When Daddy makes tea…

Posted in Family AdventuresTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

I had to share this with you- As I sat on the sofa heating my back for some relief, Daddy went to make the kids tea.

20 minutes later and there was a loud knock at the door. I invited the kids to answer the door with me, they all rushed not knowing what to expect. Daddy was stood there with three deliveries of his very own pizza! Gilmours Pizza! The kids rushed to the living room as it’s Friday we have a chilled out evening. They enjoyed the difference in their tea this evening. Some fun and laughter along the way.

Daddy used some packaging from our home business OuTFox, specialising in metal printing.

Cheap to do and fun, I loved how my hubby enjoyed creating it for the kids.

Have a great weekend.

SWAG

Posted in Geocaching AdventuresTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , 3 Comments

For those of you who don’t know, SWAG is short for Stuff We All Get. In the Geocaching terms it is trinkets you find in caches that can be swapped with your swag.

Things you may find are toys, tokens, trinkets, tools, badges, figures and mini stationary. It gives the children even more excitement when we Geocache and finding child friendly (or bigger caches) makes it important at times.

We carry a lot of SWAG with us just in case we come across a cache with no SWAG 🙁 which is an unhappy sight.

Sophie often makes some SWAG, here’s one of her aqua bead creations that is in our SWAG bag.

If you don’t recognise it, this little snowman is in fact from Frozen as one of Olaf’s miniature friends.

As well as SWAG we also put a token of our own home made family ‘logo’ which is like a token. It’s to be kept in the caches and it acts like a calling card- to say that we were there. In the local area people have started to recognise our ‘logo’ and have seen where we have been.

The tokens/coins are made from aluminium and last 2 years with quality and fading after that. A very good length of time.

Who’s made them? My husband of course! The printing business have benefits and you can buy them.

I hope this has opened your eyes to what SWAG is and helped you prepare as well.
