Olivia's favourite books | Toddler books


Today's blog post is another toddler book one, we love reading to Olivia, its one of my favourite things to do. Stories are a great way to introduce so many things to your child and its a great way to broaden there imagination. I wanted to share the books that Olivia has been loving lately and the books that we ready probably on a daily basis.  

The dinosaur that pooped a planet 

This book is a funny one and one that I know off by heart, The dinosaur that pooped series are fantastic stories with beautiful illustrations too. Olivia really enjoys this story and loved to point out how the characters emotions change through the story.

Peppa Pig My Grandpa 

This is a new story to our collection and since we have picked this up Olivia has loved it. She loved Peppa so we knew that this would be a winner, its a great way to introduce how we see each other. There are many others similar such as 'My Daddy' and 'My Mummy'.

The Gruffalo 

This is a classic story and one Lilly loved too, the characters, stories and illustrations are beautiful and is one that Olivia loves to listen too. She loves the mouse and the Gruffalo but really isn't keen on the fox and always tried to hide from it with a little giggle, we also love the TV adaption of the story too.

    Thanks for sharing these book titles. I don't have toddlers myself, but it's always good to know what books are great to give to friends who have little ones.

Macaroni Cheese | Recipe and Method

I do love a pasta dish and macaroni cheese is such a comfort food for me, its so easy and simple to make, perfect for a busy evening taking only 15-20 minutes to make.

My mental health

 I don't really know why I am writing this but it may help me or someone else in the future, today I am low, very low, I feel very stuck in a rubbish situation and don't see it ever getting better. At the moment money is tight, very tight and it really is getting me down, I feel like I am letting everyone down. I want to be the best person I can be and the best Mum possible to my girls, I want to be able to provide a good life for them and don't want them to even know that we are ever struggling. I suffer from anxiety but this doesn't feel anything like that, this feels like a have got a weight in my heart, one that feels painful too, its like a constant sinking feeling that drains me too. I am tired and emotional and just had enough and I really don't know what to do or how to even take the next step. I really hope that one day soon we don't have to worry so much, that we can live a little more comfortable and that life gives us some luck as the pas

Cottage pie recipe

I have recently started making my own Cottage pie with a recipe that I have tweeted to work four our fussy family. I find that a cottage pie is such an Autumn/Winter staple as it feeling like such a warm, hearty meal, one that is a proper comfort meal.  I recently started making the meal and found that I didn't have a packet mix in so decided to find a recipe to try out, the first one I found sounded good but I changed it slightly to fit our family, Lils isn't keen on fresh onion ad none of us like celery. I thought I would share our recipe with you which can easily be adapted if need be. Recipe 500g Beef Mince 1 carton of tomato passata  1 tbs tomato paste 1 beef stock cube 1 beef stock pot 1 tsp onion salt 1 tsp garlic granules 1 tsp mixed herbs 2 medium carrots sliced and part cooked Salt and pepper 3 large potatoes for mash 75g cheese Method 1. Preheat you oven to gas mark 4/180oC 2. Brown off the mince and drain off excess oil from the pan. 3. Pour in the passa
