Ioan has just this week decided that the bath is something to be feared, and so I am now unable to write my blog posts from the bathroom whilst I watch him play. Oh well, it was a good couple of weeks while it lasted, and I am hoping to keep blogging now I have […]

Menu planning with my new cookbook ‘Get your kids to eat anything’
My food blogger pal Emily Leary, who writes a fantastic blog called A Mummy Too, recently published a cookbook called ‘Get your kids to eat anything‘, and kindly sent me a copy to review. It couldn’t come at a better time, as Ioan has literally this week started to test boundaries at the dining table. […]

Meal planning during a hectic couple of weeks
Last week ended up not being entirely to plan: leek lasagne turned into Spag Bol (Quorn version for my vegetarian brother); I let the potatoes over-boil on Thursday and the mashed potato was too salty, leaving them inedible; and a little accident for Ioan on Friday (bashing his mouth, leading to a chipped front tooth) […]

Baking double chocolate cookies with a toddler – a photo guide
The other day, when Ioan and I were at home together and it was freezing cold and starting to snow outside, I decided that instead of venturing out, I’d bake some cookies with him. Call it greedy, call it fortunate, but there is rarely a basic baking recipe where all the ingredients aren’t already in […]
Happy New Year 2018
Hey, it’s me! Remember me? Tracy from It’s Not Easy Being Greedy? The greedy blogger with a young baby? Last time I wrote anything was last October, so I can understand if you have forgotten about me … Truth be told, this motherhood and working lark leaves little time for blogging. I have had the […]
Week 43 – on the road to recovery
I think one of the only things that is worse than you feeling ill is when your helpless child is poorly and there is nothing you can do about it. Ioan’s feverish, clinging misery from the last couple of weeks was hard to cope with, as the only thing that soothed him was to be […]
Week 42 – stuck underneath a poorly baby
So it turns out that it is actually quite hard to do anything when your baby is poorly and only wants to be held by you ALL THE TIME. Not since Ioan was a newborn have I had to dig out the sling and carry him around so that I can do simple things like […]
Thoughts on being a (greedy) mum – months 9-12
If anything should give you an indication of how motherhood sucks up your time, the fact that Ioan is now 14 months old and I am only writing about his 9th month is a sign. I decided it’s probably better to group months 9-12 as even though tons has happened every single month, I don’t […]
Week 36 – a rainbow christening cake
You know how they say that all the best laid plans go to waste? Well that’s kind of what happened with me last week. On Monday lunchtime I ate my pre-made couscous with roasted veggies, and on Monday night we all had homemade fish pie for dinner. But by 11pm I was vomiting my way […]
Week 35 – I’m back!
Well hello, my name’s Tracy. I used to write a food blog called ‘It’s not easy being greedy‘, and then I had a baby who basically stole all my time, and suddenly week 23 turns into week 35 and I’ve finally got five minutes to try and update my little bit of space on the […]
