Our favourite five - June

So another month has passed in a blur – where does the time go?! It doesn’t feel like summer as it’s supposed to be. Due to the horrendous weather, we have spent more time indoors than outdoors in the last month. On the few sunny days we have had, though, we have enjoyed ourselves outside doing some things featured in our favourite five for June 🙂 (Though I am a little late as I haven’t had any motivation recently, or I’ve been super tired – both have probably gone hand in hand actually!).

Health Lifestyle Slimming World Weight Loss

Slimming World weigh in #70 – the one with yet another…

I was a bit annoyed after my weigh in last week and only coming away with a maintain as I was on plan all week and had nothing to show for it really. I went away from group feeling more determined to get a loss this week, but knowing I had a fundraising event coming up at the weekend, involving afternoon tea, I had already decided I was going to a few EESP days after that, up until weigh in. I don’t know how people manage a full week as I can only just manage a few days without yogurts, pasta, and …

Bedwetting Preschooler Toddler Toilet training

I’m a DryNites ambassador!

It seems like we have been potty or toilet training on & off for the last couple of years now. It felt like we started quite early with Jacob and it was only a few months ago that he decided to just go for it himself and get rid of his nappies during the day. He does still have the odd accident though and although he goes to the toilet right before bed, he will occasionally have an accident through the night too. This is completely normal though as at the age of four, 1 in 4 children do still wet the …

Slimming World weigh in #69 – the one where I’m a bit gutted…

After my small loss at last week’s weigh in and not quite reaching that next stone bracket yet again, I went away from group with my determined head on because I really wanted to break into it this week. I had my meals planned, we had no other plans elsewhere, and we didn’t have any impromptu meals out which could have steered me off track. I didn’t even go slightly over my syns this week, on any day! I can’t remember the last time that happened, to be honest…

Kitchen review Review

The DOT Digital Oven Thermometer | Review

We are definitely meat lovers in our house; don’t get me wrong, we do eat the odd veggie meal, but the majority of our meals involve cooking meat. I find my oven can be a bit temperamental with its temperature, and cooking times tend to vary so I can never depend on that alone to ensure meat is cooked. Obviously this is very important with meat such as poultry, and unless it is cut into like I used to do, then it’s hard to tell if it is properly cooked. That was, until I was introduced to The DOT Digital Oven …
