I don’t know about you but I often find it difficult to make lunchtime fun for the children. I often lack inspiration, especially when they want something NOW!

I do love the weekend and a quiet couple of days at home. We didn’t have much to do apart from take bags of goodies to our local charity shop and take my new car for a drive. I can’t tell you how strange I’m finding being able to drive legally. The weather has finally been a little cooler so we thought it would be perfect for a barbecue. It was actually a relief to cover up and wear a cardigan which shows how old I am 🙂 Anyway, we fired up the barbecue and got cooking as nothing says…

This cold weather means I want to be eating good wholesome food! Ok, so I’ve already written about butterfly cakes today but I don’t just eat cake (honest). Most of the time I like to cook our meals from scratch but, like most busy mums, I keep stock of quick and easy meals for my lazy days when I don’t want to spend time cooking. Today I was waiting for my husband to come home from work to decide what he wanted to eat for dinner. For various reasons it took him over 2 hours (instead of the usual 40…

My little 14 month old is a messy eater. She has the appetite of a sparrow and what she doesn’t eat, she gets everywhere. This morning it was porridge rubbed in her hair and I can’t even write about the things that fall out of her nappy everytime I change her. She was sent some OXO tot products from their feeding range, and whilst they didn’t stop the mess, they did make mealtimes more fun for her. We tried the OXO tot divided plate, feeding spoon and sippy cut with handles. She took to all the items straight away! The…

Now I’m the proud mother of two children it seems strange looking back to the time I wasn’t pregnant or a parent. I don’t think I used to be quite so addicted to my laptop(!) but I remember when I still worked and was pregnant a colleague recommended some websites to look at. These included the Bounty pregnancy tracker and sites to meet other pregnant women. I quickly signed myself up to receive emails and became inundated with information. It’s so each to feel overwhelmed and it took a while to find out what I really needed. I wish there was…

We were sent a (very large) box of the new limited edition Colour Me In Rice Krispies and a Bumper Colouring Case with 58 different pens, pencils, glitter glues and markers so the toddler and I could decorate the characters on the Rice Krispies box and personalise breakfast. Quite a long time ago the toddler went off breakfast (spot a theme in our house!?) and for the last year he’s eaten toast and a yoghurt everyday without fail. However, the arrival of the Rice Crispies, or “crisps” as he calls them, has him eating breakfast cereal again! On the day…

The toddler loves getting parcels as much as me. Although our latest package had my name on it, as soon as he saw a picture of a tractor on the box he knew the contents were for him. He was sent a tasty organic selection pack* from Organix to enjoy. Included in the pack were a delicious Mighty Meals, some of the newest additions to the award winning Goodies range including Mini Cheese Crackers and Tomato & Carrot Veg & Oat Bars, and some old favourites including Gingerbread Men, Cheese & Herb Puffs and Apple & Raspberry Soft Oaty Bars.…

A bottle of sweet chilli sauce has been a staple of my kitchen cupboards since I was at uni. Blue Dragon make lots of other lovely products and we were recently sent some goodies from their range. Tonight we had a delicious curry made with their coconut milk and Laksa curry paste – just the right spicy-ness for us! Blue Dragon are currently running a great on-pack promotion so you can win your own Oriental bowl and spoon set. 2012 is the year of the Dragon, a powerful symbol in Oriental astrology of good fortune. It also happens to be…
