Colours Colours Everywhere | Book review

by StaceyUpdated on August 12, 2017April 26, 2016

As you can probably tell by now, we really love books in this house! Jacob is already familiar with his colours, whereas Noah is still learning about colours and objects so a book we were recently sent to review – Colours Colours Everywhere – fits the bill for both of these. The Colours Colours Everywhere book itself is hardback, which I do prefer for my children as Noah especially, is a bit of a book ninja (I may have mentioned that before?). The book contains all of the primary colours and those in between, including black & white. Some of the pictures on …

Baby Giveaway Weaning

Weaning faces and an Organix giveaway #realfoodface (CLOSED)

by StaceyUpdated on June 12, 2016April 24, 2016

With my boys being two and four years old now, we are way past the weaning stage but I still remember those first weaning faces like they were yesterday! When we first started weaning Jacob, we started on purees but gradually moved to baby led weaning and we used many Organix products. I will admit, if I gave J a new food and he pulled a face and/or spat it out, I probably wouldn’t try him with it again and I think it turned him into a fussy eater! A weaning survey carried out by Organix showed that over half …

Health Lifestyle Slimming World Weight Loss

Slimming World weigh in #61 – the one where I’m at my lowest again…

by StaceyUpdated on April 20, 2016April 21, 2016

So I was a bit gutted with my weigh in last week after gaining yet again, and even though I knew I had a big meal out this week I was really determined not to have yet another gain. Quite frankly I am getting really annoyed at myself for yo-yo’ing up & down with the same few pounds which I have been doing since Christmas and now we are almost a third of the way through the year! I *only* have just over half a stone to go until the target I have set but it feels like there is no …

The Anchor Beefeater, Scunthorpe | Review

by StaceyUpdated on April 18, 2016April 18, 2016

As a family – and me being the main cook in the house and just not wanting to cook sometimes – we tend to eat out at least once a month and it’s nice to have somewhere different to go. The Anchor Beefeater in Scunthorpe has recently had a complete refurbishment and we were invited along for a meal at the weekend to see what we thought. I’ve never been before so I wasn’t really sure what to expect compared with how it was previously, but I had a great first impression. We arrived just before 5pm and it was …
