So we’ve finally made the decision to move the boys into the same bedroom. We knew it would have to happen at some point but have been holding off. We only live in a small 2 bed flat and currently we have the bigger bedroom. If we were to move N into J’s room it just wouldn’t work so we’re going to be swapping our rooms around too (though we won’t be decorating – maybe just a lick of paint – as we hope to move this year anyway! Not that our bedroom has been decorated since we moved in …
Slimming World – my first week and weigh in
As you might have read, I joined Slimming World last week. I was excited yet a little bit nervous as I’ve always weighed in the privacy of my own home before and had a quick hop on the scales during the week! I’m determined not to do that though as obviously our scales will be different. Also I’ve never really been on a plan before, just did my own thing with calorie counting.

Pizza topped chicken | Recipe (Slimming World friendly)
Since I joined Slimming World last week I’ve been trying out a few new recipes and I hope it means I won’t get stuck in a food rut like I usually do when trying to lose weight!

{Guest post} What to Expect During the First Ultrasound
What to Expect During the First Ultrasound Taking a pregnancy test is only the beginning of what will soon be a calendar full of pregnancy-related appointments. There are initial doctor appointments to confirm the pregnancy and get mama-to-be on a healthy regimen for optimal prenatal care. There are appointments with relatives to share the exciting news, and parenting class appointments to get an idea of what to expect while you’re expecting. However, in this sea of scheduled dates, there is one appointment that expectant moms hold a little closer to their hearts: the first ultrasound appointment. An ultrasound is a …
My Slimming World journey begins
Earlier in the week I wrote about hoping to join a Slimming World group but my anxiety was holding me back – I only went and did it! I was really anxious in the days leading up to going but I eventually found myself a real life partner instead of just online support. When it came to going, I was more nervous about walking there and being mugged or kidnapped or something on the way! (I don’t live in the greatest neighbourhood). There’s the anxiety again for you. Anyway, once I arrived at the location it is held at, I …
