Introduction to my blog Kids can be crafty …but parents have to be craftier!
It’s funny, I just wanted to get myself some respite on a very
wet Sunday afternoon from my 5 year old yelling …. “Mum I’m sooooo BORED what
can we do today!!??” It had been said
that much already it was now stuck in my head going round and round like a broken record.
Until…
light bulb moment!! “CRAFTS” I yell back.
Hmmm I know…It seemed like a great idea at the time. I mean really! How hard could it be?! Oh boy I just didn’t have a clue. Not one
little clue as to the can of worms I had just opened
Suddenly I’m on the spot as my five year old jumps up and down excitedly saying "Ooooh great what are we going to make Mum?”
and wham with those 6 little words the panic!!! set in. 
Oh God!! That's a good question. Never saw that one coming (I’m
convinced I’m still suffering from Baby Brain) why didn’t I think of that? Help what
do I do now? Where do I turn? What can
we make? What do I need? A thousand questions all at once and no solution to a
very immediate problem. How to please a
five year old with crafts?
So I learned a very valuable lesson that day. Be prepared,
and if you can’t be prepared, let someone else do it for you! and that Ladies and Gentelman is what my blog
is all about. It will take the S out of that stress by teaching parents how to become
craftier than their kids.
I hope you enjoy it. I’m sure it will bring a lot of fun
and laughter and not to mention a hughe amount of mess to your home.

say …MUUUUMMMMM!!)
P.S:
My
Thought for today:
Being a parent is the hardest job I have ever done (and I’ve
had a few) and the most rewarding. There is no job description or instruction
manual on the right way to do things. It
is really just about being creative in a digital age while being fuelled by regular
top-ups of coffee. So go on go out there and grab life by the obstacles and try
something new. It helps keep us sane in
all this rain.
