Strawberry cheesecake Eton mess | Recipe (Slimming World friendly)

by StaceyUpdated on August 13, 2017April 29, 2016

Okay, so this isn’t an actual cheesecake or Eton mess, but it is quite reminiscent of a mixture of both of them! I just chucked it together the other night when I fancied some dessert, but I couldn’t have fruit & yogurt as I was doing an EESP day so I just got some ingredients from the fridge and cupboard and came up with this. You could of course change the fruit in it, and the flavour of the Hi-Fi bar, but I thought it was really tasty just like this. It takes just five minutes to whip up too, and you could …

Living With a House Full of Boys | Blogger Guest Post

by StaceyUpdated on February 5, 2026April 27, 2016

I have a guest post today from Maria over at Suburban Mum. She is posting about something I am also very familiar with, being the only female in the house – living with a house full of boys!

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 …

Power of attorney: what you need to know It’s scary to think about it, but there might come a time when you’re no longer able to manage your own affairs.

This is where the power of attorney comes in. In this blog, we take a look at this legal arrangement and the reasons why you may want to consider taking advantage of it.
