Boiler Madness

So, we have a new twist in the WM Kitchen.

A new boiler.

There are many positives. We can now actually do the kitchen! We have more storage space. Our heating is more efficient and we should avoid our home getting so cold it takes an age to warm up. And we have amazing water pressure in our bathroom, so lovely powerful warm showers here we come!

Obviously it's not cheap to have a new boiler, so that's on the down side. And the house smells of dust. In every room.

But worst of all, my kitchen cupboard is in my actual kitchen and there's a clean up op to do tomorrow.

But it is progress!

And apparently we can now have our bathroom done. So it could be WM bathroom before the kitchen at this rate. Let's see what happens ...

By the way, this has also led to random items appearing in my lounge. One of which is inflatable!

See further pics below. (Along with the reason behind why we have said inflatable in the first place - let's just say it's not just Baby A who likes playing dress up!)

Where the cupboard used to be.
Where it is now!
All the stuff from said cupboard is pretty much covering all the kitchen - I didn't know it was going there!!
An inflatable crocodile.  In my lounge.  Obviously.
Aha.  Now it all makes so much sense.

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 Bakes, Makes & Creates! - Vegan Chocolate-coated Cookie Dough Balls

Further to my Kids Kitchen post, I thought I would share one of our latest efforts - vegan chocolate coated cookie dough balls - yum :) These are delicious and very moreish and crucially, something our littlest will eat.  Looking at him now, he appears a cheeky chubby little cherub and looks the picture of health, but what you don't see is how difficult it has been to get calories into him with his multiple food allergies and initially severe GORD (difficulties keeping food in). So having high calorie allergy safe foods he will eat is a constantly evolving part of our journey with our Cub :) We made these two ways - initially just following a fairly basic dough recipe and then adapting it to make it more vitamin enriched so see also my second post for the vitamin enriched version. Recipe The basic recipe we adapted from one of our favourite You Tuber bakers - Cupcake Gemma - so here is a link to her original (non-vegan recipe) which we then adapted  https://www.youtu...
