How to save money with a second baby
The good thing about having a very active 16 month old is that there’s NO time to think about being pregnant. This is both a good and a bad thing. Good because if I think too much I start to worry how I’m going to cope. Bad because I’m finding it really hard to put…
Review: Annabel Karmel baby purees
Annabel Karmel, the UK’s top parenting author on feeding babies and children, has just launched Annabel Karmel’s Organic Fresh Baby Purées. Edward loves trying new foods so we were sent Scrumptious Butternut Squash, Carrot and Salmon and My First Vegetable and Beef Casserole to try. They come in little pots so you can be sure…
Adventures in weaning
When Edward reached 10 months he’s suddenly became really adventurous with food. Although we still use the odd jar and pouch we’ve had some success with finger foods and food I’ve made. It’s fair to say he enjoys his food (like his mum and dad!). Today for example he had baby muesli, a small marmite…

We decided on a Stokke Tripp Trapp but could only find two suppliers in London – Harrods or Born! Luckily Born is based near us in Stoke Newington so…
Our Host a Roast meal
Today we all sat down to our first Sunday roast since Edward was born. As mentioned yesterday our roast chicken was eaten with roast potatoes, roast parsnips and yorkshire puddings from Aunt Bessie’s range. This was one of the easiest (and tastiest!) meals I have prepared in a long time and allowed me plenty of…
Host a Roast
We were given an opportunity to test some Aunt Bessie products. As a busy mummy I SEIZED this opportunity – we love Aunt Bessie products and I’m happy to reduce my time in the kitchen so I can spend more time with my family. My husband and I also realised we had not sat down…
Brother Max 4 in 1 cup
Yesterday I went to John Lewis with the aim of purchasing a cup for my little one. He’s coming up to 6 months and we thought it was time to introduce an alternative to his bottle. John Lewis stock a couple of brands but I loved the simplicity of the brother max 4 in 1…
