International Dalek Rememberence Day
Today is international Dalek
remembrance day (yes it is a real thing). On this day in 1963 the
Daleks first exterminated onto our TV screens and have been an icon
of British TV since.
So I thought I would make a list of
ways to defeat the Daleks based on some of the more recent of the
Doctors adventures to help you defeat the Daleks should you find
yourself faced with a Dalek.

My Trip to Accident and Emergency
This Saturday I hurt my hand and I had
to spend the evening in my local Accident and Emergency.
There has been a lot of bad publicity
surrounding the NHS and specifically waiting times of Accident and
Emergency departments. However my experience was very positive
(despite the pain!) so I thought I would be nice for people to hear
about a positive experience.

Pipe cleaner christmas tree
This week at Brownies we made Christmas
tree decorations out of pipe cleaners. These are not as easy to make
as the Christmas star I have previously made but my Brownies (aged 7-
10) were able to make them with only a little assistant, and they
really enjoyed making them. So I thought I would share this idea with
you to help entertain your children this Christmas time.
All you need is 2 green pipe cleaners,
some coloured beads (I have used 17 but you can vary it), either a
star shaped bead or star shaped stickers, a small piece of coloured
paper, material or felt, and a small piece of string.
To start you fold the 2 pipe cleaners
in two and twist them together at the fold, tie the piece of string
around the twist. Next thread a star shaped bead onto the string, a
star shaped sticker will also work, and tie a knot in the string.
Now thread the other beads onto the pipe cleaner (I have used 4 beads on each branch, feel free to use as many as you like as more beads to thread may keep the children quieter for longer!).
Next you have to bend all the pipe cleaner branches into the shape below.
Now thread the other beads onto the pipe cleaner (I have used 4 beads on each branch, feel free to use as many as you like as more beads to thread may keep the children quieter for longer!).
Next you have to bend all the pipe cleaner branches into the shape below.
When you have folded them, collect the
4 ends of the branches and bunch them together. After these you can
add another bead to keep the branches together. Next you cut out 2
small squares from your coloured material or paper to make the pot.
Stick these squares on either side of the bunch of branches under to
bead.
Now your tree is finished and can be
hung on the real tree.
Hope this has given you something to
help entertain children in the Christmas holidays. If this is too
difficult or fiddly for your children please see my idea for an easier craft the Christmas star decoration

The New Aveeno Baby Range
When I was a child I had very sensitive
skin so it was not a big surprise when we realised Tilly had quite
sensitive and dry skin as well. So I was delighted when I was
received some items from the new Aveeno baby range.
Aveeno understand that a baby skin in
unique as it is more delicate due to a quicker loss of moisture and
can be prone to dryness and irritation. Aveeno have designed products
that cleanse, soothe and protect the sensitive skin of a baby with a
special formula with natural colloidal (finely ground) oatmeal.

Tilly's school assembly
This week I had to go to Tilly's school
to watch her in her school assembly. At Tilly's school, every class
does an assembly once a year. It only lasts about 20 minutes and
parents and guardians are invited along to watch. She was very
excited and had been practising at home.
