I love this toy!!!!
Chloe has recieved it as a present for Christmas. I must say it’s a brilliant toy and both me and Chloe love it.
Chloe doesn’t like to get messy (I know its very unusual for a toddler; she obviously got OCD from her mum:-) ) and I don’t like mess.
This mat is amazing for big babies (yes I still cannot bring myself to call Chloe a toddler) who just start to learn what drawing is and how to do it. This matt has a pen which you fill with water, kids can draw on the mat with “water”( yes water ! This means no colourful marks on the floor, furniture and walls … for now anyway) and as the water dries up the drawing disappears.
I would highly recommend this !

YORKSHIRE PUDDING WITH FRUITS
This is a brilliant idea for a dessert or a snack. Yes I did say a dessert! And there are so many options to serve it!
Ingredients:
– 125g flower
– 125ml skimmed milk
– 125ml water
– 2 eggs
– handful of raspberries and blueberries
– 2 tbsp soft cream
Cooking method:
Sieve the flower in to a bowl and make a well in the centre.
Break eggs in to the well and whisk together with flower. Mix water and milk together; pour little by little in to the well. Whisk until all liquid had been used and until your batter is nice and smooth.
Chill mixture in the fridge for minimum 30min.
Preheat your oven to 180C gas /200C fan. Heat up muffin tray until hot then as tiny bit of oil in to each hole and heat again for few minutes. Pour the butter in to the holes and bake for 30 min until Yorkshires are crisp and gold.
Blend fruits together, then add soft cream and combine. 
Cool your Yorkshires then put 1 tbsp of cream on to the pud and serve.
This is a tasty and healthy dessert that your kids will love!
You can make lots of different toppings from blended banana, grated apple to just pouring kids yogurt on to it.
For the not so healthy version, you can have them with jam and custard.
I love cute and pretty baby clothes … But a woman needs a change from time to time. There is nothing cuter than baby rocking this cool rock look! This is really trendy right now with a lot of celebrities dressing their babys/kids in that way.
There is lots of lovely, cool pieces available on the high street now. This is my favourite few :

SCHABOWE (pork in breadcrumbs)WITH SWEET POTATO CHIPS & PEAS
Ingredients:
– 1 pork filet (chicken and turkey breast are brilliant as well)
– 1 sweet potato
– 50g peas
– thyme
– 1 egg
– 50g breadcrumbs
– olive oil
Cooking method:
Preheat your oven to 200C. Wash, peal and slice sweet potatoes. Put them on a baking tray and sprinkle with thyme and a little bit of olive oil. Bake for 15minutes.
Make sure that your filet is around 1 cm thick. If you are using chicken breast flatter it with a meat hammer or rolling pin.
Prepare 2 plates: on one whip an egg so it’s one consistency; on the second one put breadcrumbs.
Cover meat in egg then breadcrumbs and fry on a frying pan on a low heat for 5 minutes on each side.
Boil water and pour over frozen peas; leave for few minutes. Cooking peas in unnecessary. Peas its such a small vegetable that leaving it in a boiled water for 2 minutes defrosts it and that way it will keep all of the goodness.
For a grownup version just season the egg with slot and pepper before dipping meat in it.
Enjoy it !!!
Chloe as you all know from my blog is a very happy baby/toddler (still can’t bring myself to call ther a toddler) . She always was quite vocal, making lots of different sounds and in recent months starting to say some words.
I don’t know what happens but on Friday she got up and became a chatterbox !! She doesn’t stay quiet! She keeps talking in her baby language all the time.
I find it fascinating how overnight child can change so much ! How something in they brain “clicks” and they just start doing something ! Seeing her talk so much, and telling me long sentences (in her baby language- just to clarify 😂) got me really emotional ! I am such a proud mum!
We are both ready for Xmas jumper day! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
