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.

Slimming World weigh in #71 – the one with a new number…

weekly weigh in

After my slight (expected) gain at last week’s weigh in I went away from group feeling determined that I was going to get into that next stone bracket this week. I had no plans so there was nothing to kick me off track; that was until I was hit with a couple of low days and picked at things I shouldn’t have been, and then we had an impromptu meal out and I ended up eating half of the boys’ desserts as they’d had enough half way through it…oops! I didn’t let it scupper me too much though and was right back on …

Quick & easy pesto pasta | Recipe

Updated on

Pasta is a favourite dish in our house and I love it served in so many ways – you can find some more of my pasta recipes here. This pesto pasta is super quick & easy; you could say a bit lazy too as there is no need to whip up your own pesto either… But it makes it perfect for those days where you’re in a rush or you just can’t be bothered to stand over the stove for a long time! You can of course add whatever veg you like, or even change the chicken for something else, but …

Our favourite five – June | Farms, Parks, and Gardens

Updated on

So another month has passed in a blur – where does the time go?! It doesn’t feel like summer as it’s supposed to be. Due to the horrendous weather, we have spent more time indoors than outdoors in the last month. On the few sunny days we have had, though, we have enjoyed ourselves outside doing some things featured in our favourite five for June 🙂 (Though I am a little late as I haven’t had any motivation recently, or I’ve been super tired – both have probably gone hand in hand actually!).

Slimming World weigh in #70 – the one with yet another…

Updated on

I was a bit annoyed after my weigh in last week and only coming away with a maintain as I was on plan all week and had nothing to show for it really. I went away from group feeling more determined to get a loss this week, but knowing I had a fundraising event coming up at the weekend, involving afternoon tea, I had already decided I was going to a few EESP days after that, up until weigh in. I don’t know how people manage a full week as I can only just manage a few days without yogurts, pasta, and …

Bedwetting Preschooler Toddler Toilet training

I’m a DryNites ambassador!

Updated on

It seems like we have been potty or toilet training on & off for the last couple of years now. It felt like we started quite early with Jacob and it was only a few months ago that he decided to just go for it himself and get rid of his nappies during the day. He does still have the odd accident though and although he goes to the toilet right before bed, he will occasionally have an accident through the night too. This is completely normal though as at the age of four, 1 in 4 children do still wet the …
