Woop, woop! It's Friday and - for the kids and the young at heart - also Halloween! The weather in Copenhagen is perfect for a spooky night: our clocks went back on Sunday so it's twilight by 5pm, there's a real chill in the air and it's not really raining but just damp. Yesterday morning… Continue reading Halloween! And the Marsh Woman is brewing…

Halloween – boo! Not boo hoo!
I'm getting our Halloween things ready today and tomorrow because I don't want to be running around on Monday afternoon when it's pitch dark (yes, folks, our clocks go back on Sunday night). Been there. Done that. Got the Zombie t-shirt. So here's my checklist so I don't turn into an unravelled mummie a frazzled mummy. We want… Continue reading Halloween – boo! Not boo hoo!
Crafty Tuesday – time for a round up!
Tuesday again...which usually means it's time for another 15 minute craft here on the blog. Today I'm giving you a run down of what we've done so far.

Any arachnaphobics out there? Hope… Continue reading Crafty Tuesday – Halloween 3
Crafty Tuesday – Halloween 2
Another two fast and furious Halloween ideas for you, both of which the kids can make on their own 🙂 GHOST LOLLIES Good to give out to guisers ('Trick or Treaters') who ring your doorbell. Maybe together with one of the SKELETON HANDS I posted last week? You'll need: lollipops some scraps of white cloth/paper/tissue… Continue reading Crafty Tuesday – Halloween 2
Crafty Tuesday – Halloween 1
Halloween is a fairly new tradition in Denmark but it's getting bigger (read => commercial) all the time. But my kids certainly enjoy all the spooky crafts that they do at the afterschool club and, of course, Halloween night when they go out 'guising'. Here are a couple of food ideas to get the Halloween… Continue reading Crafty Tuesday – Halloween 1
