2. Real Life….Not So Zen

Anyone with small children, knows this familiar sight of clothes needing attention as photographed by Kate.

Kylie takes the most spectacular photos of her children. Along with the photos in this post, she has some lovely words appreciation those triumphs that children make, which then make a mumma so happy.

7. Playball

Catherine lists simple ideas to amuse the children of all ages with a ball.

8. Finger Labyrinths

Amber shares a peaceful activity for the kids to do using labyrinths. While on her blog, also check out her link to mandalas – some gorgeous templates for colouring.

9. Pins and Needles

An edible idea! The kids can have fun making their own lunch/dinner on a stick.

Have fun in the holidays!

Thank you for including me, too … I feel very honoured, as I stand in awe of all you manage to do while wrangling 4 kids and a newborn (as opposed to my 2 and a newborn!)
