365-196 to 365-202 A Week in Pictures
| July 28, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Mamatography, Projects |
Week seven of our travels, and it’s all coming to a rapid end. We can feel the road weariness slowly inveloping us – strange having just spent a week relaxing like we’ve not done on any other holiday. We’ve seen great things this week and learned a lot about Western preconceptions about things we really… more
Bickiepegs – A Teething Alternative
| July 26, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Better For Babes, Competitions, Products, Reviews |
Teething has always been a problem for my little girl. From eight weeks old she’s suffered on and off, and at nine months she has four teeth. We have tried everything natural, and have had great success with various teething products, but I’m always happy to try different natural alternatives. Our most recent trial has… more
Just Have to Share – Bosnian Borek (Meat Pitas)
| July 25, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Favourite Recipes I Have To Share, Food |
We spent last week with my sister and her boyfriend and his family in Croatia, where his Bosnian mother cooked us three meals a day unless we went out.

Green People – Nappy Cream Baby Balm
| July 19, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Better For Babes, Competitions, Products, Reviews, Top Picks |
My daughter was born peacefully and gently in a home water birth. We left the vernix on her to dry naturally, and didn’t give her a proper bath until she was two days old. She had beautiful, porcelain skin. By the time she was five days old, however, she looked as though we had dragged… more
Just Have to Share – Zucchini Flowers (Courgettes)
| July 18, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Favourite Recipes I Have To Share, Food, Foraging for Food, Seasonal Cooking, Summer |
I love zucchini flowers. They don’t taste much like zucchini’s, or courgettes as they’re known in England, but instead have a flavour entirely unique.
