You may have read before that we are big fans of Old El Paso so when an email popped in my inbox asking if I wanted to try a new recipe I thought yes, I’ll give it a go! The recipe I opted for was sweet potato & chilli enchiladas. We love enchiladas, they are one of our favourite Mexican dishes, but we have never had a vegetarian version as we usually have chicken in them. I love sweet potato and chilli so I was really looking forward to trying this. I was sent all of the ingredients (bar the …
Little man N at 1 year 3 months old
It seems N wants to be more & more like his big brother every day. Though there are almost two years between them it doesn’t feel like it sometimes as N is catching up with J so quickly. I still refer to N as a ‘boddler’ at the moment but soon I will need to start referring to him as a fully fledged toddler – I just don’t want to as I refuse to be the owner of two toddlers! (One will soon be a pre-schooler anyway…). Since N’s last update I actually managed to take him to get weighed. …
Slimming World weigh in #21 – repeat as necessary…
After my loss of 1.5lb last week (yet another shock!) I had decided I was going to get right back on it so I had no more of going to weigh in expecting a gain and so being shocked at a loss. I was on plan all week and right back into it, though I did go over my syns on Sunday when we were at my brother-in-law’s for tea and I had proper sausages and some Vienetta! For the first time in a few weeks though, I still managed to be within my weekly syn allowance -well, I had …
360° Junior Anywayup beaker | Review & giveaway (CLOSED)
J didn’t start using a beaker properly until he was around 18 months old – at three years old he has only just started using a cup regularly. Now, N wants to be exactly like his big brother and was always stealing his beaker so we got him his own, though he did take a while to get the hang of it but he pretty much always has one now. Now J uses a cup, of course N wants to be the same. That’s where the 360° Junior beaker from Anywayup comes in handy. At only 14 months old I wasn’t sure …
Slimming World weigh in #20 – the one where I got it again…
After my second shock loss in a row last week it gave me a kick up the rear end to get back on plan as much as possible – ideally, totally back on plan. We were attending a Christening do on Sunday but I had decided that I was going to have my lunch beforehand so I wouldn’t be tempted by all the buffet food, but that didn’t work and I eventually caved and tucked in – including the awesome candy cart! I was on plan for pretty much the rest of the week though, but I had been naughtily getting weighed …
