Grandparents

BG is really lucky to have two sets of Grandparents that love her very, very much and though sometimes that can be a bit overwhelming it’s a good thing. She can be spoilt at times by them, but with clothes and books rather than toys or sweet treats.
You see BG’s Grandparents realise that they way [...]

I thought to myself how cruel to [...]

Come Dine With Me

On Sunday me, BG and my other half all sat down at the table for a lovely family dinner, sounds quite natural for most families but we don’t do it very often.
I try and make sure that me and BG eat breakfast and lunch together every day, I think it helps with her feeding if [...]

Maybe Baby – the top 29 things to do before you start a family

Kids Kitchen 2

For my first column this year I have chosen something healthy. Fresh River Cobbler fillets are also cheap which is a godsend when you have a family to feed. River Cobbler is mild without that strong fishy taste so it makes it a perfect fish for young ones to try. In this recipe, the fish [...]
