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 […]

Week 23 – a killer cough
It’s kind of Sod’s law that in the week that Ioan starts to sleep so much better, both Andrew and I come down with a stinking cough and cold that means we can’t sleep! Even better, because I am breastfeeding I can’t take any medication either (although I am off to the doctor tonight for […]
Week 22 – no bangers on this barbecue
I do love a good barbecue, but my experience of good ones is somewhat limited. Although I can cook steak or burgers and bangers to perfection on a barbecue (no burnt outside / raw inside for me), some halloumi on the grill is about as adventurous as I get. Luckily our friends Darren and Laura […]
Week 21 – The Frog Restaurant by Adam Handling (review)
Sometimes when you are getting no sleep, no sleep, and more no sleep, the only answer is to go out and get drunk! Okay, that’s not quite what I did at The Frog Restaurant, but my mummy friends and I did treat ourselves to the tasting menu and drinks pairing, which was quite a lot […]
Week 20 – more new teeth and even less sleep
Just two weeks ago I posted that Ioan’s fifth and sixth teeth were making an appearance. Well, teeth seven and eight have popped out now too. I say popped out, but anyone with a teething baby will know that teeth do not just pop out. Ioan has been a crying, ear-pulling, bundle of misery, unless […]
Week 19 – the hungry games
I know that I have been eating a lot lately, but put that down to an increased appetite from breastfeeding, and no will control due to chronic lack of sleep (thanks Ioan). But only by trying to restrict my food intake have I realised how many snacks and treats I have been putting away, and […]
Week 18 – new teeth and no sleep
Little nine month old Ioan is just cutting his fifth and sixth teeth at the moment, and these ones seem to be causing him a lot of grief. To be fair, he’s not doing too badly sleep-wise, but I have been relying a little bit on Easter eggs to get myself through the day. I […]
Week 11-17 2017 – time flies when you’re having fun
Wow, my plan to write two or three blog posts every week has failed miserably. I blame the baby, but to be fair on Ioan we have been out and about so much lately, it seems like I never have time to write a new post. But, it won’t be long now before I return […]
Week 10 2017 – shitty dinners
However much you enjoy cooking, if you haven’t slept more than an hour straight during the night then you’re not going to be in the best mood for slaving over a hot stove. So over the last week Ioan has been having his fair share of ‘ready meals’ (Ella’s Kitchen pouches – which are actually […]
Week 9 2017 – the tummy bug diet
Thanks to my dear boy, I didn’t really eat anything last week. Ioan had a stomach bug last weekend which I caught, leaving me feeling poorly for the week. So nothing of note to share with you – apart from a half stone weight loss – but I am back on track this week and […]
