In this festive episode of Mums Work and Chaos, Louise welcomes the talented creator Louise Richardson of Two for Joy Illustration to dive into her beautifully designed advent craft kits! Together, they explore these enchanting kits, which feature 25 adorable mini houses that create a charming holiday village—perfect for a fun family activity or a personal holiday project. 🎨🏠

We’ll unbox the kit, share our first reactions, and jump into the joy of assembling the first house. Louise talks about her journey from studying decorative arts to launching her own business and designing these festive craft kits.
