I recently saw a delicious looking soup in a sandwich shop. Christmas soup. I was really excited about it but imagined it would have turkey in it. It didn’t, it had ham so I still couldn’t have it (remember the vegetarian farmer’s wife). So I decided I wasn’t about to miss out and made it…
I am very excited today to be hosting the Britmums Blog Carnival. It is really a virtual party to celebrate the wonderful world of blogging in general and parent bloggers in particular. We’ve all got something in common in this (sometimes) rough road of parenting and so I feel a great affinity to some of the…
#Tinsel Tuesdays is back for week two. We had some great entries this week including a delicious looking festive marmalade cake from Time to be an Adult and homemade, mince meat from Mama Frog. Non-edible offerings came from Mummy M’s Memories who was lucky enough to go and see the new Nativity 3 movie…
Can I have a claxon please? I am officially into my third trimester. It is true ladies and gentlemen, I am 28 weeks pregnant and you know what that means? That’s right, my hormones are supersonic I only have 10 weeks left. Yes, ten little weeks until I will be induced. Yay. So this week…
Boo is firmly out of the weaning pouch stage but I remember when she was. That first Christmas, she was 11 months old and I really wished a Christmas dinner pouch had been available for when we were on the go. This year, the lovely people at Ella’s Kitchen have come up with a limited…
Once upon a time, mummy and Boo got the train to Liverpool to visit Santa’s Magical Grotto at St George’s Hall. They don’t travel very much on trains so the journey there was very exciting despite the pouring rain and there was a lot of “choo-choo-ing” on the way. Neither of them had been…
I’ve seen loads of these button art things on Pinterest. I think they are so cute so, I thought I’d have a go myself. I had a box frame from IKEA so I thought I would use that. I had bought it to frame Boo’s first pair of shoes but, being a late walker,…
So being seven months pregnant, excitement is few and far between at the moment. There is one Christmassy thing I have been looking forward to and that is making my way through the Costa Coffee Christmas menu-decaf of course. My first one had to be special so I waited to visit my favourite branch in…
I find other people’s birth stories intriguing. A bit like when you have a mouth ulcer and you have to keep rubbing your tongue over it, even when it really hurts. Are they sadistic? Is that why we like to read them? Maybe we find solace in the fact other people went through a longer, more…
If you follow me on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook, last week you will not have missed that my beloved dog, Rosie got spayed. She is seven and had a litter of puppies when she was two. We never planned to let her have more as she is too precious to me-what if something went wrong?…
