10 things I wish I’d known before becoming a parent

Updated on

I have to admit that when I was pregnant the first time around, I didn’t attend any antenatal classes as even then I was suffering with anxiety and I was too frightened to, even more so than the thought of giving birth! I learned everything I thought I needed to know, from books, videos, and the Internet. Even just over 4 years ago, there was a lot of information available, and with the ever growing world wide web, there is more & more becoming available every day, every minute, even. One thing I wish I had done more of though, is read …

After my post-holiday weigh-in last week, I was raring to go and ready for a loss this week. I’ve been on plan since we came back from holiday, and I found it quite easy to get right back into it, more so than I thought.

Thanks to A Strong Coffee and her recipe for a walnut cake using coconut oil, I have recently discovered how excellent coconut oil is! I’ve had an unopened jar sitting in my cupboard for months, and the first time I used it was a couple of weeks ago when I made the walnut cake. It was delicious, and using natural coconut oil rather than butter made it even better, as it added flavour with natural goodness.
