Jacob at 3 years 10 months old

Updated on

Wow. I thought I had better write an update on Jacob as I have been (kind of) keeping up with then for Noah, and I knew it was a while since I last wrote one, but, I didn’t think it was this long! Six whole months ago! Even the photo from then, he has changed so much. I always mention Jacob’s behaviour in his updates as we have had many troubles and you may remember we went on a course to try and help deal with it. We have been so consistent with lots we learned since then – well, I have anyway …

Slimming World weigh in #50 – the one where I hit a brick wall again…

Updated on

After having a pretty good weigh in last week I was determined to try and get that other 3lb off this week in order to get back to my pre Christmas weight. It doesn’t seem so hard in the grand scheme of things, does it? I was actually doing okay for the couple of days after weigh in, then I hit rock bottom emotionally and ate all kinds of junk. Just some of it being a Chinese takeout, half a layer of a box of Thorntons chocolates, and half a bag of sharing M&M’s – yes, that bad. It was those …

Review & Recipe – Mega Marshmallows & S’mores

Updated on

In this house we love marshmallows and usually have them with a hot chocolate, cream & sprinkles but I have never cooked with them, or played with them either for that matter.

Now from the description I knew they were going to be big, but I didn’t think they would be this big: With marshmallows this size, you can get really creative! I had two things in mind to begin with – tower building and making s’mores!

Do bloggers move house for freebies?

Updated on

Very recently there has been a blog post that has got people bloggers all up in arms – all about whether bloggers have babies just to get freebies. I’m not going to link as we don’t want HIM to get the traffic do we? (Just search on twitter instead). Anyyyyyway…. It got me to thinking, do bloggers move house just to get freebies? I mean, I see LOTS of blogs reviewing homewares, some of them very expensive ones at that. Before they even move (like about 64 times in the last 3 years like that Rachel over at Parenthood Highs …

Slimming World weigh in #49 – the one where I’m on it…

Updated on

So after last week and my non scale victory, it really spurred me on to get my head right back in it. I was on plan every day apart from Saturday when we had an impromptu pizza feast at my brother-in-law’s, but after that I tried my hardest to pull it back rather than just thinking “Sod it!”. Apart from Saturday, I was within my syns every day which I think made a difference as it’s a been a while since that has happened. I still had another 5lb to go until my pre Christmas weight so I was hoping …
