This post is written in collaboration with Buyagift. With November drawing to an end I always start to panic. December seemed so far away when I was basking in the last of the sun’s rays in the summer holidays, my feet in the paddling pool,......
Today I visited the Cake and Bake Show with a friend. She makes vintage and ‘naked’ cakes for a living, but apart from the healthy treats I make for my boys (usually sweetened with banana or dates) I haven’t got much experience in baking cakes......
I allowed Oliver to have a version of a freakshake today. I would never usually allow him to have one of these, especially after a meal and a cake. But, I did. And I regretted it straight away as he was sick immediately afterwards. We......
When I unboxed my Mam 2-in-1 single breast pump I had a vague idea of how to put it together already. I’d used a different brand of breast pump previously, so I was surprised how few pieces there seemed to be in comparison. A quick......

We are now on week 3 of weaning, and Charlie is starting to make really good progress and a LOT of mess. This week he has been awake and happier at dinner times, so he has been joining in with family meals. His first ever......
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a massive Harry Potter fan. The term for people like me is a ‘Potterhead’. At my hen party we played ‘plant a kiss on Harry Potter’ instead of pin the tail. Amongst my wedding presents was a......
Weaning has been slow this week. Last week Charlie turned 6 months old and I started weaning him. See how we started off week 1 here. My eldest son Oliver, who is now 3 didn’t stop once he’d started weaning. He took to it like......
