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…
Lifestyle
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…
Meal Planning Monday (er Tuesday): 28th January
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…

Meal Planning Monday – first timer (14th Jan)
I’ve vaguely spotted the Meal planning Monday link ups on twitter, but hadn’t seen any blog posts themselves, but as this year since being off work I’ve found I’ve been planning the weekly meals, I’ve decided I should join in…
Chocolate
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…
Tips for photographing children
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…
We may have a problem with beef
Uh oh. For the second time this week, N has been fussy with food. Not just any food. Beef! What’s the issue, I hear you ask….he’s the son of a beef farmer. Oops. We had steak the other day, and…
