Slopsville 12 – The Bear and the Owl.
Remember how I said this week I was going to write about making Helen’s Rice Pudding for Joe? Well, I bought all the ingredients and then David made it. He was sick of waiting for me to do it. It had been three, maybe four, days. He is so turning into his mother. Anyway, I’ve bought more ingredients and will endeavour to make it this week. (David’s version, btw, not so good. He didn’t follow Helen’s...
Spotted! Stripy Blankets from the Stripy Co.
What is it about stripes? And blankets?

Take the children this weekend and make the most of this glorious autumn to spend a day exploring the...
Slopsville – Our baby Weaning Diary. Week 11.
Each week, I get a newsletter about what to expect at each stage of my baby’s development. A couple of weeks ago, it included the following: “Any day now, if she hasn’t already, your baby may try feeding herself.” Any day now? Joe’s been doing it for months! Months! Trying, I mean.
