House by John Lewis

| September 22, 2012

There’s a new and exciting range of affordable and stylish homeware at House by John Lewis. This stylish range incorporates a mix of everyday essentials for your home with a modern and uncluttered feel. Designed with the contemporary urban home in mind the House range blends seamlessly into your existing environment.

We love this new range and it fits so well in a home with babies and children. It’s modern, affordable and there’s a delightful selection of colours to brighten your home.

I enjoy cooking hearty and warm meals for my family especially now the weather is changing. The Oven to Tableware dishes will look great in any kitchen and are made from durable stoneware in a striking red finish. They retain heat well and provide a convenient way to serve meals straight from the oven to the table.

The Best Baby Weaning Products

Beaba Babycook Duo

Beaba Babycook Duo

Weaning is such an exciting time for you and your baby. I love the idea of my baby trying foods for the first time, it opens up a brand new world of texture, smell, colour and taste.

Have fun with natural organic foods for your baby even in the early stages, everything your baby eats contributes to their health and wellbeing. I highly recommend good nutrition from the first spoonful of food your baby tastes.

The Beaba Babycook Duo Steamer and Blender will make your life a breeze when weaning your baby. It is an all-in-one Steamer, Cooker, Blender and Defroster. Saving you time and space in your kitchen!

When first weaning your baby it’s all about trying foods and getting a taste for them, getting used to solids and swallowing food rather than milk. It’s not about eating specific amounts of food as your baby will still need milk for 100% of their nutrition in the early days of weaning.

I love the Annabel Karmel Food Masher and Bowlwhich is great for mashing soft fruits and vegetables.

The bowl has inner ridges to help make mashing ever so quick and easy and the handle grip prevents slipping, as does the non-slip base on the bowl.

The Annabel Karmel Food Masher and Bowl is really convenient when you’re on the go or travelling, just pop in the soft fruit (some great fruits to try are banana, avocado, pear and peach) and cooked veg (you can try carrots, sweet potato, parsnip and swede) and you’ll have tasty and nutritious food for your baby in seconds.

Annabel Karmel’s New Complete Baby and Toddler Meal Planner

I highly recommend the book Weaning by Annabel Karmelwhich is a very handy book providing advice on what, when and how to wean, as well as including meal planners for the different stages of progression onto solids.

I frequently refer to Annabel Karmel’s New Complete Baby and Toddler Meal Planner which is bright and colourful with over 200 varied and easy recipes for purees and baby meals.

These recipes help to ensure your baby is getting the right combination of nutrients, proteins, carbs and fats. This book has certainly helped to make my life as a Mummy easier!

And when weaning you will certainly need some good bibs for your baby so we’ve selected the best baby bibs – these are truly brilliant!
