Friday Favourites – If Dads Are Irrelevant Moms Are To Blame
| April 29, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Friday Features, Misc |
I have a massive amount of respect for Annie, from PHD in Parenting. She’s an incredible activist and a parenting “guru†I’m actually willing to listen to, because for a start, she actually has children. I very nearly met her in Germany last year and I’m still disappointed that we didn’t make it to Berlin… more
A Reader Asks – Tips For Travelling With A Baby
| April 28, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Travel, Travel Tips |
You had done so much traveling with your daughter by the time she was 12 months old I am wondering if you have time to share any advice with me? (Jane no longer co-sleeps, but still breastfeeds her 10 month old who does not use a pacifier.) We are planning on traveling to London from… more

Just back from six months abroad, we felt it was time for a holiday – well, actually, we decided the inlaws really needed a visit, or they’d not recognise Ameli when they saw her again. So, off we went to Somerset for two weeks. Ameli and I did a lot of foraging, exploring and visiting… more

Foraging for Food – Ramson (Wild Garlic) And Ricotta Gnocchi
| April 24, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Food, Foraging for Food, Spring, Summer |
Wild garlic is simply delicious stuff. In the spring it has a much milder taste than late in the summer, and unlike it’s commercial counterpart, you eat the leaves and the flowers, not the bulb (although you could). more

Friday Favourites – 7 Resolutions For Baby Number Two
| April 22, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Friday Features |
Every now and then, Mr. Husband makes a comment about it being time for #2. Baby, that is. We’re not that kind of couple. He’ll say something about a sibling for Ameli. Or make a comment about wanting another baby. Or something undisguised like that. And while I applaud his openness, willingness and all that,… more
Setting Up A Toddler Room
| April 21, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Milestone Moments, Misc, On Mama's Mind, Sponsored |
Well, from the back of the room somewhere, I can just about hear a voice going, “So what’s the big deal? It’s not like you’ve never done this before!†And that would be rather the point. We have never done this before. We did try to set up a nursery. I painted Peter Pan pictures,… more

Well, I’m guessing this is all types of illegal, and if you don’t hear from me again – I may be in prison. But hopefully not. Ameli and I were invited to watch the preview of the new Winnie the Pooh movie in Leicester Square last week. There was no red carpet and there were… more
Well, I’m guessing this is all types of illegal, and if you don’t hear from me again – I may be in prison. But hopefully not.
Ameli and I were invited to watch the preview of the new Winnie the Pooh movie in Leicester Square last week. There was no red carpet and there were no celebrities, but, you know, it was pretty cool anyway.

It was so beautifully done, the animation, the story, the characters – my absolute favourite thing was how the characters sometimes ‘strolled’ through the book. See the picture I risked my freedom to show you?*
