Today I’m posting something slightly different – I’ve shared a DITL (or day-in-the-life) vlog of my normal day as a Mum of two under three. I’ll be chatting our routine, what the baby and toddler eats, taking a trip to the park and showing when it all goes wrong too… have a watch and let

Finally, I’ve filmed another video! We’ve had a little break after Pearl was born but I’m back on the Youtube bandwagon at last! Today we are talking all about WEANING! I absolutely love this phase with babies! It’s my second attempt at weaning and so far Pearl is LOVING her food, although sometimes I feel

Weaning: First Food Adventures – preparing to wean again!
Post written in paid partnership with Organix As Pearl is nearly three months old, it really won’t be long until we start weaning again – can you believe it?! I’ve made it no secret that weaning was one of the harder parts of parenting. Firstly, I’m a rubbish cook and secondly Violet is a really

Weaning: Why our children are vegetarians #NoJunkJourney
Post written in paid partnership with Organix I’ve shared a huge amount of our weaning journey with Violet on the blog, but I’ve not ever talked about our decision to raise our children as vegetarians, so I thought I’d chat about this today. This isn’t just about not eating meat but also how we always

Weaning: 5 Things I’d do differently next time
I’m sure you’ve seen my recent posts (mainly of frustration!) around weaning Violet and her journey with eating. She is not a big eater and is extremely fussy, which has been a real surprise to me. I naively thought as I eat a huge variety of foods, flavours and spices, she would too – after

Top tips for family meal times & a giveaway with Portmeirion
If I could say which element of parenting I find the most stressful, I’d say anything to do with eating, for sure. Give me a full on toddler temper tantrum to deal with over a spilt bowl of macaroni cheese any day. Violet hasn’t been the easiest baby to wean – I think the combination

Do you know whats REALLY in your baby and toddler snacks? #FoodYouCanTrust
Sponsored post with Organix There is no doubt in saying that weaning is a total minefield. For me, it’s been one of the most daunting parts of being a new Mum. It’s only been as Violet has turned a year I’ve finally relaxed and feel confident in what I’m doing, yet clearly with 8 months weaning

Weaning: Introducing the new HiPP Organic Buddies & Pouches!
If you’ve been following our weaning journey so far, you’ll know it’s been a) a bumpier ride than I prepared for and b) Violet is turning into a way fussier eater than I expected, seeing as I’ve always been a good eater, even as a child. The whole thing has taken me by surprise to

Weaning: Uh Oh – have we got a fussy eater?!
It’s time for a WELL overdue weaning update! Violet is now 10 months and well on the road to eating solids, but I have to say it’s been a much trickier journey than I ever imagined. As Violet reaches 10 months, she is becoming a really fussy, picky eater which I really didn’t expect as

Weaning: Trying new tastes & textures with Organix #NoJunkJourney
I can’t believe Violet is 8 months old now! It’s time for another update on her weaning journey as it seems in the last couple of weeks she’s made some amazing progress on her quest to solids! You may have seen my previous posts, at 5 months we started her gently on some purees and

Weaning: First Tastes and Reactions (& win a Weaning hamper!)
I can’t believe it but Violet’s been weaning around a month now and I can safely say we are getting well and truly into the swing of things after I felt TOTALLY overwhelmed at the start. Weaning isn’t what I expected before I actually tried it, I thought I’d be doing the ‘Baby Led Weaning’
