#AD Ever feel like despite your best intentions, #AD Ever feel like despite your best intentions, you get to the end of the week and have wasted food. We're making a conscious effort here as a family to change this, for our planet and our purse. Jacob’s Crackers @jacobsofficialuk have challenged me to make the most of what I already have in my fridge and pantry using up leftovers to make something yummy. With just 3 ingredients, I made this quick and easy tzatziki dip (cucumber and yoghurt dip) to make a filling snack on store cupboard staple: delicious Jacob's Crackers. Ingredients: 4 tablespoons of yoghurt (I used Greek Yoghurt but any works) 1/2 a cucumber, diced 2 tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Method: Pour the yoghurt into a small bowl. Add the cucumber and drizzle with the olive oil. Stir well. Dollop onto crackers. Makes 8 crackers. 4 shown.

Happy 13th birthday to my OG baby, Oliver! I offic Happy 13th birthday to my OG baby, Oliver! I officially now have a teen and a toddler in my life!! Help. No wonder I’m so tired. Oliver, thank you for making me a mum and teaching me so much. The day you were born saw West London covered in a blanket of snow (a rarity) which made it all the more surreal to suddenly meet you, early, and via an emergency C-section. You certainly made an entrance and it meant so much to me that years later you demonstrated deep empathy when I shared with you that your birth was traumatic and it took me a while to recover from. You have always known how loved you are and how much you’ve enriched mine, Daddy and the whole family’s lives. You were certainly born an old soul, wise beyond your years and now you’re more like an 18 year old than 13 and I love that you’re my son and also my best friend. I know one day (maybe soon) that you’ll be embarrassed to walk beside me so I’ll cherish these times we can hang out, laugh at the same jokes and watch TV we both love (Stath Lets Flats, Wednesday and People Do Nothing, being just some of our faves)…School comes easy to you and I’m so proud that you’re a straight A student (effortlessly so, so don’t rest on your laurels) but most of all I want you to be happy and I’m so relieved you’ve settled into your new school and have made great friends. Your resilience in the face of several school moves and recently a return to Yorkshire shows great maturity and strength of character. Keep being kind (even when your siblings annoy you) and know that you can achieve anything you set your mind to. Here’s to the best year yet! Parents of teens, please share any advice in the comments, I know if I’m anything to go by, these years will be fun but also challenging at times! #honestmum #parenting #momofthree #mumofthree #motherhood #honestparenting #family #teen #toddlerlife #kidsofinstagram

Happy holidays, folks 💝! I’ve barely looked a Happy holidays, folks 💝! I’ve barely looked at my phone these past few days which has been a blissful tech time-out for me so I could fully focus on the family, making memories (and getting merry 😜). My husband, Peter, took these photos I’ve shared here and on the blog to diarise Christmas 22 and to also say some heartfelt thank yous to those who made it so special and who have been incredibly kind all year round. Huge thanks to everyone below: the generous Shoshana of @fusecomms for the @emile.et.rose festive outfit of dreams for Florence (I matched the chic black bows on the tights with a big velvet bow in her hair, @dottyfish for the sweet red leather shoes, @petiteamelie for the most wonderful wooden kitchen (age 3+ so we supervise play), my Mum for the delicious feast (we’re still eating days later) and my talented pal @emma.white.jewellery of @the.jewellery.makers for my beautiful rose gold heart earrings. Off for another lie down now. Feel free to share your hangover cures in the comments, this mama is definitely a lightweight after 3 kids! Help! #christmas #festive #toddlerstyle #babygirl #mumlife #mumofthree #christmasday #christmasdayoutfit #merrychristmas #christmas2022 #exploremore #explorepage

Check out the @lidlgb’s fabulous Lupilu baby range of products and snacks we packed for Florence’s first festive sleepover. Lupilu’s award-winning range really has everything we need for a comfortable, relaxed night away and meant we could travel with ease. From nappies to wipes and the Lupilu bedtime bath and shampoo, packing all the essentials meant that Florence stuck to her nighttime routine even when we were away from home. Have you tried them yet?  #Lupilu #LupiluByLidl #toddlerlife #toddler #babygirl #christmas #friends #travel #christmastime #winter #newyear #holidays #family #mum #mumtips #parentingexpert #babiesofinstagram
