As I mentioned in my last update a couple of weeks ago, I was on holiday last week so I didn’t weigh in. Up until we went away I was on plan, then it kind of went out of the window – well I was on holiday after all! I had lots of treats like cake, ice cream, chips… and we had a couple of takeaways, plus a barbecue! Add at least one alcoholic beverage a day and well, I must have been way over my syns! I could really tell by the end of my holiday that I had been …
Potty & toilet training with J
Over J’s last few updates (well over the last year or so in fact, on & off) I have written about his potty training progress. He started potty training last year when we thought he was showing an interest but he was really sporadic with it and so we just left it. Just before Christmas he had started showing an interest again and so Nanna bought him a Thomas Tank musical potty which seemed to do the trick, and he finally had his first wee on it just before he turned three! After that he was a bit more regular on …
{Guest post} Laura – Weight Loss and the Pain of Trying to Conceive
Today’s guest post is from Laura, a Mummy of two who blogs over at Laura’s Lovely Blog. She talks about a journey I am very familiar with, losing weight in order to conceive. It’s funny, I spent most of my 20s trying not to get pregnant. Having a mini panic attack if there was a slip up. Because in my mind there was no way I was ready. Of course after all the contraception fastidiousness it seemed to me that as soon as we started trying to fall pregnant, that it would be easy, that it would just happen. That the little spermy …

Recipe – Lemon & ginger cheesecake
When I made this cheesecake, I just fancied something lemony, and I was thrown back to the boozy lemon cheesecake I made last year. I wanted this one to be child-friendly though, and that it was. It has just the right amount of lemon flavour, and the ginger gives it just a little more zing. It is quite sickly though so it might go further than the stated servings, it depends how much sweetness you can take! Ingredients (serves 6-8) 150g digestive biscuits 50g butter, melted 500g cream cheese 397g condensed milk 150ml double cream 2tbsp sweetener 6tbsp lemon juice …
