Gnome Breadmen

Posted on December 13, 2011January 28, 2020 by jenny

Today was the second day I managed to juggle two children on my own and to celebrate I thought I would also do some home baking! Big Brother loves gingerbread as much as I do so we used the gnome breadmen shaped cookie cutters which we were recently sent to try. Not your usual cookie…

Decorate Your Own Gingerbread Man

Posted on December 12, 2011December 22, 2011 by jenny

Regardless of the time of year I love gingerbread but to most people it has strong connections with the festive season. I’ve definitely been enjoying a glut of gingerbread products on the shelves at the supermarket and Bespoke Foods’ new Gingerbread Man promises lots of edible DIY fun. The Gingerbread Man kit contains all you…

Post-natal care

Posted on December 12, 2011 by jenny

I can’t quite believe that Little Sis is 2 weeks old today. The weeks have gone so quickly and I can’t quite believe there was a time she wasn’t around as she has slotted very easily into our little family. My husband was back at work today so it was my first official day as…

Home furnishings

Posted on December 11, 2011June 26, 2014 by jenny

It’s funny how the beautiful family home we bought before we had children is now bursting at the seams. We clearly never anticipated the explosion of stuff that came with having one child and with the arrival of Little Sis we are now constantly tripping over toys, children or cats and are looking forward to…

Nod Pod baby blanket

Posted on December 10, 2011November 18, 2020 by jenny

One of the things I had forgotten about having a baby was how much they dislike being washed and changed and Little Sis is no different. She suffers from reflux, just like her Big Brother did, which means we get through plenty of vests and babygros each day. Being a winter baby she needs plenty…
