❤❤❤xxx
