In the A to Z of Family series, what could J be for, other than little man J? He is one of the main subjects of this blog, so of course it had to be. 3 years (and 2 days) ago, we saw J for the first time. He was a little blob on the ultrasound screen. We had waited over 2.5 years for this moment. It was magical. Surreal. That was our much waited for, much longed for, clomid baby. He looked perfect. He arrived into our lives a week and a day later than he was supposed to. But …

Weight loss – week 3
So week 2 has been and gone and here I am into week 3. Like last week, I started the beginning of the week doing well then went downhill; and then again, I had a couple of emotional days and either continuously ate, or ate junk. I wish I was one of those people who went off food instead. The weekends are still going well with the Monday weigh in causing me not to pig out. I didn’t even do as much walking last week as I was so tired for one reason or another and I just couldn’t be bothered to …

My meal plan from last week went to plan other than on Friday. We visited hubby’s Nan at lunchtime and Father-in-law bought us fish & chips for lunch so we just had sandwiches for dinner. On Saturday we had naan bread pizzas though as I didn’t have any pizza bases nor any yeast to make some – they were delicious though! I only have half a meal plan this week because we go away on Friday, so there won’t be one for the whole of next week either. Meal plan for w/c 25th August: Monday – Minted lamb kofta kebabs, broad bean …
Recipe – Sun-dried tomato & red onion topped focaccia (#GreatBloggersBakeOff2014)
I don’t often bake bread as I’m a much better baker of sweet items, but I needed wanted to join in with the #GreatBloggersBakeOff2014 again so I thought I’d attempt something which I’d made before – focaccia (though it was much better last time – this was a rush job in the end!). It is lovely & soft on both the inside & outside. Eat on its own or it’s also yummy dipped in balsamic vinegar. Ingredients (serves 4) 450 g strong white flour 1 sachet fast action yeast 1 tsp sea salt 250 ml warm water 4 tbsp olive oil 1 …
#VlogChallenge Week 5 – What’s In My Bag? (with outtakes)
So I’m on a roll at the minute and managed to get Week 5 of the #vlogchallenge both recorded and edited today, and I even managed to upload it! I know what will be happening for week 6, but I’m not quite sure when I will get around to filming it so you will have to watch this space. The prompt for Week 5 was ‘What’s In My Bag?’, so this one was easy (other than the outtakes, stay tuned at the end to see them!):
