Review & Recipe – Mega Marshmallows & S’mores

Updated on

In this house we love marshmallows and usually have them with a hot chocolate, cream & sprinkles but I have never cooked with them, or played with them either for that matter. We were recently sent some Mega Marshmallows from Innovative Bites and we did both! Now from the description I knew they were going to be big, but I didn’t think they would be this big: With marshmallows this size, you can get really creative! I had two things in mind to begin with – tower building and making s’mores!

Do bloggers move house for freebies?

Updated on

Very recently there has been a blog post that has got people bloggers all up in arms – all about whether bloggers have babies just to get freebies. I’m not going to link as we don’t want HIM to get the traffic do we? (Just search on twitter instead). Anyyyyyway…. It got me to thinking, do bloggers move house just to get freebies? I mean, I see LOTS of blogs reviewing homewares, some of them very expensive ones at that. Before they even move (like about 64 times in the last 3 years like that Rachel over at Parenthood Highs …

Slimming World weigh in #49 – the one where I’m on it…

Updated on

So after last week and my non scale victory, it really spurred me on to get my head right back in it.

Apart from Saturday, I was within my syns every day which I think made a difference as it’s a been a while since that has happened.

Time for a toilet regression?

Updated on

Is there such a thing as a toilet regression? Why do I ask? Because, well, we seem to be having one with Jacob right now. It’s been 4 months now since we moved and his Grandad passed away, but we have had no other big changes since then so I am trying to figure out the reason, or if it is actually just a phase – in which case I shall just repeat the mantra “This too shall pass. This too shall pass.” It wasn’t actually long after we moved that he started to do all of his business on …

Spaghetti carbonara | Recipe (Slimming World friendly)

Updated on

Pasta is a favourite dish in our house so I am really glad that I can eat as much of it as I like on Slimming World. Recently though it has been a case of finding pasta dishes other than bolognese, lasagna or a pasta bake. This spaghetti carbonara is delicious with the whole family enjoying it, and it’s even more enjoyable knowing it is only 1 syn per portion! It is even more perfect served up with a slice of garlic bread. Ingredients (serves 4) 6 lean rashers of bacon with all visible fat removed 1 garlic clove, crushed …
