Slimming World weigh in #54 – the one where I’m up again…

by StaceyUpdated on April 11, 2024March 4, 2016

I never made weigh-in this week as it was Noah’s birthday, and I never got around to writing last week’s update either, so this is it – we will hopefully be back to normal next week! So last week, I was very, very good all week. I stuck completely to my meal plan (we even had a KFC, and I had a rice box at 4.5 syns), and I was within my syns every. single. day (for the first time in weeks – again), I had eaten loads of speed food (both fruit & veg), and I was pretty confident …

Noah

A letter to Noah on your 2nd birthday

I have mentioned recently that we have had sleep issues with both boys. We made some changes to Noah’s routine, so it was different to Jacob’s (where we had the most problems). He does seem to be better at bedtime, though sometimes he can be a proper little monkey (like a few nights ago when he headbutted me in the mouth – ouch). In order to try and improve this some more, a few weeks ago we added a new bedtime story to his routine – The Rabbit Who Wants To Fall Asleep.

5 great alternatives to the traditional party bag

This is the year that I find myself organising the fourth birthday party in a row, only this time it will be a joint one for the boys. It will be Jacob’s 4th, and Noah’s 2nd. As we are now living in a house with plenty of outdoor space, I wanted to make this birthday special for the boys and have a party with a bouncy castle!
