Keris has been reviewing again (we think she only loves us for the review stuff, actually…), and this time she has been putting the Hoppop bag through its paces. I hadn’t even seen these before, but I did have a little ‘oooh!’ moment when I did – and wished I had a child that was [...]
We gave our intrepid reviewer Keris the fragrant and enviable task of the Cheeky Wipes review, seeing as she has a small boy with a lovely appetite (and we all know what THAT means in the nappy department). Now Keris’ reviews are always worth a read, but this one has to be my favourite all [...]
Keris is one of our favourite reviewers (and the author of our brilliant Slopsville series last year, her week by week success-by-disaster weaning diary), so we are naturally excited that her first book is finally on the shelves. And just look – this (very excited) image taken just today in WH Smiths proves it! ‘Della [...]
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.”
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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) doesn’t [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
