We all have a dream as parents, we want more for our children, we want to give them the childhood we often only dreamt about.
Louise and Jenni are two amazing Mum's who have made the choice to live each day child like, with excitement, passion, fun and Joy, And make this journey into parenthood joyous for our kids and ourselves.
I think that we as parents will be the ones who remember most of our kids childhood rather then them so it's even more important to make each day special and amazing.
Breaking down those social expectations we place upon ourselves and enjoy getting dirty, making a mess and enjoying getting to really know who our kids are.
I know when I am old those are the things I will probably cherish the most from my life.
Thank you Jenni and Louise for making it ok to be a fun Mum.
Louise & Jenni, best friends who live two streets away who met in antenatal class seven years ago. Both have two kids (boy and girl each – baby lotto!) and just love all things crafty! THEY love to have fun with the kids and inject the trials and tribulations that is often motherhood with some FUN!
Their aim for our kids to look back on their childhood and think “man we had fun!” So channel your inner crafter, photographer, cook, artist, decorator and designer and join us on the journey to being the funnest Mummy you can be!
Here is just one of their fabulous Ideas...
FROZEN INSPIRED PLAY DOUGH, LOVING IT
We all know kids love Frozen and my two are definitely not an exception! We’ve made slimy, stretchy Frozen Silly Putty, beautiful Frozen Snow Paint,a very pretty Frozen Snowflake Necklace, a sciencey Frozen Erupting Snow,a Frozen Elsa Ice Castle and creative Frozen Snowflake Art. What’s missing? You guessed it Frozen Playdough!
We love our No Cook Playdough Recipe and make it all the time, so we used that recipe and added blue food colouring and sparkly glitter to create a ‘Frozen’ like playdough that I bet Elsa & Anna would love to play with!
To make your own you will need:
1 cup of flour
1/2 cup of salt
2 tbs of cream of tartar
1 tbs of oil
Blue food colouring
1 cup of boiling water
Blue and/or silver glitter
Directions
Step 1
Mix flour, salt, cream of tartar and oil into a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Add 5 – 10 drops of the blue food colouring to 1 cup of boiling water
Step 3
Add the boiling water and mix well. *Please take care when using boiling water around children.
Step 4
Add as much glitter as you like! We used LOADS! (probably about 50 grams)

Roll it out on a flat surface and you are ready for some Frozen playdough FUN!
