It’s going to be a busy, fun and colourful weekend with St Patrick’s Day and Mother’s Day on the same weekend, but I won’t be complaining. It just means that I need to be a little more organised and do some advanced planning 
I like to do things that are easy and fun but a bit out of the ordinary and so have been hunting for fun things to do with the kids in the lead up to Mother’s Day. I found some brilliant inspirational idea’s from howdoesshe.com (see links for the tutorials) – These ladies are amazing! These activities involve a little more DIY than normal but there are ways around that

I also love the family blocks (idea # 8) and the photo puzzles (idea # 10) that How Does She? makes in the post “10 Things To Do With A Block”. See the link for the tutorial
