I’m feeling very inspired this year to grow some of my own vegetables. I have to admit that I’m probably not a natural gardener (!!) but from what I’ve read you can pick veggies that are really easy to grow.

Food shopping for allergic little ones can end up being quite expensive especially if you are buying lots of fresh organic produce. So by growing your own, you can help to reduce your shopping bill whilst also having some fun - my little one loves messy play out in the garden! 

 I’ve found this site www.organicgardening.org.uk which seems to have some great information about organic gardening. And this afternoon I’m off to the library to see if I can get a good beginners book about growing easy veg. I’ll have to keep you updated as to how I get on!!

 Oh and before I sign off, just to let you know it’s Welly Week from 21-28th April. Welly Week is organised by Garden Organic to raise funds to help educate and inspire people about organic gardening, farming and food for a sustainable future. For more info visit www.organicgardening.org.uk.

I came across a great article today titled “Chocolate-Free Easter Treats” on the eparenting website (ww.eparenting.co.uk).  It seems that due to concerns about increasing child obesity, a number of parents are looking for chocolate-free easter treats this year – not just those parents with allergic babies and toddlers!

The article recommends a free gift advice service offered by www.idealpresent.co.uk. It lists a number of great alternative gift suggestions for this Easter. I went on to the site and searched for my own list…and I must admit I’m quite tempted by some of the ideas! The service is free so why not have a look!
