Death By Peanut Butter. Or not.
I love peanut butter. I’ve been known to eat it direct from the jar. Not lately, obviously, I’m much too mature and sensible for that (*cough*) but it’s definitely one of my favourite foods. I particularly love it with jam, like the fake-American I am. Over the years, I think I’ve tried every brand. Some are too oily. Some are too salty. Some aren’t salty enough. Whole Earth peanut butter is, as...
Are You Armed With A Humidifier Yet?
Katy has been badgering me into getting a humidifier for a while. Every time one of the boys gets a cold I can guarantee I’ll get a mail with a link to a humidifier in it, saying ‘buy buy buy!’. But I’ve always resisted, not really seeing the need to go and splash out on one just for the few times a year it might be handy.

A couple of weeks ago, I went for a massage. I haven’t had one for a while. I’ve never been much of a massage person, but after I had my first child (6 years ago), I was desperate for one. It was (apart from the baby) pretty much all I could think about. I felt beaten up and out of touch with my body (having mostly seen it as a receptacle for someone else’s body for nine months). When Harry was about two weeks old, I found a...
MP3 player for children – step up the SanDisk Sansa Clip+
My boys have all had MP3 players for a year or two now. They love them – and we love that they love them. But we were initially concerned about spending a lot of money on something they’d no doubt lose or break inside 3 weeks, so we bought the cheapest we could find (£7 max).
