Orange & lime battenberg | Recipe

by Stacey October 17, 2016October 17, 2016

It’s been a few weeks since I joined in with the #GBBOBloggers2016 bake along; it was The Husband’s birthday, then the week after it was my birthday, and this week I am very last minute as I have been having Internet connection issues and getting incredibly annoyed! Anyway. It seems to be working again for now, so here I am! We’ve all been feeling under the weather and with it being Tudor week, everything just looked… well, complicated! I didn’t really fancy any of it to be honest, but in the end I decided I would have a go at …

Our favourite five – September | Parties, school, and baking

by StaceyUpdated on October 28, 2020October 14, 2016

I’m rather late with our favourite five for September. We’ve all been poorly on & off for the last couple of weeks, so I haven’t been blogging as much and now I’m desperately trying to catch up. Other posts have had to take priority, but finally, here it is. September was quite an exciting but nerve wracking month with Jacob starting school. With him being at school during the week and The Husband working at weekends, we haven’t really been able to do much as a family. It has been easier for me to blog during the day though – …

September Degustabox | Subscription Box Review

by StaceyUpdated on October 13, 2016October 13, 2016

As you may be aware, I really love receiving a surprise Degustabox through the door once a month. September was no different, but I also decided to do an unboxing video which you can find below; you will see I had a little helper who was very noisy! But he’s cute so I’ll let him off 😉 The boys and The Husband also tried some of the products with me this month. I can also say this box had one of my favourite products so far. Enjoy 10 to 15 surprise products, many are completely new to the market! Receive your Degustabox every …

Slimming World weigh in – the post birthday one…

by StaceyUpdated on October 12, 2016October 13, 2016

After last week’s maintain, which I was actually very happy with, I went away from group with the mindset to make the most of what I knew was going to be a partly bad week. With my 30th birthday on the horizon, and my driving test on the same day, it was either going to be a day of double celebration, or commiseration! (It did end up being a double celebration though – yay!). We hadn’t planned anything in particular for my birthday, but we did end up with a KFC, a Chinese takeaway, and a trip to Frankie & Benny’s within a …

Late Night Hunger Pangs – Light Bites To Eat

by Stacey October 12, 2016October 12, 2016

Usually the most romantic part of the day – night time – can bring out the best of our thoughts. The silence in the night can also heighten our senses and it is one of the best times to indulge in some food for pleasure. As the clock ticks into the night, we can’t help but naturally succumb to our hunger pangs. Often, our options are fairly limited, and we usually end up eating the first thing that we see in the fridge, perhaps a bowl of leftovers – a massive mistake! Instead, it’s a great time to let the …
