I can’t quite believe the time for this particular update has finally come around – it feels like only a couple of months ago that I wrote his first one! So as it is, my little baby boy is now one year old, and veering away from being a baby and turning into a cheeky little toddler instead. Both my boys have cheeky personalities, but I think N is even more so than J! He hasn’t been weighed since his ten month check which I mentioned in his last update so I have no idea how much he weighs now – …
Overnight oats with berries | Recipe (Slimming World friendly)
When I first heard about overnight oats – basically cold porridge – I wasn’t too sure about the idea. We’re used to hot oatmeal (which you can even make in a rice cooker). I’ll admit, the first couple of times I tried it, I wasn’t so keen.

You may have noticed there hasn’t been a Slimming World update from me for a couple of weeks – not because I’ve fallen off the wagon and stopped posting like usually happens – just that life has got in the way, and I haven’t got around to it yet, so there are two weeks in one for this post.
First birthday celebrations – little man N turns 1!
On Sunday my littlest guy finally turned one year old. The past year has gone so quick, much quicker than it did with J.

For J’s first birthday we had a ‘proper’ party at home with friends & family, party games and even a visit from Iggle Piggle! I think I went all out because …
Feeding Grandad’s fish #CountryKids
On Thursday hubby had a day off work so we spent the day at my father-in-law’s – I thought we would only be going for a few hours but after he offered to buy us tea, we stayed all day! (Well you can never refuse a meal where you don’t have to cook, can you?…). Grandad lives out in the country and has lots of outdoor space so J loves to go outside and exploring. Hubby and his brother were fixing his car and I’d gone to take them a cuppa when J appeared. He ‘helped’ them for a little …
