July 15th 2015 - Watermelon sticks
My boys love watermelon! Well they love most fruit which is good. Yesterday when I went shopping aldi had watermelons in again, not had for a while so I bought 1.
lil man struggles with watermlon in slices and I usually end up cutting it into chunks for him in a bowl. I remembered that I had pinned ages ago a pin on making Watermelon sticks. Today I have sat and read the pin, followed the instructions and cut the watermelon into sticks and put in a tub in the fridge.
Hopefully this will make it easier for lil man to manage.

February 20th 2015 - Growing potatoes
February 20th 2015 - Growing Potatoes
Last week my lil man (5) asked if we could grow our own potatoes. He was only really little when I did this with the older 2. I had planned to use an old dustbin that was in the garden, but sadly it got crushed when the temporary fence fell down on it. So I ordered a potatoe grow bag off ebay for £2.99.
It arrived yesterday and me and lil man headed to town to get some compost so we could plant the potatoes today. Well we were in £1 shop and there were loads of kids near the toys and it was like this "mum can I have this toy" and "mum I want this" etc. As we walked past them all my lil man turned round and said to me "mummy I don't want any toys like those children, all I want is some compost to plant my potatoes in". Bless him, so sweet.
We got the compost and a bit further on the shelf is the same potatoe grow bags as I had bought off ebay for £2.99. GGggggggrrrrr!!!! Oh well, never mind. £1 shop didn't have anything like them last week.
Today we poured 1 bag of compost into the bottom of the bag, pushed the potatoes into it and then covered them with the other bag of compost. The grow bag is only half full so we are going to get some more when we go to town at the weekend to top it up. Lil man then proceeded to water them with rain water from his bucket. I found this article on pinterest about growing potatoes in a bag.
He asked whilst we were doing the potatoes if we can plant some carrots and other things as well. Me and hubby agreed and have said we will make him a raised planter at the side of the garden over the next few weeks and get some seeds and stuff for him to plant. We are also getting a blueberry plant and raspberry plant to go in pots on the decking (that isn'nt even built yet! lol).
The older 2 are not really interested in anything outdoors and moan if asked to help with the garden, but i'm sure they will be quite happy to eat the fruit and veg that we grow!

January 20th 2015 - What can a bearded dragon eat?
January 20th 2015 - What can a bearded dragon eat?
The answer is lots of things, but this isn't helpful when i'm stood in the supermarket with no internet signal to check as I can't remember!
So today's pin is another linked to my phone - I am compiling a list to my phone of things he can eat daily/regularly and not so often. I did have 1 up until my phone went in for repairs and I never re-made it.
I found a pin about bearded dragon food on pinterest so I have linked to that as well as the interent as there is a wide range of things they can eat not on this list.
My beardie is really funny, although he (she maybe as not checked its sex but were told male when bought it) will eat alot of vegetables it goes crazy for greens! spinach, kale, dandelion leaves, peas and pea shoots etc. I'm not sure if beardies can tell colours or not, but he certainly goes more mad for them than anything else he gets given.
here is part of the list on my phone
