Washing willies
If you’re squeamish, then don’t feel you need to keep reading, but if you’ve a little boy, then it might be worth continuing. I’m sure N will be mortified at this post in future, but I think it’s really important…

Party gift etiquette
Having children means parties. Their own and other people’s (although so far we’ve avoided having a party for N – I reckon in future we’ll do it in the summer so we stand a better chance of getting decent weather…
Babies and Dolls
N’s never really shown an interest in dolls or babies. He’s pointed at babies in books, but any dolls in pictures he’s also referred to them as babies. He has no dolls of his own (he did have a set…
Full fat vs oops
The general rules for feeding children are full fat dairy til 2, then if they’re normal or overweight they can change to semi-skimmed milk. We’re likely to keep N on full fat given that’s what his dad has and if…
Dinner time decisions
When I was working, it was really easy to work out what we were doing for dinner when. I tended to eat at work, N would eat at either nursery or at the farm on non-nursery days, and OH would…
Award season…who gets your vote?
It’s award season, and the MADS 2013 (or Mum and Dad Blog awards) nominations are now open. Last year I didn’t know much about them, and now I’m out of the ‘new blogger’ category, putting me up against some amazing…

Totally missed yesterday’s link up, so here’s this weeks meal plan today. I managed to luck out Monday (roast leftovers from dinner at the in-laws) and Tuesday (OH brought some breaded plaice over that his mum had got – I…
Review: Hotel Chocolat Open Your Heart to Me (baby!)
It’s getting close to Valentine’s Day, and thoughts obviously turn to chocolate (especially if you’d given it up for a new year’s resolution as part of a healthy eating/weight loss regime…that’d be me, then!). Never one to turn down good…
50 book challenge 2013: January update
So far so good in my reading challenge for 2013. I’m onto book number 7, and have been mixing up my books between my favourite authors and genres (crime, psychological thriller, chick lit) interspersed with Kindle books I’ve found for…
Food grabber
I reckon I’ve probably established for everyone reading that N likes his food. So much so, that he’s started getting a bit sly about getting hold of it. First, I’d find him opening his cupboard door in the kitchen…where his…
Food’s more fun with mum
Says I. N gets a real mix of food. At home (and nursery), it’s pretty much all home cooked, with home being more traditional. The OH isn’t a fan of indian or chinese, or anything other than traditional British with…
