Foolproof Banana Bread

When I went around to my friend Nisia's a couple of weeks ago her and her five year old Maja had just started baking a banana cake. Of course Coco wanted in on the action... Nisia and I were busy...

Who's Afraid of Messy Play?

Who's afraid of messy play? Well, frankly, I am. The house gets messy enough without the play being officially deemed messy - ie involving sand or water or (horror) both. Coco went to nursery from...

Making Eggs

It started with a purchase on a whim in the supermarket. A £5 yellow silicone egg mould. Then another £4.50 later enough chocolate to melt and fill our soon-to be home made eggs. I got some very...
