You see when you put everything in a slow cooker, you can do other stuff, cos you don’t have to watch that food cook! YAY!!
Loving parents, Unhappy Children
September 13th, 2011 In a real job situation your parent wouldn’t march up to the headmaster and demand that your place was reinstated. You would simply have to work harder in order to receive the next account. That’s life.
Onion Bhaji Recipe
September 12th, 2011 My children have recently begun trying ( and enjoying) Indian food. Not the hot stuff, mind you, but the mild, tasty food that gives them an idea of what good Indian food is about. So far, their very best are onion bhaji like these.
Aubergine or baby marrow pot luck bake
September 5th, 2011 Two vegetables I love are Aubergine and baby marrows. In this recipe you can use either, and if you are brave try both in one meal. It’s mouth-watering!

Grow your own
August 31st, 2011 I am not exactly a seasoned grower, nor a seasoned gardener, but there is something to be said for the satisfaction derived from planting seeds, nurturing them, and then putting the produce on the table for your family to eat, that I just get a huge kick out of.
The Lions in Bournemouth
August 26th, 2011 There are various artworks around Bournemouth that I am enjoying seeing. I thought I’d post a few up here for you to see. So enjoy!
Meccano Mania
August 17th, 2011 In conclusion? Meccano is just as much for girls as it is for boys, and in our case the girls LOVE it!
Olive Quiche
August 16th, 2011 The strong olive flavour is one that all my family enjoys. We’ll eat olives with anything.
However, here we have a delicious recipe that incliudes olives and sweet red onions – how any one go wrong?
The screaming banshee Mum
July 21st, 2011 I think we are all yelling screaming banshees at some stage, but that does not define us. We are also loving, kind, thoughtful people, who, at times of great stress, lose it a a little.
You and Your Tween: Help Your Child Enjoy Their Pre-teen Years
June 9th, 2011 ‘You and your Tween’ has some valuable insights on how to handle most of the issues, if not all, but the more valuable stuff, for me, was reading the real life experiences of other parents, from the Netmums site.
5 Minute Chocolate Cake
June 7th, 2011 Great served hot or cold and ideal for the children to make. Quick, easy and takes such a little time you can almost fit it into your busy day!!
“Where Has My Little Girl Gone?” – a book
June 7th, 2011 For those of us struggling with the tweens, and particularly the female version of ourselves, this is a book recommended to all parents. I’d advise you to read it before they turn 7, and try to implement a few of the ideas as soon as possible. It’s likely this book will be well thumbed by the time they turn 13!
Cooking with children
May 24th, 2011 Little does she know it’s communication, and bonding, and family time together, probably 3 things she’ll hate to do soon, but she just thinks it’s cooking! So I’m going to cook on!
