This month I was paired with the lovely Jessi from Doctorate Housewife, who revealed that she resides in Brussels, Belgium, so I was looking forward to some yummy Belgian treats! Well my wishes came true: Crisps! I love crisps. These are a new pesto & mozzarella flavour, I haven’t got around to trying them yet but I think I’m going to tonight. The crackers I’m going to try some sprinkled over a potato & bacon casserole like Jessi suggested, and then the rest I will snack on! I had the hazelnut bar of chocolate last night – yum! I’m looking forward …

Problem eater
Up until recently, little man has been a really good eater. When we first started weaning we went the traditional route with spoon feeding & purees and a little bit of him feeding himself, then I realised it was much easier to BLW so mostly turned to that. The first few weeks he would usually only eat the sweet things that were offered to him but now he loves allsorts, and usually attempts stealing our food too! His favourite food seems to be cheese! The last week or two though, he has been really fussy. Practically everything you give him or put on …
#foodiepenpals – January reveal
This month I was paired with Anne over at Random Things Through My Letterbox. I had a little chuckle to myself when I saw her location, as we live rather close, in towns next to each other, and were paired randomly! How odd! Anyhow, I received my lovely package, and was rather excited to see it full of goodies. I had some fondant icing in there, which will come in handy for little man’s birthday cupcakes! The Mr Tom peanut bars, I haven’t those for ages and had forgotten how yummy they were. I’ve demolished one so far. The apple, blueberry, plum …
Foodie Penpals – September reveal
When our foodie penpals came through for September, I was incredibly excited to see that mine was the lovely Carol-Anne from Rock Salt, yes, the “leader of the pack” over this side of the water! My package arrived and it was wrapped up in some lovely paper, but I didn’t get a pic as I was too excited to open it, as I always am! My first response on opening the box was ‘ooooh’ (again, as always). She has taken all my likes into consideration and I was delighted with the contents. So in there, I came across two packets of …
#foodiepenpals – August Reveal
The foodie penpal I was paired with this month was Sonja (who was also away getting wed in Germany!). At the first glance when I opened the box I saw cupcake-y things which made me über excited as anyone who knows me knows I’m a bit obsessed with anything cupcake! I had told her I love to bake, especially cupcakes. So I received a pack of cupcake cases, two types of decoration, a vanilla pod (I’ve always wanted to use a proper vanilla pod!), a pack of cake wrappers, and a cute little cupcake which is now amongst my other cupcake paraphernalia in my …
