Get them before they are gone! We are down to our last 3 scribble mat varieties and just a couple of the tinies packs left and once they are gone, they are gone! So if your kids or grandkids love these, make sure you pick one up while you still can…
Tag a friend whose kids you think would love them so they don’t miss out on them too.

I popped down to the Esplanade today and it’s officially looking very IRONMAN-ready for Sunday! 🏊🚴🏃

Every year I go down to cheer on the incredible athletes and, without fail, I get that little burst of inspiration and think, “Maybe I could do that one day...”

Then I remember I’m not exactly built for swimming 3.8km, cycling 180km and running a marathon. 😂

I’m more of a Fabric Ironman competitor:

✂️ Cut
🧺 Iron
🧵 Sew

Now THAT’S an endurance event I could get behind!

So it got me thinking... if you had your own version of an Ironman, what would your three stages be?

☕ Coffee, Snack, Nap?
📚 Read, Bookmark, Buy More Books?
🌱 Plant, W**d, Water?

Tell us your three stages in the comments! 👇
