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.

Our favourite five - August

August seemed to fly by. I think it’s because The Husband had a week off toward the end of the month, and so we had a day out and did some last minute school shopping for Jacob. I kind of wanted it to pass by slowly as when September arrived, it meant only another 4 days until starting school! It’s going to be really odd during the week when he’s not here. It will be quiet(er) and I will only have one small person pestering me during the day. But it also means I might be able to get a …

Slimming World weigh in – the one where I’m losing the number…

I’ve decided that from this weigh in onward, I am dropping the number of the weigh in. As the weeks go on and that number goes up, it is getting a little disheartening as it is such a high number now and I am not yet at target. I don’t mind taking the scenic route, as I always have done. But, I think it might make me feel a bit better in general. At last week’s weigh in I seemed to be continuing my trend of only losing half a pound, and that’s okay. The closer to target, the harder it …

Updated on

It’s that time of the year again – yes, Great British Bake Off is back! Albeit a little later than usual (sad face). I am of course joining with the #GBBOBloggers2016 bake along again, and I’ll try to join in as many weeks as possible! I have decided I am going to attempt a few more technical challenges this year, and also be a bit more organised. It started off well with baking on Monday before the show even aired, then I watched it and decided I would attempt the technical instead (so my original bake will be in a …

Slimming World weigh in #78 – the one where it’s still going down…

Updated on

If you read last week’s weigh in you will know that I won Woman of the Year in group, which made me incredibly over the moon and therefore motivated for a good week! I stayed on plan all week but I do think I need to start meal planning again; it really does help with staying on plan as I don’t struggle for new meal ideas and I can plan meals and shopping well in advance. We attended a fun day at Jacob’s nursery on Saturday afternoon and I knew there was going to be a cake stall there, which is usually …
