Who’s on Pole? ~ Book Review

Who’s on Pole? ~ Book Review

When your Daddy loves Motorsport and is a Motorsport photographer it is inevitable that you will end up at least watching it with him at some stage! The fact you love it as much as he does is just a bonus (for him) and an added worry for Mummy.  So, as you can imagine, when a book is released that incorporates both numbers AND Motorsport - you were destined to have it, right?!?  Enter 'Who's on Pole?'  A cleverly written children's rhyming count to ten book written by Monica … [Read more...]

5 Delicious & Nutritious Toddler (Approved) Lunch Ideas

I am really lucky in the fact that Sebastian loves food and is a really good eater. However, recently I had lost all sorts of inspiration when it came to making lunches. I had fallen into the routine of making the same thing everyday. I’ve spent a bit of time this last week thinking how I can revamp our lunches. I say “our” because at the end of the day I like to eat lunch with Sebastian, and the easier that is to achieve the more likely it happens. I also wanted to come up with lunches that … [Read more...]

From The Munch Cupboard ~ Munch Baby Feeding Tray

The recent delivery from the Munch Cupboard of the Munch Baby Feeding Tray couldn't be more perfectly timed as little Miss Isabelle at 4 1/2 months is starting to get ideas about solids. My first thought to that is... Stop! Where did my baby go? And then I remember whilst I sure do love the teeny tiny newborn stage I am even more in love with her now than I was then. Then I start thinking about whipping out the blender and making my own baby food again. Don't get me wrong I am all for the … [Read more...]

Play Idea ~ Summer Snow

"Today, the lovely Charlene from Teacher by trade, Mother by nature  is joining the Always Made With Love family and sharing a super fun messy play idea with you all. This one is perfect for all the hot, sunny Summer days we having been having here in the Southern hemisphere and one to file away for warmer days (for those of you in the North). I love the simplicity of it, which has meant I have already been able to do this with Sebastian - he had a ball!"   Hello Always Made With … [Read more...]
