Babypotz – New Review
The lovely Keris‘ review of Babypotz baby food pots is now live on our site here.
“The biggest pots we’re still using now and Joe’s just turned one. They’re useful for leftovers, great for travelling, hygienic.”
Slopsville – The Rice Pudding.
So I finally got around to making Helen’s rice pudding. Kind of. I thought there was only one way to make rice pudding. So I didn’t think I needed to bother making the arduous trek from the kitchen to the computer (about ten feet) to look up Helen’s recipe. How different could it be from [...]
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. He’s only actually succeeded [...]
Slopsville – Our Baby Weaning Diary – Week Ten
A couple of weeks ago, I was send a baby food kit for review. It included a hand blender. Now we bought a hand blender when we had Harry and it was rubbish. It didn’t seem to blend the food, rather it just rearranged it. But this one – wow. From ‘proper’ grown-up food to [...]
Slopsville – Our baby weaning diary. Week Nine. ish.
Have you seen the episode of Friends in which Joey goes out on a date and gets upset with the woman because she takes chips off his plate? He explains his horror by repeating, “Joey doesn’t share food!” Well, my Joe (I’m not calling him ‘Joey’ even for the purposes of this story, sorry) [...]
Slopsville – our baby weaning diary. Week Eight.
It probably won’t come as a shock to you that Joe is a messy eater. You’ve seen his picture. And babies aren’t exactly known for their table manners anyway, are they? But Joe takes messy eating to the next level. He dials messy eating up to 11. He laughs in the face of messy eating [...]
Slopsville – our baby weaning diary. Week Seven.
We got in from a long day visiting family (including my dad in hospital). Joe had barely slept all day (and Joe usually sleeps for at least – at LEAST – four hours a day) so I wanted to get him to bed fairly swiftly, but he also needed to eat something.
The previous day, [...]
Slopsville – our baby weaning diary. Week Six.
What do kippers, papaya, Kitkats, mashed potato, tuna, mango, yoghurt, broccoli, Weetabix, toast, cheese, peaches, salmon, scrambled egg, Philadelphia, and chocolate Buttons have in common? No, that’s not my hangover diet (well, take away the fruit/veg, add a packet of Boasters and fourteen cups of tea and it is, actually), it’s a list of [...]
Slopsville – Our Baby Weaning Diary. Week Five.
This week I’d been planning on writing about all the many and varied foods Joe has tried, but then we went away for a week and I found something else to write about…
On the way home, we’d planned to stop and visit some friends and this meant we had to take the M25. Yes, I [...]
Slopsville – Our Baby Weaning Diary. Week Four.
In Catherine Newman’s gorgeous book Waiting for Birdy (if you haven’t read it, get hold of a copy as soon as you feasibly can, seriously), she describes an occasion when her young son, Ben, choked on a “Lifesaver” (that’s a Polo to us Brits). She writes that Ben was less worried about choking and more [...]
