Since having children, it seems I had some kind of radar for farm toys. If I see a little tractor, I usually have to get it. This is for both children-not just Baby G after all, girls drive tractors too. Have you ever been into a shop and looked for a tractor? I did not…
Autumn and back to school can mean only one thing-the Baby and Toddler Show in Sandown Park, Surrey and Event City Manchester. I am really looking forward to it this time as I was unable to make the Spring shows because I had just had Baby G. With big sister in school, it means I…
It’s under two weeks until the Rugby World Cup and, as we are hosting the tournament, it seems only right that I try and get some rugby themed play into our life. Hailing from Wigan, I don’t need too much persuasion to look into the chunky thighs of men but it is all Rugby League…
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…

I have had stickers on…

They chose five celebrity bakers- Rosemary Shrager, Brendan Lynch, Dean Edwards, Matt Tebbutt…
Dearest Boo, Today was your first day at school and while this is exciting and will be filled with new adventure, it is also the end of an era. Up until now, it is your Daddy and I who have been your biggest influencers. You spend more time with us than you do anyone…
We are on the final day of the summer holidays. I actually thought yesterday was the last day and was fully prepared to arrive at school today for the first day until my friend broke the news that I had got the date wrong. Oops. Anyway, I thought today might be a good day to…
Another month had flown and my boy is now 7 months old. He is such a happy baby and smiles from the minute he wakes up until he goes to sleep. On his last weigh-in the little chunk was a few ounces under 20lb so I am convinced he is 20lb now. Despite weaning…
