As a parent to a baby & toddler with sensitive skin, using a non-bio detergent is important to me so as not to irritate their skin any more. I usually switch between brands depending what’s on offer and/or where I shop, though I do have my favourites. I was recently invited to try one of Surcare‘s laundry products, the Surcare Sensitive capsules. All products are non-bio and sensitive. The capsules I received are: suitable for sensitive skin fragrance free outstanding cleaning performance at 30c non biological dermatologically tested & approved I decided to try the capsules in a variety of ways to …

We are (baby led) weaning!
It’s come that time again, one of the most fun parts of being a baby – weaning! I mentioned in N’s 6 month update that we had started. I tried him with some food a month or so ago but he wasn’t really interested, so I left a while. When he actually started grabbing for our food, I knew he was completely ready.

Recipe – Chunky chocolate kugelhopf (#GreatBloggersBakeOff2014)
First of all, I just want to say thank you to Jenny for awarding me Star Baker for my tart last week! You can see my badge at the bottom of the page! So this week was European bakes. It took me a day or two to make a decision on what I was going to make, then I finally decided on kugelhopf after looking through my recipe books. I was crossing my fingers all the way through that it was going to rise properly, and it was a complete success! The original had fruit in but I thought I …
