Musings of a Slimming World target member | #1

by StaceyUpdated on March 10, 2017February 26, 2017

It’s been a few months now since I reached target; just over three of them, in fact. It does actually feel like it’s been longer to be honest. I haven’t shared an update since becoming a target member so I thought it was about time I got my thoughts down on paper; well, virtual paper! I was going to say, I can’t remember the last time I went to weigh in dreading getting on the scales, but that wouldn’t be entirely true. The truth is, I’ve been really struggling for most of the year already, and it’s almost March!

A family feast with Chicago Town – #NotJustForDinner

by StaceyUpdated on January 31, 2020February 24, 2017

Pizza. One of the most popular dishes for meal times in our house. I don’t have a favourite topping, I’m always changing my mind with what I fancy; but as long as it has plenty of cheese on it, I’m good! It’s usually my go to choice for family gatherings too; Jacob’s birthday last year involved pizza, and it’s also our traditional Christmas Eve dinner choice. We like to be different! 😉 And so do Chicago Town, which is why they have a challenge running at the moment daring people to use their pizza #NotJustForDinner! The Deep Dish pizzas are …

January Degustabox | Subscription Box Review

by StaceyUpdated on February 12, 2017February 13, 2017

It seems like ages since I last welcomed a Degustabox into my house. I think it’s because the Christmas one arrived a bit earlier than usual and this one a little later; not that I’m complaining, I always love the arrival of a new Degustabox! Enjoy 10 to 15 surprise products, many are completely new to the market! Receive your Degustabox every month filled with goodies. All for much less than you would pay in the shops! January’s box included quite a few brands I had never heard of, with some I will certainly buy again. I did enjoy everything in it …

Our favourite five – January | Bags, bake club, and a book signing

by StaceyUpdated on February 5, 2017February 6, 2017

Now I’ve got back into the swing of things with blogging again, I’m going to try and be a bit more timely with our favourite five updates! January has gone by in a bit of a blur if I’m honest; though we didn’t really have a lot on, but time seems to go by so quick these days. Jacob started back at school; Barney really found his place in our home; I had a little trip away at the end of the month with my book blog partner in crime, to a multi author book signing in Birmingham; and when …

Frozen inspired biscuits | We Bake with Dr Oetker

by StaceyUpdated on February 5, 2017February 3, 2017

I revealed a while ago that I had been asked to become a founding member of the Dr Oetker We Bake community, and I was over the moon to accept! I’m so happy to see the delicious looking bakes on the site; there are so many talented, creative bakers in the We Bake community! My latest Dr Oetker bake is my contribution to our most recent bake club meet, with the theme of Frozen or snow; so I used a combination of both to come up with two different designs. The biscuits themselves are crumbly, and easy to make; easy enough for …
