As a busy mum and farmer’s wife, I sometimes get stuck with filling and nutritious meal ideas for the whole family. Things happen. Sometimes I forget to defrost things, sometimes I am tired. So when Iceland got in touch to tell me about their new #PowerofFrozen campaign, I was intrigued. To be honest, I had…
When Boo was a baby and we were trying to get her to drink from a sippy cup, it was an absolute nightmare. I found 17 different types of sippy cups in my cupboard when we moved to the farm. I was not going through that this time. We have provided G with a sippy…
Getting the whole family to eat the same thing can sometimes be a struggle but with children (babies especially) enjoying sweet things more than savoury, this pork and apple stew recipe has proved a winner for weaning right through to Hubster and it couldn’t be easier. You will need: One British pork chop per…
Baby G is nine months old now and the weaning is going great. We are doing a mixture of feeding styles-mostly spoon feeding but allowing to choose from a range of foods on his high chair tray to get used to chewing and holding foods. At this stage, I think he has eaten a lot…
After their popularity in previous years, Soreen has brought back its Toffee Apple Scream lunchbox loaves as well as a new Chocolate and Blood Orange flavour. We are a big fan of the original Soreen here in all of its forms so we were keen to give these new flavours a try. They are delicious,…
Imagine the Incredible Hulk as a baby. That is what Baby G is like. He has a vice-like grip and whether it be hair, skin on your arm, your nose, a toy, food or something he isn’t supposed to have, those little fingers hold on for dear life. Considering his last monthly update, he had…
Weaning is in full flow here at the farm. I think it has become a bit easier now that Baby G is seven months old as we have been introducing meat and fish to his diet so he can essentially eat what we do. I never add salt to my cooking so, as long as…
As Baby G is now seven months old, we are able to give him many exciting new things to try. The lovely people at Organix have sent us a couple of new products to try out and Mr G could not be more pleased. Since September is now universally known as Organic September (#OrganicSeptember), I…
I make no secret that I struggle coming up with new meal ideas. I cannot stand having to make 16 different options to suit everyone. I need a crowd pleaser every night. So when Little Dish offered me the chance to review their new cook book, Little Dish Family Cookbook, I couldn’t refuse. Baby G…
Since my weaning adventure with Boo, I seem to have forgotten everything. We got stuck in a bit of a baby-food-rut. Baby G loves all things sweet-yoghurt, porridge and fruit but savoury foods are not his thing yet so most vegetables still have to be mixed with fruit. Carrot and apple or butternut squash with…
