Jack's Fake Food Menu

Me and Jack have been looking at these healthy eating pyramids to see if what we eat is balanced. We were glad to see that most of the time we do eat a balanced and healthy diet! So we had a look at the kinds of meals we usually eat and thought about what fake food we could make.

What's on our fake food menu?

Well.... For breakfast we have some multi grain cereal, and a banana.

For lunch we have a ham and salad sandwich, some fruit juice, and an apple (and we're adding a cheese to bump up the dairy).

And for our dinner we are serving up either pasta with tomato sauce, or chicken, mash and mixed veg. It's not 100% settled yet (might wind up being both!)

What are we going to make them out of?

We're going to mix it up a bit I think! We saw some FAB felt play food as made by Munchkin and Bean and thought "We can do that!" so I think there will be plenty of felt in there. We loved making papier mache in the last project so that's bound to come back, and I think we might be mixing paint and glue for milk and sauce!

Romance

Now, we don't really do Romance, Yorkie and I. We're not the sort of couple that goes to posh restraunts, buy hearts and flowers on a whim etc, but last night we had a really sweet night. We didn't really do much that was classically romantic, it was the mood, the feeling in the air, if you know what I mean....? I cooked us steaks for tea, which is always a winner for Yorkie (his second fav after anything pork) and had the candles lit in the front room. Not that I was going for a romantic atmosphere, I just like to have candles lit on cold dark nights. We snuggled up on the settee together, watching nothing much on telly, all warm and cozy under a blanket, with the cat curled up o us. We'd been talking a little bit about the wedding and stuff, and about what my doc had said to me about what to do before we start a family. Yorkie's eyes went all soft and sweet, he was hugging me close and saying all the right kind of sweet thinks that I love to hear. It was on

International Babywearing Week

This is AWESOME! And I didn't even know about it until this year! International Babywearing Week ! I am a big fan of babywearing, although my journey to comfortable, workable babywearing was a slow one. With Jack and Tom I tried a variety of strap and buckle slings and they never really suited us. I gave up with them and thought that babywearing was for other people. Then when I had Georgie my step-mum gave me a Moby cloth wrap sling that she had found at a car boot sale. It came with a book of instructions for how to tie the sling and how to fit baby in safely and comfortably. I gave it a try. Georgie loved it. I loved it. I was totally sold! So from then on when ever I went shopping, or on the school run with the older boys, or to visit friends, or anything.... I popped Georgie in the Moby Wrap. He was comfortable, warm, close to my heart and his much loved boobies (I breastfeed), he could see the world around him, and was a very very happy baby! When I found out

Tom wanted a go at cooking this week. And beef kofta curry was his choice! Big helping hand from mum but he worked had and we had fun singing in the kitchen while we cooked. This "teaching life skills" is alright you know
