I’m Stacey, a bookworm (or should that be dragon?!) from a quaint hamlet on the outskirts of Lincolnshire. In my late 30s, I’m a devoted mum to two wonderful boys who are both autistic—a unique aspect that makes them different, not less. I also share my home with my husband and Barney, my lovable Frenchie x Beagle.

Living a healthy lifestyle

Updated on

Source Living a healthy lifestyle is of great importance in this day & age due to the rise & rise of obesity. I’m ashamed to say that I fit this category, but if you have been reading the blog recently, you will have noticed that I am trying to live a healthy lifestyle to lose weight. I managed to do it pre-children, and I felt great for it. I am determined to reach my goal weight and stay there this time, and I don’t want to let anything get in my way. Exercising and eating healthily are two obvious ways …

101 reasons not to go on a boating holiday

Updated on

I recently posted about our annual holiday, this year to The Norfolk Broads. I mentioned that I would be writing a post about why a boating holiday is not for me. I don’t think I really need to give much introduction, so here goes (in no particular order): not having a proper shower (a trickily little thing, with not enough room to swing a mouse, let alone a cat) the toilet literally being in the shower – if you want a pee, you have to get wet feet if you also want to stay clean needing a step ladder to climb onto …

Weight loss – week 6

Meal Planning Monday – 22nd September

Updated on

I’m enjoying being back into meal planning mode, and using up many of the items in my cupboard which I receive from my foodie penpals. Hubby even cooked one day last week – Wednesday! It mostly went to plan other than Friday & Saturday. We were out a little late on Friday and by the time we got home I couldn’t be bothered to cook so I just whipped up beans on toast for J (oops) and we had a cheeky takeaway once he had gone to bed (double oops). So on Saturday we had Friday’s meal as I’d already taken the …

A to Z of Family – K is for Kisses

Updated on

I’m a few weeks behind on the linky now – I’ve just had other things come up, or I struggle to think of something for a certain letter, or I think of one then forget to write it down and can’t remember! I have gotten myself organised and now have a list so I will be playing catch up over the next few weeks.  We all know kisses can be used for many reasons – to say hello, to say goodbye, to say sorry, to say I love you, to say thank you. Little man J absolutely loves kisses. He …
