Memories with Mum!
We've got an exciting new gift just in time for Mother's Day, and this is no ordinary gift. These notebooks are a great present from the little ones to Mum this Mother's Day. Designed to document all the things they love about their Mum!
Over the years the Children can fill their notebooks in, capturing their favourite memories and storing them in a keepsake for Mum to cherish for years to come.
As the children get older, they can look back and smile about all the amazing things they have done together as a family!
We hope you enjoy creating memories this Mother's Day!

A Recipe for Mum!
We got into the kitchen to bake an absolutely scrumptious recipe for Mothers's Day, classic (and very moreish) shortbread biscuits, with red and pink icing just for Mum! We used three simple ingredients for this recipe, 300 grams plain flour, 200 grams margarine and 100 grams caster sugar.
Firstly, preheat your own to 160C before you start baking, this will get it lovely and toasty for your shortbread's to cook.
Secondly, cream together the butter and sugar in a bowl and gradually mix in the flour. When you start mixing in the flour, using your hands to knead the mixture together into a smooth doughy ball.

And then pop them into the oven for 15 minutes, while you prepare the icing!
We used ready made icing for the look we wanted, and the icing easily rolls out. We used our cookie cutters again, this time adding messages to print the icing.

Once the shortbread is out the oven, set aside to cool and mix up a little bit of icing sugar and water, this will act as a glue so you can put your icing onto your shortbreads!

Next, lightly flour a clean surface and roll out your mixture using a rolling pin to about half a cm thick.
Cut out your shapes, we used our Message in a Cookie Cutter Set and cut out heart shapes!
