After my previous two rubbish weeks and going off plan a bit, I was determined that I was going to do a bit better this week. It didn’t happen though – in fact I was much the same! With cake club on Thursday and fish & chips at my father-in-law’s on Friday, and then Sunday dinner at my brother-in-law’s with Yorkshire puddings and non-SW friendly roasties, I was quite positively expecting a maintain or even a gain! One thing I have got into the habit of though if I do happen to go off plan slightly, is keep my syns as low …
Little man N at 1 year old!
I can’t quite believe the time for this particular update has finally come around – it feels like only a couple of months ago that I wrote his first one! So as it is, my little baby boy is now one year old, and veering away from being a baby and turning into a cheeky little toddler instead. Both my boys have cheeky personalities, but I think N is even more so than J!

Overnight oats with berries | Recipe (Slimming World friendly)

First birthday celebrations – little man N turns 1!
On Sunday my littlest guy finally turned one year old. The past year has gone so quick, much quicker than it did with J. All of Saturday I was reminiscing about my day of on/off labour; there may have been a few tears as my labour and home birth was pretty much perfect and I would do it all again in a heart beat (if I wanted to, that is!). For J’s first birthday we had a ‘proper’ party at home with friends & family, party games and even a visit from Iggle Piggle! I think I went all out because …
