My husband was a Beaver, Cuba leader when our son was a child. I often helped out with the games and crafts. One year I made all of the cub scarves, I actually made enough to give out for many years. Gluten free baking I challenging!
Oh wow that’s amazing!! I love that. I really enjoy being a leader. Oh yes I didn’t realise it would be difficult lol. The little boys dad said he finds it challenging too xx
Scout and Girguiding leaders are truly amazing. Your dedication is insane. My girls have the most incredible opportunities and I'm truly grateful for all of you who selflessly give your time xxx
Thanks so much Katie, that’s exactly how I feel being a parent, so grateful for those who volunteer their time to give the kids these amazing experiences. As a leader I feel a great sense of accomplishment and achievement. Just seeing their smiling faces makes it worthwhile. I love their characters and getting to know them too xx
Hope you have a great time with the Cubs tonight, lucky things! :) That was so thoughtful of you to make a special gluten-free batch, I hope he has a lot of fun decorating them!
Hope you had a great time with the cubs, such a lovely part of growing up with these clubs & going away doing activities - you do a great job Karen. Haven’t made gingerbread men for such a long time. Just trying to catch up with your blogs as we have been away in Devon to see a friend.❤
Hi Alison, thanks so much, it was a fab weekend with the cubs. I really enjoy leading them and we have a great team between us. Hope you had a great visit with your friend in Devon xx
Aww thanks!! Glad it brought back memories for you. They all got eaten and the house did smell lovely from baking them. I’ve now been requested by my boys to make more for them lol xx
Gday lovely. Great catching up with what you have been doing. Yum Gingerbread cookies 😋The face wipes are super cool & practical 😀See you in your next instalment. Thanku 'sew' much for sharing 🪡🎅✂🎄🧵🙂XX
Lol, my daughter who is a nurse, has said she has been so tired that she could see noise. Guess that's what happens when you can hear the sunshine, right??
I've been that tired before! I used to try and tell people that I was seeing sounds and hearing colors! Now I know I'm not the only one to experience that phphenomenon!
Working with children and young people is so rewarding. I hope that everyone had a good time. What amazes me is how you stay so clean when you are baking, especially with a navy top - I have to wear an apron as I get covered in goop. Lol
I really enjoy it Linda, never did I think I’d be in the cubs lol. You’re right it is so rewarding and so fun too. I did have to keep brushing the flour off me, I should wear an apron really, but I just get stuck in and forget xx
This vlog brought back so many memories of my young motherhood years!!
Aww so glad it did Tammy. I do enjoy baking….the house smelt gorgeous afterwards xx
Love the gingerbread people. Great ideas. 🙌❤️💙💜💚
Thanks Sarah, I made 59 normal ones and 8 gluten free and they all got eaten lol xx
I bet they were loved!
