Oh hi, remember me? I think the last time we spoke it was May, the weather was a bit ropey, Ioan had chicken pox, and I was starting to struggle with keeping my blog up to date. Fast forward five months and we’re had a wonderful summer and some excellent holidays, and I am trying […]

Cooking food that my child will actually eat
Another busy week bites the dust, and all of a sudden it’s British Summertime (not that you’d know it from the weather forecast), we’ve lost an hour but gained some daylight, and Easter is just around the corner. We had a good week this week of keeping to plan and that always pleases me, especially […]
A week of tantrums, tears, and Mother’s Day
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) […]
Meal planning Monday, and some St David’s Day recipes
*For St David’s Day recipes, scroll directly to the bottom of this post* I have had a minor revelation and discovered the best way to find time to blog is to do it in the ‘dead time’ I have every Sunday evening when Ioan has a long soak in the bath before bed. He likes […]
Yep, still more potatoes to get through
Another week, another bag of potatoes to get through … this is the problem when you try not to waste food. If you don’t remember from last week’s post, my mum left me with a few bags of potatoes to get through before she went on holiday, and we are still trying to get through […]
Another week of meal planning, and lots of potatoes
We have a busy week coming up, both for me at work (where I’ll be in the office on Thursday as well, despite usually working from home on Thursdays), and for us at home, as Andrew’s parents are coming to visit and take on the childcare duties whilst Granny Annie takes a well deserved holiday. […]
A little bit of organisation goes a long way
Hey, not sure you remember me. Lots has happened since I was last in your inbox, including GDPR (did that actually stop any of the spam in your inbox?!) and a scorching hot summer (too hot? I could do with a nice cool breeze, personally). Lots has happened in the It’s Not East Being Greedy house […]
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 […]
