Hey Friend, how’s things? You won't believe how cold it is at the moment. It is absolutely freezing here in England. The frost covering rooftops and grass looks gorgeous but who actually wants to be outside in this chill? I’m sure someone enjoys winter but I’m really not a fan. I do, however, enjoy Christmas … Continue reading There’s a bit of a chill in the air…

I scream, you scream…
Hey Friend, So, you're not going to believe this but having done my detox (and lost some pounds, I might add) I've now turned into you and can't stop thinking about ice cream... I suppose on the up side - I'm doing a lot of thinking about ice cream and not a lot of eating … Continue reading I scream, you scream…
Who said play-dates were fun?
Hey Friend, You're not gonna believe the day I've had! I should now be stuffing my face with chocolate whilst watching some nonsense on the tv to forget but it's the summer holidays so the girls are still up - and, more importantly - I don't actually have any chocolate!!! Yes, this is a truly … Continue reading Who said play-dates were fun?
Breakfast treat – two words that do not go together…
Hiya, So, you're not gonna believe this but it's half term again (I know, right?). Weeks ago, Little Miss and I found this recipe for 'morning muffins' - really healthy 'cakes' (I use the word loosely) made with oats and Greek yogurt amongst other things. As a treat I thought I'd make them one day … Continue reading Breakfast treat – two words that do not go together…
Woman down
Hey Friend, How are you? So Older Miss came back from her trip and - you're not gonna believe this, but peace reigned in our home for a full hour! The girls were so pleased to see each other that it was all "No - you have the last sweet" and "No - you read … Continue reading Woman down
To detox, or not to detox…?
Hey there, So you're not gonna believe this but I am one child down this week - Older Miss has gone away with school and it feels very weird. I know it's all part of growing up but we all had a snuggle in bed at the weekend - well, Mr E, Little Miss and … Continue reading To detox, or not to detox…?
Work, work, work…
Hey friend, You're not gonna believe this but the girls are on holiday - again! I know - doesn't it seem like half term was just a couple of weeks ago? I do love having them home though and being able to be home without having to compete with the other mums at work for … Continue reading Work, work, work…
Happy Mother’s Day
Hey there, You're not gonna believe this but yesterday was Mother's Day and I spent a big chunk of it childless - the irony is not lost on me but it was blissful all the same. Having woken up with a miserable cold and not being able to enjoy the obligatory Mother's Day lie in (Mr E … Continue reading Happy Mother’s Day
Sugar? Yes, please!
Hey, How are you? You're not going to believe this - well, actually, you are - my love affair with sugar is back - help me before I gorge myself on more biscuits! How many times have we said we're cutting out sugar for good, only to be sucked back in? I thought it would … Continue reading Sugar? Yes, please!
Chocolate
Hey friend, You're not gonna believe this but my children are driving me to chocolate... Seriously. Yes, I'm saying that I hold them wholly responsible for my lack of will power. Let me give you an example - weekends (or random inset days, or general holidays from school...) - suddenly it's as though they've never … Continue reading Chocolate
