Last year (and maybe the year before actually) a friend & I decided that we were going to start a cake club – even if it was only the two of us, ha! Our first meeting was last week and the theme was an easy one – cupcakes. I always have to go that extra mile and as I still had some of my Reese’s hamper left from Christmas (I know, I’m not sure how either) I decided to take these. I have no words to describe them – they might just be the finest cupcake I have ever tasted …
Slimming World weigh in – I got a shiny!
In the week prior to this week’s weigh in, I went a little off track on Sunday. We were at my brother-in-law’s for tea and although we had a fairly healthy curry (the majority of which was free food for me) he had cheesecake for dessert and I couldn’t not have any when everyone else did! I did only have a little bit though. I then shared a yogurt ice lolly with N but that wasn’t many syns anyway. I’ve been doing more walking this week and I’m really enjoying it; I’m already starting to feel a bit fitter again, …
Snow day
At the beginning of the week we were lucky (though some might say not so) to have had snow in our part of the country, which after disappearing on the first day, settled on the second! It was both boy’s first ‘proper’ snowfall, though I wish N was walking already so he could have experienced it that way too. We were venturing out on Tuesday to Fit Tots (every week there is soft play, a sensory activity, and healthy snack time). The sensory activity this week was playing with ice & snow to tie in with the weather. J spent …
#TimeToTalk Day – #Take5ToBlog
Today, February 5th, is #TimeToTalk Day. Time to #Take5 to talk about mental illness, to take that step to help end the stigma and taboo. Regular blog readers will know that I have suffered from mental health issues myself so talking about it and raising awareness is something I am very passionate about. I’m going to share my 5 sentence mental health story; you can do the same using the following format, either over on the Time to Change Facebook page or in the blog comment box: My name is Stacey and I have experienced depression, post natal depression, and anxiety. My …
Little man J at 2 years 10 months old
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 …
