[Sponsored Post] Capturing life’s moments using my Smart Phone

What started as a day with the question “What are we doing today mummy?” turned into a “This was the best day ever. Let’s do it again tomorrow!” by the end of the day. And all because of my smart phone.

As soon as I heard that dreaded question, I whisked up my smart phone and punched in some of my favourite apps, hoping to find inspiration. And I did! We found out about the latest exhibition at our local museum and the fun activities planned in the kids area. All the information about this kids exhibition was found on the museum’s app. It helped me find the best times to take the children there, the best place to park and where to feed them.

Check out all the photos to see what a fun day this turned out to be!

Starting the day right because we found the perfect car park

First Stop - The Kids Mobile Kitchen

Letting the kids make us some breakfast first! How much fun!

Next, the boys decided to mess up the nest

On to the museum. Giant colorful flowers!

Next stop - the giant balloon room. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to touch these!

But this is completely hands on! In the sticker room!

We were allowed to touch these! The sticker room! Everything was fair game. Stickers were everywhere!

We used our phone for navigation, for finding the closest park, and then to find the best kids eatery around afterwards. Of course, we then used the phone to capture our precious moments through out the day. We cannot live without it!

Let me just start by saying—this book is an absolute dream for anyone who gets a little thrill from dusty corners, vintage finds, and the stories old objects tell. Better Homes and Gardens Flea Market Decorating is like walking through the best parts of a weekend market, but with someone stylish and savvy whispering decorating secrets in your ear.

If you’re like me and can’t walk past a chipped enamel jug or a stack of mismatched teacups without imagining them repurposed into something fabulous, then you’re going to feel right at home with this book. It’s filled with page after page of design inspiration, styling tips, and clever ideas for giving new life to old treasures. Think: a weathered bench turned entryway showstopper, or a collection of vintage cameras displayed as functional art.

What I really loved is how the book doesn’t take itself too seriously. It celebrates personality, imperfection, and the charm of the unexpected. You don’t need a designer budget or a house full of pristine antiques—just a good eye, a bit of imagination, and maybe a love of digging through secondhand stalls.

There are also practical tips woven in, like how to spot a quality piece, clean up a flea market find, or figure out how to mix styles without ending up with a room that feels like grandma’s attic (unless, of course, that’s the vibe you’re going for—and no judgment here!).

As someone who regularly repurposes and upcycles, I appreciated how much the book encourages sustainability. It’s a gentle nudge toward mindful decorating—choosing pieces with history and heart, rather than filling your space with fast decor.

Whether you’re a seasoned thrifter or just dipping your toes into the vintage pool, this one is definitely worth flipping through with a cup of tea and a notebook full of ideas. It left me itching to hit my local flea market and find my next project. If your idea of a perfect weekend involves rummaging for forgotten treasures, you’ll absolutely love it.
