Stop the press, the baby likes popcorn. To be honest with you it hadn’t really occurred to me that popcorn was a good baby led snack option. I dont really know why, maybe i thought it was too crunchy or to hard to chew. It turns out that I was wrong! Popcorn is a great… Continue reading Pumpkin spiced popcorn
I would like to impart on my daughter my love of breakfast. It is without a doubt my favorite meal of the day. I can easily go with dinner but breakfast makes me happy. It doesn’t have to be big, in fact a large well made coffee and a bowl of berries is perfection, but… Continue reading Breakfast Cookies
Just a pre-warning, this recipe requires ripe avocados, but not ones that are too ripe.

So there has been a definite shift in the mini foodie over the last couple of weeks. Spoon fed anything is out (it has always been a struggle) and self feeding is in. She has always been happy to feed herself but now that her pincer grip is even better (mini mum boast) she is… Continue reading Pea, spinach and mint baby ravioli
In a world of mumsnet arguments and bitchy trolls, it would be easy to imagine that mums are all set to be pitted against each other.
