Happy Birthday to the most timid big foxy boy you ever did meet 🦊 official good boy status, minus the shoe theft, sofa slumber and moooing (it’s a thing, he moos like a cow when he wants something. Not a howl. He moos..)

The littlest moments really are the biggest ones 🥹

Are you the parent you thought you would be before having children?

AD | I’m not naturally an organised person (ask literally anyone I’ve ever met) but I’ve had to learn the importance of routine the hard way. Set times and lists are the only way I can just about keep my head above water with work and family life! 18 year old me, wouldn’t recognise mum-me, mum-me has learned to get better at things my brain is basically allergic to, for the greater good and routine makes me feel safe. I guess it’s the same for my children?

Jemima’s bedtimes and mealtimes are super strict and it’s taken a lot of sleep deprivation and practice to get here but we are finally finding consistency. I looked to every bit of help on the internet for guidance and it turns out, what works for one baby - might not work for yours! Who’d have thought?!

This is why - I’m genuinely so pleased to see pampersuk_ire bring out their sleep challenge this month. If you purchase a promotional pack of pampers pants, you get one months FREE access to their smart sleep coach app. This isn’t about sleep training, this is about building a personalised routine that works for you and your baby with the help of registered experts. This normally costs £24.99 a month so it’s worth a go for the price of a packet of nappies you’d usually buy anyway. If by the second month, you aren’t seeing results - there’s a money back guarantee!! So from one mum crawling out the trenches of sleep deprivation by her fingernails to you, do consider getting a little bit of support (in this case for FREE) with your little one’s sleep. If it doesn’t work, you’ve lost nothing. And if it does? Yay!!

Either way, if no one’s told you today I will - you’re doing amazing, hang in there 😘☺️

Episode 3: Halloumi & Butternut Squash Curry w Rice
INGREDIENTS: (serves 2)
1 sachet of microwave rice
70g curry paste (I used a tikka masala paste pot)
1 tin of coconut milk
200g halloumi cut into cubes
2 handfuls of frozen butternut squash
METHOD:
To a very hot pan with a little oil, add the halloumi cubes and fry for 2 minutes until golden and crispy.
Then add the curry paste and butternut squash, mix and add the coconut milk.
Allow the coconut milk to bubble, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Meanwhile, microwave the rice according to packet instructions.
Once the butternut squash is heated all the way through (approx 4 minutes on high), you’re done. Season to taste.
That’s it!
Serve!

Episode 1: Veggie Bolognese w Crispy Gnocchi (serves 2)
INGREDIENTS:
500g gnocchi
200g vegetarian mince (I used straight from frozen)
1 jar of any tomato based pasta sauce (I used tomato & mascarpone)
1 good handful of grated cheese
A good drizzle of olive oil to finish (I used )
METHOD:
Get 2 frying pans really hot with a drizzle of oil or butter and add the mince to one and the gnocchi to the other.
Fry the mince for a couple of minutes and then add the pasta sauce, top up the empty jar with a little water and add that too.
Meanwhile keep shuffling the gnocchi around so it browns and goes crispy on all sides.
Once the bolognese is piping hot, spoon the mixture into bowls and sprinkle over the cheese - then top with the gnocchi and finish with a drizzle of olive oil. Season if you wish and that’s it!
Serve!
