All of the suggestions below are things that have been … Continue reading INTRODUCING THE BOYS: The little things we did..

When we could finally tell our nearest and dearest the amazing news that we were having a bubba, they were all super excited and over the moon for us but their attentions quickly turned to Rupert. Honestly, we never thought that so many people would respond along the lines of “oh my goodness that’s amazing” … Continue reading Congratulations! Oh wait… what about Rupert?

I have an extremely active child, we nickname Sophia the Duracell Bunny as she literally doesn’t stop unless she is asleep. Recently I have been encouraging ‘quiet time’ where we read books in her cosy tee pee setting, she calls for Frank to join us and he happily sits with us. Everyday we slightly increase the time we spend in there and can now spend half an hour to 40 minutes chilling out. It’s also the perfect activity if it is raining outside. ⠀ If you have an active child like mine, I have really found this encourages them to be calm and balance their energy which I think benefits both Sophia and myself⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #frenchiesofinstagram #frenchiesofinsta #frenchiesofig #frenchbullies #bulliesofinsta #instabullies #dogsofinstagram #babyanddog #toddleractivity #activetoddler #quiettime #teepee #nurseryideas #nurserydecor #babiesofinstagram #toddlersofinstagram #toddlersofig #dogsandtoddlers #besties #cute #love #petsandkiddos

It’s all about early morning walks for puggy at the moment before it gets too hot, and actually it’s a great excuse to get up and out. Just one of the many benefits of having a dog in your life ❤️ . . . . . . #mansbestfriend #childrenandpets #pet #petsofinstagram #dogsoflondon #familydog #animals #pugsofinstagram #ukpugs #pug_feature #puglife #puglifestyle #boyandhisdog

With all of us back in the same city we decided to celebrate, make the most of the weather and head to @chichiscoffeeandwaffle which has great coffee, lovely staff and DELICIOUS waffles. We’ve been fans of this place since it opened not that long ago but now we’re even bigger fans as they have a cute new outside seating area so you can now bring your pooch along too. Pre kids and in fact pre dogs we would have been basking in the sun in their cool area at the front (see their page for how lovely it is). However today we decided to hide around the corner in the shade as it was just too hot for the kids and dogs ☀️ This afternoon really has given us hope of the summer to come, parenting is definitely is just that little bit easier when the suns out . . . . #northlondondogs #dogsoflondon #dogfriendlylondon #dogfriendly #mumlife #motherhood #kidsanddogs #familyfriendly #supportlocal #smallbusiness #northlondon #palmersgreen #winchmorehill #londonfoodguide #londonfood

While Victoria and her clan continue their trip up Norffff the baby’s arrival is imminent and there has been a lot of ‘nesting’ going on. I nearly have everything ready for the new baby but I have also been thinking about what Sophia will need when the baby is here. So i’ve been cooking some of her favourite foods and freezing them so they are ready and waiting when needed. This recipe I came up with is sweet, delicious, dairy free, it has non refined sugar and something that Sophia loves. So here is the recipe for Sophia’s Special Banana Bread: Ingredients: 1 egg 100g plain flour Maple syrup 4 tbsp dairy free butter (Pure Butter) Roughly a cup of oat milk (Oatly Barista) 2 ripe mashed bananas 20g sultanas 1 tsp baking powder Pinch of cinnamon Method: Grease loaf tin with greaseproof paper and put mixture into loaf tins. Add butter and maple syrup and mix until creamy, add a small amount of the whisked egg. Add a little bit of flour and carry on beating well then add rest of egg. Fold in the rest of the flour along with baking powder. Pour in cup of milk (use your judgment so it it not too wet but nice and fluffy mixture) Add pinch of cinnamon, sultanas (or raisins) and mashed bananas, stir so all comes together and pour into loaf tins. Bake for 30 mins on 180oc or until skewer comes out clean. *tip : cut cake into slices and wrap them individually in cling film so that your don’t have to defrost the whole cake Swipe ➡️➡️ for finished product, and slices ready to freeze! . . . . . #recipe #foodie #healthyfood #toddlerrecipe #bananabread #nonrefinedsugar #dairyfree #cake #toddlerlife #toddler #inspo #babyprepping
