I’ve been thinking recently, how I’ve been guilty of not giving the boys enough of my precious time. Everyone knows that time is precious, but there just doesn’t seem to be enough of it to do everything we need to do – or, is it a case of want? Time goes by too quickly. I have lists for lists of things I need to do, and by the time the day is out I feel like I haven’t even made a small dent in those lists even though it feels like I have been on the go all day long. …
I have to admit that when I was pregnant the first time around, I didn’t attend any antenatal classes as even then I was suffering with anxiety and I was too frightened to, even more so than the thought of giving birth!

I was feeling really great last week after walking away from group with a (very rare at the moment) loss of 1.5lb.

They also love biscuits. And they also love making a mess helping in the kitchen, so the other day we quickly made these Paw Patrol biscuits (animal footprint biscuits really, disguised as Paw Patrol, because that makes it more fun!). There are only 3 ingredients and you don’t really need to do much, though an adult should melt the chocolate of course. For …
After my post-holiday weigh-in last week, I was raring to go and ready for a loss this week. I’ve been on plan since we came back from holiday, and I found it quite easy to get right back into it, more so than I thought. We went to my brother-in-law’s for dinner on Saturday, and I might have eaten a whole pizza – piglet! I was right back on plan on Sunday, though and managed to get a lot of speed food to balance the naughty.
