Oh to be 4 years old and get to have cakes with a Princess
Scampers Soft Play – Food Review
Since having my two children you are far more likely to find me in a soft play than a fancy restarestaurant. Anything that allows me 5 minutes to drink my coffee, while it’s hot is a luxury. Once you are in these places are like casinos, no day light and you can’t go out…
Eat Real Snacks – Review
Since my youngest came along I’ve had very little sleep (sorry instagram followers I know I moan about it alot). This has led to alot snacking. So the idea of a healthier snack, that gives me that burst of energy, but with less guilt and less fat, is exactly what I need. Eat real…
Adventures in (Baby Led) Weaning
When Jess was wee I went back to work not long after she turned 6 months and her Dad did most of the weaning. They mostly followed traditional weaning so purees with a few finger foods. With me staying at home longer this time I’m trying Baby Led Weaning. The idea is that the babies…
GU Mousse Fusions- Review
I’m going to be honest from the get go here, I love chocolate mousse. Every chocolate mousse, even the really really cheap supermarket home brands. I remember being on holiday in the Algarve when I was about 11 , and I’m sure that I had chocolate mousse every single night for dessert. There’s something very…
Afternoon Tea at Dine at 29
For my first afternoon out since wee Emily was born we headed to Dine at 29 for Afternoon Tea.
Review – Peppermill Bothy
I’ve seen a few posts on various parent pages on Facebook looking for recommendations of places that are good to go with kids for lunch and Peppermill Bothy out by Blairhall is a perfect spot. Eating out with kids is not the easiest thing. Firstly you have the ticking time bomb of how long will…
A new direction
When I started writing this blog my life was a little different. Going out for meals was a leisurely thing, baking was something enjoyable that I did to pass the time. Now I have a 2 (almost 3) year old, meals out are fun but stressful, there’s only so long a 2 year old will…
Mint Aero Slices
I love a good traybake. Partly because they are easy to make but also because you can take a sneaky slice before serving them to people. I’ve been playing about with a few traybake recipes recently. This is my aero slice recipe. My boyfriend said it was too dangerous to have in the house because…
Cafe Centro Edinburgh – Review
Cafe Centro is by far and away one of my favourite places to get a quick take away lunch when I’m at work. Based on George Street Edinburgh, they do a lovely selection of pastas and pizzas for £3.95. Fantastic value I think you’ll agree. My favourite is the spaghetti arrabiata (pictured below). It’s pretty spicy…

It’s beginning to feel alot like Christmas
Well not quite but the idea of a Christmas foodies festival might get you in the mood for Christmas. Being held at the EICC on the 13th to the 15th of November it looks to be a great event. I’m personally looking forward to taking Jessie to the Elves Christmas Kitchen and also wandering around…
