Hey readers. So I had a very interesting conversation with my mummy group the other day about whether our LO’s should be allowed to watch TV. Now normally I would be completely against putting My LO in front of the television and leaving her there to amuse herself, but I have to admit, for 10 … Continue Reading »
As most of you probably know, alongside weaning comes another challenge, getting your LO off their bottle and onto a sippy cup. Sounds simple eh? It couldn’t be further from it!!

And so…let the weaning commence! I’s certainly been a fun few days introducing my LO to all sorts of different fruits and vegetables – her first tastes.

Hurrah! I literally couldn’t wait for my … Continue Reading »
This has certainly been one of my hot topics for the past few weeks and after a weaning workshop, reading several books on weaning, I’ve finally decided to take the plunge. We are going to embark on the next step of our journey – weaning (without the high chair as it still hasn’t arrived!). And … Continue Reading »

Not only is coconut water a super refreshing drink but it also helps … Continue Reading »
For those of you with intolerances or special diets, you will be more than aware of just how difficult it is to find food on the go that won’t make you have a horrendous tummy upset for the rest of the day. I’m like no other, office lunches are a complete nightmare – sandwich anyone? … Continue Reading »
Now I’m not one to have a rant but today we went on an adventure. By adventure we went to visit my office for the obligatory ‘show and tell’ that one must do upon producing offspring. You pray your little darling will be the model baby all cooing and smiling while everyone pokes, prods and … Continue Reading »
