No More Bland Baby Food // For Aisha Review & Giveaway

    I’ve talked before about our weaning journey with Luisa, to recap she was slow to start and generally unimpressed with actual baby food – preferring ‘real’ food, for grown ups. Looking back, that’s the point when I should have realised she was going to grow up to be an opinionated pain in my neck! Just to further keep me on my toes Lu has now decided, aged 2 years and 3 months that she’s a fan of pouches. Go figure. She calls them a ‘treat’ and who am I to argue?     About a year and half ago…

Lessons Learnt From a Year Of Weaning

If you’ve been paying attention lately you’ll know Luisa has come up to a year of weaning. I can hardly believe it’s been that long, to be honest. This will be our last instalment as part of the HiPP Organic Wean Team but I’m sure I’ll be rabbiting on about Luisa’s diet for years to come.     I find it hard to see myself as having any kind of wisdom to impart when it comes to parenting. I still feel very much live a novice. But I’ve gotten this far so I must have something vaguely informative to share! Our…

Family Meal Time With HiPP Organic

It’s almost the end of the month so that means it’s time for another Wean Team update. A few weeks ago HiPP Organic sent us out some samples of their toddler meal trays including a few that were new to us. Luisa particularly enjoys all the ‘Ristorante La Mama’ range which even includes baby cannelloni! Cute or what?     The HiPP Organic tray meals are healthy and nourishing with a variety of tastes and textures to encourage the progression to family foods. Did you know that they are the only brand to offer pasta shapes? (zoo animals, alphabet letters,numbers) There’s quite…

The l.o.n.g summer is drawing to a close and that means all our little clubs and groups will be starting back very soon. Don’t get me wrong I’ve had a lovely summer but it can really drag when your other half is at work 8 hours a day and you’ve no real respite. I can’t wait to get back into our little routine of baby clubs and swimming classes. The chance to enjoy at least half a cup of tea whilst…

Summer Moments With HiPP Organic — Giveaway

It seems like summer is finally here, we’ve had a few days of nice weather and there’s that buzz in the air that comes with the school holidays. Despite the fact that Lu is a long way from needing a school bag all the shops and cafes are busy with little ones and I like seeing the parks busy during the day. Lu loves it when we run into other children for her to blow kisses to.   I’m really noticing how grown up Luisa is recently for a few reasons. Firstly, she’s having a lot of opportunities to play…
