Tuna Cutlets

Well hello again... Yes, I’m back from the land of the living dead and no, I wasn’t gone forever contrary to what you may have thought! I know I’ve to get my act together and stop this disappearing nonsense once and for all. But you’ll never believe how busy I’ve been the last month and my blog has always been at the back of my mind, slowly gnawing its way in front until the...

First Came Love, Then Came Marriage…

Then came YOU! Watching my husband and son together always melts my heart. It's a reminder that because I fell in love with him, we have him. Three years ago yesterday R and I tied the knot.  My how time flies. I'm not going to do the super sappy anniversary blog post where I tell R that he's my best friend and the man of my dreams because I'm sure I've said...

5pm Panic - Tasty Toast

Issac is often really tired and hungry after a fun packed day at day care when he gets home, so the meal I offer him needs to be easy to eat and not challenge his dislikes, as the last thing I want is a meltdown. I'm sure all mums and dads need a repertoire of tasty quick meals that can be put together in a matter of minutes. Ideally they still need to give your little...

Pumpkin & Raisin Bread

I can't believe we are into the 3rd week of October already. Life seems to be just passing me by and I feel like 24 hours a day is just not enough. Juggling work and family is definitely not easy as I thought it would be. And it definitely does not get easier when someone or the other keeps falling sick in your household. Both R and I have used up all...

DIY Mickey/Minnie Mouse Birthday Banner

Here’s the long promised tutorial on how to make your own Mickey/Minnie Mouse Birthday Banner.  I’m sorry I don’t have step by step pictures, which I know would have made this tutorial a whole lot easier to follow. But I made this banner over a couple of weeks (not that it takes that long, I just didn't have the time) and I wasn't organised enough....

Hey Everyone!

So let's be honest. I've been pretty lazy about this blogging thing lately. Well, lazy maybe isn't  the right word -- I just haven't had the time to say it. So I've let this slide in a serious way. But when I was feeling guilty about being a lousy blogger the other day I remembered the reason I started this in the first place: to give all working moms a place to find quick and easy recipes to feed their kids without the guilt of not...

Oreo Pops

I saw these Oreo pops first in one of the photos of Nolan Paper Airlines {First Birthday Party}. I knew I had to make these the moment I laid my eyes on them. How cool do they look? Oreo pops are one of my favorite miniature treats. A few bites of Oreo goodness, coated in chocolate, on a stick - super cute, delicious, and unbelievably easy to make. Oreo...

Issac & Annabelle's Mickey & Minnie Mouse Birthday Party

OK, first things first. I’m  really sorry to have just disappeared  for so long without any updates but blame it all on the total madness in my life right now. The past month has been a roller coaster ride for me and my family in more ways than one. Just to give you a quick update into my life over the last month, so you’ll understand & hopefully forgive...

Stage 4 (10-12 months)

Your 10-12 Month old baby has probably found a few foods that are truly their favorite foods. At this point, chunkier "table foods" are a big part of his meals and he or she may not like those thinner purees anymore. With his independence growing, he may also begin to show preferences for certain foods and refuse to be spoon fed. Take heart - while this stage of eating may be a bit frustrating, it won't last forever. Giving your baby the opportunity...

Stage 3 (8-10months)

By now your baby may be eating 3 "meals" a day and possibly enjoying a snack or 2 in between. Don't fret if your baby is doing only one solid meal a day still. Just make sure you follow his hunger cues and slowky try and incorporate 3 meals into his day. At this stage even though baby's milk is still important, it can take a backseat to his solid meals. You can offer your baby his solids first and then his milk. According to Plunket, at this...

Stage 2 (6-8 months)

If your 6 month - 8 month old baby is just starting solids at this stage, start slowly, preparing a very small amount of whatever food you have chosen to begin with. Offer milk to your baby first and then offer your little one solids. It's important to remember that baby's milk continues to be more important than solids at this age - don't worry when baby won't eat more than a few bites. Your baby might still prefer mushy pureed food, up...

Stage 1 (4-6 months)

This page should give you an idea about what foods you can start your babies on that are safe, healthy and nutritious. Remember there is no "set in stone", "right" way for starting solids. Follow your gut and also let...

Corn Chowder

Not sure if you know, but I have a darling niece Annabelle (Annu) who's just a month younger than Issac. She is an absolute doll, and I'm not exaggerating. She is the cutest baby girl I've ever seen. She doesn't smile easily at strangers like Issac but when she does, Oh my God, it could melt a rock! Even though we are in the same country, it still...
