ConfidentNites update

I mentioned in my last DryNites ConfidentNites post that some of my fellow ambassadors and I were very lucky to be invited along to a sleep retreat at the amazing Alexander House Hotel & Utopia Spa. We were welcomed with a beautiful lunch and then sat down to listen to the three ConfidentNites experts give us some top tips to help on our child’s bedwetting journey. The experts were nutritionist Yvonne Wake; mindfulness expert, Selina Sasse; and sleep expert, Helen Packham. A few of these tips are included in my second vlog below, but of course to get more help personalised to you & your …

I was bit gutted after last week’s weigh in because I am so close to target now and I don’t want to be heading back the other way! I really tried to pull it back this week, and one day at the weekend I made sure I had no other syns so I could try these whirls I made for the bake off – they were delicious 😉 Plenty of speed food was eaten – having fruit every day for breakfast really helps with that actually, and also salads for lunch. It also leaves my healthy extras for snacks. As it’s getting towards …

After reading what each of the challenges would be for biscuit week of The Great British Bake Off, I was still umm-ing and ahh-ing about which one I would do. I ruled out the showstopper immediately though, I couldn’t be bothered with the fuss of a biscuit story construction! After last week’s bake though, I’m surprised I was still considering doing another technical. After watching the show, I did decide on the technical again – I must be mad! I’ve never made Viennese whirls before so this one was yet another new challenge for me. Once again I used Mary’s Berry’s recipe, but …

Our jewellery loves

As a teen I used to wear a watch all of the time, I felt lost without one. And then for some reason I just stopped, and it’s only recently I have started wearing one again. Whereas The Husband, he always wears a watch so he owns more than me! I do own a lot of jewellery, though I am more of a kitsch jewellery kind of person. Although sometimes, it’s nice to wear something more luxury and delicate, for special occasions for example. I’m sure everybody has a piece of jewellery that is their favourite. The Husband bought me a …

Our favourite five – August | Bike rides, biscuits & Beanies

August seemed to fly by. I think it’s because The Husband had a week off toward the end of the month, and so we had a day out and did some last minute school shopping for Jacob. I kind of wanted it to pass by slowly as when September arrived, it meant only another 4 days until starting school! It’s going to be really odd during the week when he’s not here. It will be quiet(er) and I will only have one small person pestering me during the day. But it also means I might be able to get a …
