Learning, Living, Loving: April/May update from the LLL family

Well its been rather busy here this past month we have been gardening a lot fixing up the veggie patch a bit making more room and planting some winter crops and Little Miss H just started baby led weaning which is super rad fun! We have had Mr. R's 2nd birthday just last week and mothers day this weekend.

We have expanded our veggie patch out both ends and removed a huge Agapanthus from one end which was the cause of our snail problems don't know why we didn't do it sooner Pappa B found a great old water tank at work which we have now added to the veggie garden and we will use for things like garlic/asparagus/potatoes ect.

The kids love helping out in the garden L especially does any time she can get out there with Pappa B or I she does.

You can see my wooden rooster wind chime here in this pic its my fave got it for a few bucks at a garage sale , the gate we use to grow our beans on, the besser block and the water tank were all freebies from work

H has just started baby led weaning (BLW) the other week I was adamant she wouldn't be having anything more than breast milk till 6 mths but she had other ideas and started showing an interest around 5 mths so we thought why not seeing as we were doing BLW and not purees we though if she wasn't interested then she just wouldn't go for it. I was so surprised at how much she just loves it!

We started with some banana and avocado and in the last 2 weeks she has really just gone for it even trying a bit of lasagne from our plates I wasn't sure but she insisted yelling at us until we let her try it.

I decided to get creative and get out my dyes and did a bit of tie dye and also tried my luck at some felt food which was to go with R's birthday presents and it was all going great until my machine decided to break.
