I have been stepping up my craft game - and by stepping up I mean actually doing some LOL. The other night after Dylan had gone to bed, I stayed up (too late!) to make some dividers for an A5 Love Doki planner I got. I have been thinking of what to do for next year as this year I have been using a happy planner and that cannot be refilled... The original plan was to do a bullet journal, and I figured that when life gets a bit too hectic a bujo may not be used to its full potential - so my personal sized Love Doki got some new WH Smiths inserts as a back up. Just in case. Some people might wonder what on earth I could possibly put in a planner seeing as I'm just a stay at home mum in the week and at the weekend I just work in a shop... But I essentially have a household to run, and a work rota to keep on top of, and believe me - if I have a bad week and I don't fill anything in, then both myself and Dylan can stay in our jammies for a couple of days at home (in my defence, I was also not feeling too good).
I was so pleased with how my dividers came out, some ladies in a planner group I belong to asked where I was selling them lol!
Dylan also decided that he wanted to be Catboy from PJ Masks. He's absolutely Mario mad at the moment, and often tells me that he's Mario and I'm Princess Peach and then we continue what we are doing but I have to refer to him as Mario :) But for a few days I was Night Ninja (with lots of sticky splats!) and he asked if we could make a catboy mask for him and he wanted me to have an Owlette one too, so I picked up enough foam for all 3 PJ Masks just in case he wanted to be Gecko instead - the joys of toddlers!
I ran out of hot glue sticks so only Catboy has been completed, but he loves it, even if he has picked at it and broken it a bit so it needs to be fixed! (Again, joy of toddlers lol!)
We decided to have a fairly quiet day, I was feeling less than great, so we had a PJ day. We built a fort and cuddled up with blankets and cushions in there (my legs were outside the side hole because I couldn't fit in completely) we watched some telly, we read books, we cuddled up and played his DS. Later on that day I remembered I still hadn't seen the Justin Timberlake concert on Netflix so we put it on and danced (I wasn't particularly concerned about bad words during songs) took a short break for bath time and cuddled up on the sofa to finish it off. It was one of my favourite days - one that I know I will look back on and remember fondly :)
It seems to be getting colder, our heating was put on the other week, and something my mum used to do for us when we were little was to get 2 Cadbury mini rolls in a bowl and cover them in custard... YUMMY! The custard would melt the chocolate and was a lovely warming treat. We had no mini rolls - not even the Tesco ones we buy - but I did have some tesco cake bars and they did the trick nicely ;) I have got to make some chocolate crumble/chocolate concrete sometime soon, but today after I got home from work and cooked our tea, both me and Dylan made M&M cookies. ^_^
