Best coffee purchase & Pages

Hi all,

Random post today regarding coffee and pages. Yes these are separate items, in case you are confused!

Random coffee purchase is as per pic below. Ahead of sleep training week, I figured I may be up A LOT, and therefore I would need a caffeine kick to keep me going during the day. So I invested in some decent, easy to make, no fuss coffee. And it's brilliant!

So, for all tired Mum's out there, this gets my vote. You just pour in water, like you would if making a cup of tea from a tea bag - except this is really good filter coffee instead. Yum.

There is no mess, and nothing to clean - and no stupid cup thing you have to put on top and wait for it to filter through. You simply pop in a 'coffee bag' and dispose of it afterwards. Simple.

N.B. It will say 'Good Morning' on the one on the left when it's on the supermarket shelf - that in itself is rather nice to be told every day - even if it is by your coffee! (don't worry - each coffee bag is individually wrapped, so it still says it on there) - little things...!

On the subject of 'pages' - this is because I have started adding pages to my blog to make some things easier to find. I decided to do this as I figured some topics would probably be more permenant features of interest than others, so, for example, I have added a page for 'The Kitchen' - as this will be a feature of great importance and much chat for a while, so you have an easy link to refer back to.

I have done the same for controlled crying - so my Mummy friends can just click on there if this is something they are struggling with, but it saves my non Mummy friends having to read about it!

OK, so that's it for now. Off to work we go. More randomness to follow soon :)

Wondermum Makes - Tegenarium - Spider House!

My Mum isn't a lover of spiders and unfortunately she passed this fear unwittingly onto Roar when he was small. She didn't want him to stay afraid and so one Christmas, she bought him a Spider House Kit. Between us we hoped he would learn about them and watch one and see they spend a lot of their time motionless and aren't really that scary. Don't get me wrong, I don't love it when a spider scuttles too close, but it's usually the shock of something scuttling into view that's more 'scary' than the spider itself. Well, that's what I tell myself anyway! We have no poisonous spiders to worry about so there really isn't anything to fear (although I know that isn't the same everywhere). We've had this Spider House Kit tucked away in a box for at least a couple of years as Roar was initially not keen. However, in Lockdown all the 'kits' are coming out and so has this one and, what's more, he's LOVED IT! He has l...

Wonder Mum Makes - 7 Step No-Sew Teddy Bear :)

Today is my own Wonder Mum's birthday and so M came up with this idea as something she could send her Nanny while we are all in Lockdown. Here are step-by-step instructions of how to make a no-sew Teddy bear and bring a little sunshine into your day :) Things You Will Need Small bathroom towel or a pillowcase 3 x small rubber bands or loom bands Your own choice of ribbon or decoration e.g. wool / string / elastic etc. A clear, flat working area Instructions Step 1 Lay out your towel or pillow case on your working area and fold approximately one third of the way. Step 2 Start rolling upwards from the bottom, tightly. Keep doing this until roughly half way. Step 3 Repeat from the top so that you end up with the two tightly rolled sections meeting in the middle, like two sausages. Step 4 This is the tricky one as it's two steps in one. Fold your sausages across on themselves, as if you were c...

Wondermum Bakes, Makes & Creates! - Vegan Chocolate-coated Cookie Dough Balls

Further to my Kids Kitchen post, I thought I would share one of our latest efforts - vegan chocolate coated cookie dough balls - yum :) These are delicious and very moreish and crucially, something our littlest will eat. Looking at him now, he appears a cheeky chubby little cherub and looks the picture of health, but what you don't see is how difficult it has been to get calories into him with his multiple food allergies and initially severe GORD (difficulties keeping food in). So having high calorie allergy safe foods he will eat is a constantly evolving part of our journey with our Cub :) We made these two ways - initially just following a fairly basic dough recipe and then adapting it to make it more vitamin enriched so see also my second post for the vitamin enriched version. Recipe The basic recipe we adapted from one of our favourite You Tuber bakers - Cupcake Gemma - so here is a link to her original (non-vegan recipe) which we then adapted https://www.youtu...
