We have various dietary requirements in our household – four out of five of us are vegetarian and we have one who is lactose intolerant. This means I understand just how tricky it can be to negotiate labels when you want to make sure a food is suitable for your… View Post
Anyone else have a reluctant toothbrusher? Syd is terrible – he won’t let anyone else do it, and doesn’t do the best of jobs himself. We are finally at the point where they at least get brushed twice a day without too much of a battle, but I still worry… View Post
