We enjoyed two wonderful days of sunshine here in London – and it’s wild garlic season which means dinner is sorted thanks to our lovely friend Laura who dropped over a bunch earlier that she’d foraged. Here’s some other fun things going on on the internet.. View Post
Do your kids eat salad greens? If they do, then lucky you, but if, like most of us, you’re desperate to introduce the delights and textures of raw saladings to your little refuseniks, then you could do much worse than try out this little project. Not only is it the easiest and most gratifying seed-sowing escapade for doing with little ones, but the ensuing pea-shoots are sweet and yummy, just like peas; the perfect gateway to rather more challenging raw green things.

I swear one day my bag used to be full of chewing gum and spare pairs of shoes. These days, my bag is more likely to contain a crumpled up canvas bag or three and half a slice of banana bread (if I’m lucky). I never, ever leave the house these days without a tin or canvas bag of some sorts and feel kinda naked if I do. (Have a peek inside my ‘handbag’). View Post
What are you up to this long weekend? We are going to be celebrating our version of Easter along with enjoying a good #zeroplansday or three. We are also meeting up with my best friend, her family and their new baby! (Yep, remember Megan who gave all the tips about turning a breech baby ? That one!) Here’s some fun things from around the web: View Post
We share an illustration by the awesome Nina Cosford every week. Here’s todays. View Post
So. I’m currently in the process of transforming into a not-so-stay-at-home mum and full time blogger. I’m morphing as a person, going through some pretty big changes, many of which I’m sharing with you. I am in the social media world which means I am social, when I want to be (currently sitting in the waiting room at the dentist about to have part of my gums shaven off, didn’t ya know). Instagram is my real life but its not my full life. View Post
My midwife told me at 36 weeks that my baby was breech. With a sigh and defeatist attitude she immediately launched into ECV and c section options. Personally, I knew I would always refuse an ECV (where the baby is manually moved). I just didn’t like the sound of it and the success rate was not high enough to justify it. View Post
There is nothing like traveling to the Far East with kids that bring us parents out in the shakes – and understandably so. It’s a far off place whose culture, language, politics are totally distinct from ours here in the UK . I for one was definitely anxious before we left and did worry if we’d overshot ourselves heading there with a two year old and an eight month old. View Post
