Washing willies

ByEmma February 14, 2014

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…

Full fat vs oops

ByEmma January 31, 2013

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

ByEmma January 30, 2013

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…

ByEmma February 2, 2013

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…

Food grabber

ByEmma January 27, 2013

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

ByEmma January 28, 2013

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…

Birthday Preparations

ByEmma March 10, 2018

It’s N’s birthday tomorrow, so the last couple of days I’ve been sorting bits out. With the snow, the plans to meet up with friends at soft play isn’t going to happen so we’ll be postponing that. He’ll also have…

Chocolate

ByEmma January 13, 2013

N doesn’t really have chocolate much. Pudding of some sort every day, cake a lot more frequently that I’d ever have had as a child, and lots of fruit, but chocolate less so. It’s amazing how quickly children decide they…

ByEmma October 19, 2017

When you’re a parent, the number of photos you take seems to increase dramatically, but there’s definitely a knack to getting good photos of your children. Sometimes they can be a bit hit & miss, especially once the baby is…
