Tip of the day

Never ask a child IF they need the loo... moodlum

Quote of the week

CaptainNancy's (admirably succinct) family rules: "Don't be a dingbat/duffer. Keep calm and carry on. Dream big. Shut up and get on with it."

Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

I loved this book, it ought to be an essential read for any new mum, be it your first baby or the fifth!

Informative in a chatty, friendly way, it gets mom to realise she's just as important as baby for things to work out.

Sensible, funny and understanding, there isn't much it doesn't cover.

"Informative but very light hearted, it's not intended to be a manual on how to bring up your child, more a collection of shared experiences, advice and good humour to get you through the tough bits." "Written in a conversational style, it raises lots of subjects/issues that I didn't find in other books and makes you focus on yourself as well as your baby!" Sadly I didn't find this one until I was expecting my second, but I passed it on to a friend who was expecting her first baby and she found it realy helpful."
