Fatherhood: A Crafty Mother’s Day in 10 Photos

Posted on March 15, 2015January 7, 2018 by Henry Elliss

When the clever people at Tesco asked if they could send the boys and myself a little box of Mother’s Day surprises, I (as ever) jumped at the offer – what better day to celebrate the woman of the household than with some home-made goodies and a bit of pampering.

Rather than waffle-on about how much fun it was, or how much Sara enjoyed it, I thought I’d post some of the photos which we took during the day (or weekend). We made glittery cards, served breakfast in bed, made a delicious zesty lemon drizzle cake and an afternoon tea.

A big thank you to the Tesco people for the supplies (including the most ridiculously large lemons we’ve ever seen!) and I hope you all had a great Mother’s Day too, whether as the pamperer or the pamperee!

First order of business was card-making – naturally, it included plenty of PVA glue…

24 hours later and I’ve still not managed to clear up all the glitter!
The idea may have been mine, but the glittering was all the work of the boys!

Cards completed and boys tidied, it was time to start work on the cake

Don't ask me why they chose to put a rabbit and some dinosaurs on there. Kids, eh?
