I remember back when J was starting to feed himself, we gave him cutlery from quite early on, as we have with N; I think from around 9 months old J had a spoon but didn’t really do much with it other than make a mess! Though I do believe it’s all about the fun with food for them at that age anyway. From one year onward though is when I wanted the boys to really try and use their own cutlery. N is much the same as J was, and J didn’t start using cutlery properly until gone 2 …
Ben & Holly Live! | A family adventure
A few months ago I won tickets from a fellow blogger to see Ben & Holly Live! I have been so excited for months as we had never been to a show yet – I think I may have been slightly more excited than J actually… I booked the show for last week and the nearest theatre with a date we could attend was Nottingham at 4pm.

Slimming World weigh in #18 – the one with a surprise loss…
If you read my update from last week you’ll remember I managed to get my 1.5st award, which 18 weeks ago felt like it was totally out of my reach so I was over the moon.

(I usually always have some in the freezer for such happenings). I didn’t know until I saw them on the shelf but Jus-Rol do pizza bases and also ready to bake croissants! I’ve always fancied making my own croissants but this is the next best …
The dangers of carbon monoxide – a campaign & giveaway (CLOSED)
Do you know how safe your home is? I mean, if you have small babies or toddlers then you probably have stair gates, socket safety plugs, blind cords attached to the wall; you most likely lock your door to keep your home safe when you go out; you most definitely make sure candles are blown out before you go to bed? But did you know about the silent killer? That is, carbon monoxide poisoning. Every year in the UK, over 200 people go to hospital with suspected carbon monoxide poisoning, and around 40 people die (with the elderly and small …
