I have stolen this idea from English Mum, but it’s OK, we are currently negotiating a schedule for ‘Payment in Kind’.
This is a selection of things the Driver’s are enjoying this month. Some have been sent to us courtesy of the blog, some haven’t.
Jo Thorpe Mosaic – When I met up with the lovely Kerry in Florida she had a fabulous scrabble piece pendant. Turns out her friend, Jo, is rather clever and makes them, amongst other fabulous things. Check out her decorative work … just beautiful. I bought myself and my Facebook Wife one too (£8 each). Our love of scrabble helped us through some tough times. Jo Thorpe offers mosaic course across East London. (The pendant site is here).
Alice in Wonderland (On Blue-ray) - This arrived whilst we were on holiday in Italy and was the perfect distraction from the holiday blues when we got back. Completely whacky, very funny and Helena Bonham Carter is superb once again. Definitely worth a watch, the kids certainly thought so.
Sigg Aluminium Bottles – Hardwearing, eco-friendly and great designs that go in the dishwasher. The 4 year old launched across the room to have first dibs on the large Spongebob Square Pants bottle. This left the 5 year old with the 2 smaller ones … and no arguments, which makes a change. Unlike the plastic, cheaper versions we’ve had over the years, they don’t leak.
A Lightsaber – Before I left for my Seaworld trip the 4 year old told me that all he wanted me to bring back was a lightsaber. Cue to me racing round the Florida Mall like a demented loon. I came across a small Toys R Us, ran up to one of the staff and asked if she had a lightsaber. She took me to them, I told her I could hug her. After the look she gave me I then added a disclaimer of “… but I won’t”. I was crowned mother of the year when I returned and he still sleeps with it.
Clan Covers from Twisted Twee. Romance isn’t dead. The Husband bought me one for Mother’s Day and I bought him one for Father’s Day. Egyptian cotton don’t you know. They do loads of other fab stuff too. Check out the party bunting, ’tis genius.
