I’m quite a bit late with this update – life has just gotten in the way recently and I’ve lost my blogging mojo a bit. Though I realise that the next update I write for J, he will be three! THREE! It only seems like yesterday that he arrived in the world. He’s becoming such a little grown up now, everybody says so too. I think when he does turn three, I might do a monthly update like I do with N as he is changing so quickly now that two months seems too long between them. The little man …
Tandoori baked salmon | Recipe (Slimming World friendly)
Now I’m trying out new fish and recipes for our regular ‘fish Friday’s’ you might have a few more fish recipes coming your way – this week is salmon.

Slimming World weigh in number two
If you read about my first week with Slimming World then you’ll know that I had a fairly good loss of 3.5lbs which I was over the moon with. This week I was hoping to lose another 3.5lbs in order to get my half stone award.

The thing I am worst with is picking at the kids food – so crumbs, leftovers, stealing a morsel …
Cussons Mum & Me #voiceofmums
Bath times are a favourite in our house – well, who doesn’t love a bath? Both boys were not too keen on baths at first and would scream the place down, but now they both absolutely love bath time. J would stay in there all night if he could, even after the water has gone cold – he often stays in there playing once the water has disappeared down the plug hole! If you watch my #voiceofmums video below then you will hear my first memory of baby bath time. This was the day after J was born, in the …
Baked plaice with tomato & basil | Recipe (Slimming World friendly)
Since I’ve seen all of the types of fish I can eat on Slimming World without counting the calories, I’ve decided to become a little more experimental with it! In our house we have ‘Fish Friday’ and it usually consists of scampi, cod/haddock, or mackerel. I’ve always loved the reduced shelf in the supermarket and now I’ve started raiding the fish section every week to see what I can find for the following week. One of my recent finds was plaice fillets, to which I added just a couple of simple ingredients which brought the flavour out just a little bit …
