I’ve been trying to theme play time a bit so we don’t get bored during the long days of lockdown. Today we did black and white play inspired by our @babysensoryuk online class today. We’ve also done musical and noisy toys, singing and nursery rhymes, blocks, soft toys, and shiny and mirrored stuff. 🧸 Any ideas for other activities I can be doing with an 8 months old that doesn’t involve wasting food and household supplies? 🥁 #worldoflittles #motherhoodrising #unitedmotherhood #dailyparenting #motherlove #momlife #parenthood #letthembelittle #mumlife #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodrocks #motherhoodthroughinstagram #momentsinmotherhood #lifeasamama #motherhoodisdarling #justmomlife #babyeducation #playtime #playideas
A few weeks ago I put on my stories that I got a Kiipix portable instant printer using my @BootsUK advantage points. Since then a few people have asked how it is. Now we’re in lock down I’ve had chance to try it, — and I’ve wasted film so you don’t have to! Pros 👍 You can choose the photo you want to use rather than risk taking a rubbish one with an instant camera. 👍 You can also edit the photo before using the printer too. 👍 If you’re using the printer for projects that will be gifts it will come as a surprise because the recipient will never have been in front of an instant camera. 👍 You don’t have to carry around an extra, bulky camera everywhere you go Cons 👎 Lining up the photo using your phone on the camera. Your screen is upside down so you can’t see. There’s a tiny mirror to check but what you see is dependent on the angle you’re sitting at. 👎 The colour isn’t brilliant and is inconsistent depending on how long you hold the shutter for and probably the darkness of the photo and the room you’re in 👎 I’ve also got a fair bit of light leak on my photos so far 👎 It’s advertised as ‘portable’ so that really depends on how you interpret that. It’s not handbag sized but perhaps suitcase sized if you don’t mind forfeiting a shoe. Tips 📸 You have to hold down the shutter button for a few seconds and not a quick snap. I’ve put a photo up of the different photos and how long the shutter was down for. 📸 Turn you screen brightness to maximum 📸 Follow the direction of the arrow on the knob thing. It doesn’t feel like it’s doing anything but it does actually work! All in all it’s not a bad gadget, I’m pleased I got it with my Boots advantage points as I’ll get much more use from it than I would with some random make up or perfume. Maybe I’ll make a start on Birdie’s scrapbook during lockdown 🤔 @kiipixofficial @kiipix_uk #mykiipix #kiipixuk #instantphotography #instantphoto #papercraft #papercrafting #cardmaking #scrapbooklayout #cardmakingideas #scrapbookingideas #memorykeeping
What a funny time for the world. We’re enjoying the stillness, so far, but gutted for the self employed and small businesses, and grateful -as ever- for our health service and the key workers keeping the country ticking over. Stay safe and stay home. 🍃 #stayhome
