Cool Things To Do At Home (Thanks To You)

 

We’re all in the same boat (or at a least very similar one anyway) I need not expand. Thanks to social media, the “stay-at-home” situation is making said boat a bit of a whimsical one. This boat can sail around the world in a matter of a swipe, a scroll and a like (wow. Quarantine is taking it’s toll). Over the past couple of weeks, we couldn’t be more impressed with the resilience, the energy and the camaraderie of the mothers, the fathers, the brands and the kids themselves. From baking ‘crunchy buns’ to making butterfly wings, cookie monsters to Laura Jackson’s #makingamealofit, thanks to the ease of sharing little glimpses of ‘life at home’ with the rest of the world, we aren’t short of cool things to do at home. 

Here’s a few of our faves:

Colei um papel cenário ao longo da parede. Em cima de uma mesa vários pincéis , rolos e paletas com tintas. Não disse nada, não dei instruções. Foi terapêutico, relaxante, divertido e muito libertador. Adorei observá-los, principalmente o Alexandre que foi a primeira vez que pintou num superfície tão grande. . .

on monday’s we make ‘crunchy buns’ – a really nice activity to do with your babes if you’re laying low at home & also absolutely delicious!!! it’s also a really economical lunch, not many ingredients needed. the kids can add sultanas for fun when making them into shapes. we love to serve them with honey & cinnamon butter but savoury fillings are also super yummy! make it really special by lighting a candle, using your prettiest plates & have a tea party. a nice way to hold space for our kids who are counting on us to feel nourished & safe. recipe at the end (we usually halve it because the recipe is to feed a classroom, but you could always make a heap & drop some off to family & friends) – sleepy baby approved 🕯🍞🧈🍯

Watch how I make my Caramel Oranges 🍊♥️🍊 the full recipe is on my website. I am by no means very accomplished cook but when I have time I really enjoy it, I especially like cooking for others and illustrating the recipes. I have started to collect a file of them. Tatiana A 💋🥕🍊💖

toad is bad with numbers. ask him what any work truck is called and he has them all memorized, but for some reason past 5 he shorts out. we’ve been trying to make counting fun so i made this monster inspired by @7daysofplay . it’s made from a cardboard box i spray painted. i figured i’d share in case anyone has the same issue🤯😛🍪 he gets so excited by the game that he doesn’t overthink the counting. i think it’s working, and the girls just like to feed it and stick them back up

The simplest dinner of all time, but let’s not knock the legendary jacket potato with butter and cheese. I can count on one hand how many times we have eaten dinner as a family in the week. I am trying to see the positives in this current situation and one is spending this time with Sidney that ordinarily we wouldn’t get. When things resume we are going to look at the world so differently: for the better. Anyway, just a classic spud for dinner on a barely laid table, but still managed to #makeamealofit ❤️
