I think everybody around the world knows the importance of breakfast. breakfast ˈbrɛkfəst/ noun 1. a meal eaten in the morning, the first of the day. “a breakfast of bacon and eggs” Breakfast is in fact just that, breaking the fast of the night before. It helps us to get on with our day, gives us energy, helps us think. It is especially important in helping children to reach their full potential in every area of their life. Unfortunately not all children have this privilege. That is why Send A Cow have launched a new free ebook called The Most Important Meals …

Chicken, mushroom & butternut squash risotto | Recipe
We don’t tend to eat risotto very often now as it’s time consuming and I never seem to have much of that spare anymore, but sometimes I just fancy it and like to add different ingredients for a change. We had a butternut squash in our veg box this week so I decided to add that. Of course you could also make it without chicken, I only added it in the end because hubby is a fuss pants!

Review – Plum Little Yums teething wafers

I use teething powders for him which seem to help, but when he’s really bad he won’t eat much; so when the lovely people at Plum Baby got in touch to try out some of their new Little Yums teething wafers I gladly obliged. Little Yums are light, delicious wafers made with the nutritious ancient grain buckwheat, plus fruit and veggies. They’re the perfect …

The first year, he was only a few weeks old, so he received nothing at all, and last year, he had just turned one, so he received a couple of eggs from family and some clothes from us. This year, I wanted to make it a bit more fun, so I made him a special basket full of goodies (he had no big eggs from us, as he got them from family again). (Next year, though, we will probably have an egg hunt as there will be both …
