Many thanks to Carrefour for the free kids' show today...we enjoyed it for a loooooong time! 😉

One thing I resolved not to change last year was painting with my Chou, who has FINALLY decided to embrace getting messy (hooray!). This was the crowning achievement of our year, painting-wise, where we crammed 22 animals onto one piece of paper (a giraffe and a rhino's bottom are hiding off-screen). It was an experience I may not be repeating too often 😉 To see the full picture or to check out what else I resolved not to change please come and visit me at: www.chomeusewithachou.wordpress.com #handprintpainting #toddlerart #handprintanimals #labouroflove #homemade

"C" is for "Chomeuse", "Chou" and..."cod"? Perhaps not everyone's first choice for an animal beginning with "c", but I have finally lost a long-running battle with my husband on whether or not to turn part of my precious dumping space/future sophisticated library into his "home work room". He is now comfortably settled with no plans to ruin any other part of the house with his millions of screens and too many cables, so I thought I that I could try to be a gracious loser and admit defeat officially. My Chou and I have made him a "room warming" present, representing his initials: C.O.D. Of course he didn't understand when he opened it...oh well, at least I tried. Now I can go back to being bitter... ;) #handprintart #toddlerart #initialart #cisfor #roomwars #diygift

Pretty, hand-made sparkly crown with a special blue bow on the back that took a fair amount of effort for this enthusiastic novice to make or cardboard "Asterix" crown? Of course my Chou chose the latter and started screaming blue murder at the mere suggestion that he just try on the other. Happily my husband took pity on me and wore the sparkly one himself... #epiphany #galettedesrois #kingscake #handmade #sewingproject #sparkles #wastedeffort #toddler

There is still just about time to say "Happy Epiphany"! My Chou's camels look more like llamas but I'm sure the wise men won't mind...new blog post up about the French tradition of "galette des rois", a mixed success for us this year 😓 #handprintart #epiphany #threekings #toddlercraft #newblogpost

After spending Christmas week eating more food than the Very Hungry Caterpillar (on Tuesday we ate through 1 turkey, on Wednesday we ate through 2 gammons, on Thursday we ate through 3 types of raclette cheese, on Friday we ate through 4 portions of turkey pie etc etc) I am ecstatic to report that, finally, there are NO MORE LEFTOVERS!!! After all that gorging we are certainly not hungry anymore. #zerowaste #newblogpost #Christmasleftovers #toomuchmeat #wheresmycocoon

Have a rummage!
