10 years on and I'm still enjoying modelling. With four adorable children 5 and under to feed - not forgetting a very hungry husband as well - making quick healthy tasty food means I can balance my work and home life....that's the plan anyway!! I'm happy to share my tried and tested favourite recipes with other parents. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do..... Love Gemma xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Gingerbread Men!




My darling 8 month old son River has started pulling up trying to stand up! He pulls up on anything he can get hold of cupboard door handles, chairs, his sisters and when hes up hes very unsteady. This afternoon River pulled up on the kitchen bin and then it fell on him, rubbish went everywhere I rushed to save him and kicked the dog water bowl over him and me.....great that was fun to clean up! Naughty small angel boy!

Tallulah and I made gingerbread men she loved making them and eating them. Give it a go!
