Happy Monday lovely pinners. It is time for another Parenting Pin It Party and this week I am hosting, hurrah!
We had a fantastic fifty-one entries last week so narrowing it down to just two of my favourites was really not easy. After much deliberation I finally settled on these two. If you did not get a chance to read them, please do. They will not disappoint.
The first is some home-schooling at it’s finest. I also cannot resist a bit of cardboard-box crafting. Here Lemon Lime Adventures show how to plan, and then construct, an entire city from cardboard. It really is amazing.
Second is a wonderful idea for winter sun catchers from Winegums and Watermelons. Something I plan to do myself with the boy very soon so a huge thank you to them for this fantastic idea.
So, again, a huge thank you to our featured pinners. We do hope you will link up again this week and we have even made you a special badge should you wish to display it.

Now let’s get this weeks party started.
For those of you joining us for the first time here is what to do:
1. Link up one, or more, of your own parenting/family posts. This can be anything you like but below are some examples:
- A family friendly recipe
- A child friendy craft
- Parenting tips or advice
- A post about a recent family experience
- A review of a child’s book/product
- A tale of the latest tantrum trauma
Really, anything you like. The more variety the better and there is sure to be something for everyone. Each entry will then be pinned by the host to the Monday Parenting Pin-It Party board on Pinterest, see below.
2. Follow the Monday Parenting Pin-It Party board on pinterest, featured below.
3. Try to visit two other entries on the list that you like the look of and may wish to pin to one of your own boards, and leave them a comment letting them know you came from here and leave your pinterest ID.
4. For those Pin-It Party members that comment on your post, try to visit on pinterest and follow at least one of their boards. This way everyone should hopefully gain some new followers themselves whilst discovering lots more cool stuff to pin and like-minded pinners to follow.
It is all about sharing the pin-tastic-love people!
It would also be super lovely if you would like to link your post back to the host by either a text-link or by grabbing the badge but you are under no obligation to do so.

Thanks so much for the party – love the sun catchers
You are very welcome. Thanks for joining in. Your posts are always full of great tips.
LOVE the cardboard city, Syd is just getting into stuff like that, and its a great way to have something new to play with without having to splash the cash!
It is indeed. I made the boy a cardboard box car once and I think he loved it more than anything else. Eventually it kind of collapsed though. It was a sad day 😉
Cardboard city! Love it! What child doesn’t love a cardboard box!!
Exactly! The work that went into that city is really quite astounding.
I already have the suncatchers on my to-do list. I love the cardboard city. I shall have a look on the Pinterest boards later for more inspiration
The suncatchers are really beautiful aren’t they?
I pinned the sun catchers last week, they are fab 🙂
They really are beautiful!
I must get my head around Pinterest
adds to list of things I am rubbish at and must master in 2014
Honestly T it is ADDICTIVE! You have been warned.
Thank you for hosting – will be back later to do my pinning.
You are welcome. There has been some fab stuff linked up today and I am only halfway through! I think you will love the Valentine’s Day Sun-catchers and Stef’s Twice baked potatoes look amazing.
Those winter suncatchers look amazing x
They really do. So simple yet I can never think of this sort of stuff myself. Thank goodness for pinterest.
I second the sun catchers – gorgeous! Makes me want to get my craft on!
Brilliant! It is once to see some winter craft isn’t it? I am generally completely uninspired this time of year.
I love the sun catchers and have had a go at these in the past. I’ll be coming back to this linky, it’s really good for ideas.
We do get a great variety linked up and this week is looking great so far.
