Cutting snowflakes from paper is FUN!

When I was a kid we used to cut out snowflakes from paper and decorate the house with them. Oh wait! not just paper, we used foil too. Foil snowflakes looked really cool, all shiny. You can also decorate them in glitter of all colors :) Just what ever your imagination wants to.
Here is a sample, a template of a few to give an idea, so cut away with your kids, experiment is fun- what will come out? :))

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 

Не рекомендую!

Сегодня с дочками ходили в литовский магазин закупить сырков. И иногда мы берем кукурузные палочки. И вот сегодня мы увидели пачку с картинкой из мультика "Маша и Медведь", и конечно же куча возгласов:" мама, мама купи!". Купила. Пришли домой, открыли, и оооо кошмар! Запах типа технического масла в нос ударил, меня аж затошнило :(
Больше мы такую гадость покупать не будем и другим не рекомендую!
BEWARE!

Oh no!

Oh No!
Lots and lots of tears. Girl's pet- the gold fish had died :(
K asked:' mama what the fish is doing?' I looked and saw it with it's head stuck in a filter. The protective pipe had slid out of it and the fish got in and I guess suffocated.
  So I put it in the fridge for the night and we will bury it tomorrow. Very sad, sad indeed :'(
 I'm thinking may be tomorrow after school ask them if they would like to buy a new fish? Or it's too early? Does anyone have experience with dead pets? How did you go about it?

We love Pukka Teas

We love Pukka Teas!
   My 6 year old never fancied any teas. She would try but never drink any of them until she tried Pukka's Night Time tea. Now she asks for it every evening before bed. And I love it so much, it so lovely and cosy siting with my girl on a sofa watching bed time cartoon and drinking warm tea on this cold evenings :)  I don't know if it's valeriana in it or what, but she seems to sleep better too.

ingredients

Oat flower (30%), licorice root, chamomile flower, lavender flower (14%), lime flower (10%), valerian root, tulsi leaf.   Another reason I like these teas is, they are sweet enough that i don't even put honey to sweeten it.

So I thought to share the pages with you where you can get some free samples of Pukka Teas.
 You can order them via:
