icklebabe.com, it's in the blog

I have a little secret…..

It is something I have been hiding for some time, Milly doesn’t really eat. I know allot of you lovely blog friends and visitors have this illusion that I am some kind of earth mother type, (you know who you are! ;D) . And it’s true, I do like to cook and I have an aversion to the taste of Dolmio (and all other weird plastic sauces)  so I make most things from scratch, but that doesn’t mean Milly eats it….

In fact we call her *Milly One Bite* because she will try anything, but only one bite! Then its just pushed around the plate or squashed onto my plate and she’s off, down from the table and onto something different. She seems to get very little pleasure from food which is obviously  a complete alien concept for me!

This week I am calling, The Wilderness Years.

Not nice cozy cabin wilderness, with open fires and warm argyle  fluffy blankets, but more survival bear grylls style.

 This is because,  it very much feels like it has been much longer than a week and I have very much been lost in the wilderness and slight panic of  sick baby. Poor Milly had a really nasty tummy bug for an agonizing seven days. And it was all more than a bit of a worry….

 If it had been a movie the tag line would have gone something like this…. “One Mum, One baby  and the germ , go head to to head in a battle of nappies, vom and will!”…. (more…)

This week has been a scorcher! And I am pleased to say that, for once I have been organised and bought my self some **using beauty mag lingo** key pieces for the season.

The most memorable being my new Hawaiian print maxi dress. I have never before owned a maxi dress as I have big boobies and didn’t think I could fit the puppies in quite frankly. But they are everywhere this summer (not my boobies!)  and it says in my new  book… “the Fabulous Mum’s Guide to a Fabulous family Life” by grace Saunders, that Maxi dresses are one of the essentials for a stylish mummy’s wardrobe …. ( I say its new, but I have had it for months and only just now got around to reading it, not sure what that says about my fabulous life, but hay..I digress..) (more…)
