Can't do 2 things at once!

I don't know what it is, but despite all my needs to be able to multitask, I seem to have missed out on the 'standard' female gene to be able to do more than 2 things at once.

Maybe I was meant to be born a boy. Or maybe it's being raised in a family of all boys (until my adult years when finally I got my step-sisters). Either way, I cannot seem to do what all other women are famed for.

My closest friends and poor, long suffering Mr Big will vouch - I simply cannot do 2 things at once without my brain going into overload and everything getting confused.

I learned that lesson again today. I'm ashamed to say I took the i-pad into the loo with me with the intention of writing my blog post. Well, I've got to take what moments of uninterrupted time I can get! Anyway, needless to say today's post topic has changed as I tried to type and pee at the same time, only to find I peed on my belt.

You see. I can't do 2 things at once!

Wondermum Makes - Tegenarium - Spider House!

My Mum isn't a lover of spiders and unfortunately she passed this fear unwittingly onto Roar when he was small. She didn't want him to stay afraid and so one Christmas, she bought him a Spider House Kit. Between us we hoped he would learn about them and watch one and see they spend a lot of their time motionless and aren't really that scary. Don't get me wrong, I don't love it when a spider scuttles too close, but it's usually the shock of something scuttling into view that's more 'scary' than the spider itself. Well, that's what I tell myself anyway! We have no poisonous spiders to worry about so there really isn't anything to fear (although I know that isn't the same everywhere). We've had this Spider House Kit tucked away in a box for at least a couple of years as Roar was initially not keen. However, in Lockdown all the 'kits' are coming out and so has this one and, what's more, he's LOVED IT! He has l...

Wonder Mum Makes - 7 Step No-Sew Teddy Bear :)

Today is my own Wonder Mum's birthday and so M came up with this idea as something she could send her Nanny while we are all in Lockdown. Here are step-by-step instructions of how to make a no-sew Teddy bear and bring a little sunshine into your day :) Things You Will Need Small bathroom towel or a pillowcase 3 x small rubber bands or loom bands Your own choice of ribbon or decoration e.g. wool / string / elastic etc. A clear, flat working area Instructions Step 1 Lay out your towel or pillow case on your working area and fold approximately one third of the way. Step 2 Start rolling upwards from the bottom, tightly. Keep doing this until roughly half way. Step 3 Repeat from the top so that you end up with the two tightly rolled sections meeting in the middle, like two sausages. Step 4 This is the tricky one as it's two steps in one. Fold your sausages across on themselves, as if you were c...

Wondermum Makes - No-Spider Tegenarium / Spiderless Spider House!

Further to my recent post, I realise not everyone loves spiders and not everyone knows where to find them or is sure if their spiders are safe. And, as we also have a toddler in our house, we needed a 'Cub Safe' version to ensure no real spiders are harmed by an excited toddler shaking their spider-house! So we decided to make a pretend spider so Cub could also be included :) To make the actual spider house, see my other post - this is just to make the fake spiders! Things You Will Need Our list included single and double-sided tape, curling ribbon, scissors, paper, black pen and optional googly-eyes :) But if you don't have all of the above, you could use glue instead of tape or double-back on itself some single sided tape to make it double-side. Curling ribbon could be string/cotton/wool etc. Your spider can be any colour so any colour paper will do or colour some in. You could even use newspaper! And if you don't have googly-eyes, you can m...
