Slopsville – Our Baby Weaning Diary. Week Three.

I said I was going to write about cooking (sorry, to be completely truthful, that should be “cooking”) this week, didn’t I, but first an update. The pooing may be coming under control.

But of course, that gives you the impression that we only ever think nice things about products sent to us. Not true! So, we’ve [...]



Children love a ‘staycation’ – give ‘em a bucket and spade.
