Although we appreciate the lie-ins and relaxed days, sometimes we get a little stuck for activities to do and keep little man entertained. Luckily Flora has teamed up with parenting author, Tanith Carey, to write a guide inspiring family to craft and bake during the school holidays. 

We will be trying different activities from the guide this week. If you follow @LilinhaAngel on Instagram, you might have spotted pictures of our first activity: baking chocolate chip cupcakes.

Little man loves getting busy in the kitchen and absolutely loved making the chocolate cupcakes. They are easy to do and delicious. We had such a lovely day together. Although it rained all day, we kept busy baking and eating cakes.
