When you’re pregnant with your first child and just after you’ve had it, you enter a period of utopia where you imagine everything to be perfect. Clean, fluffy blankets. Everything is new.

So today we decided to bake. I cheated as you can see above. I thought with Boo, it would be all about the decorating so I bypassed the baking somewhat. She had a great time putting the cases in the tray Stirring the mixture (after I had a little go myself with the electric mixer)… … [Read more…]
I don’t know if it’s a British thing, but I for one do not like to blow my own trumpet. I don’t even like telling people if I’m happy with something. I can just about talk about my daughter’s achievements but even this doesn’t sit comfortably with me. So when I found out about the … [Read more…]

My friend introduced me to this diet over ten years ago. In my 20s it was a great way to kick-start my dieting if I had hit a plateaux in weight loss. The diet claims you can lose up to ten pounds in the three days. I only lost ten pounds the first time I … [Read more…]
