How Bob Came To Be (Not The X-Rated Version!)

Since my 12 week scan the baby in my tummy was called Bob. This is partly my fault but it is mostly thanks to my friend Catherine. Although it was lovely to look at the scan picture, I couldn’t help thinking that my baby looked like a blob. (Does this make me a bad mother? – See blob below!)  After telling Catherine this she announced that, from now on, my baby would be called Bob. Bob the Blob. This nickname [click here to read on]

Scrummy, Yummy Cookie Cake!!!

I decided to try and bake a cookie cake, using the Scrummy Yummy Cookie Recipe that I posted earlier this week.  My cookies have always been popular so I thought that a cookie cake would go down a treat! I made the dough in exactly the same way as I make the smaller cookies and added chocolate chunks to 2/3’s of the mixture. * It turned out that a 3rd would have been enough but I was glad I used 2/3’s [click here to read on]

Our Funny Valentine

  As Bob was ill on February the 14th, we decided to postpone Valentines Day until Saturday. When I was planning Valentines Day, Bob was going to sleep in her cot for a couple of hours at the beginning of the night.  With this in mind, I planned a romantic indoor picnic.  I bought Pink Fizz and lots of goodies, including a giant chocolate pizza.  I had only meant to order a small one but I didn’t notice the size [click here to read on]

I was making our dinner on Thursday evening and Bob was happily playing in her activity centre in the kitchen.  Suddenly, out of nowhere (well out of her mouth, actually) Bob projectile vomited everywhere!  She has been sick before but I have never seen anything like this.  Her clothing, my slippers and the activity centre could not be saved! For the next hour Bob was very quiet.  We snuggled together, watching In The Night Garden.  I was glad that my [click here to read on]
