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
Sleep is for wimps…
Hey, You're not gonna believe this but sleep deprivation is wonderful - no, seriously! Okay, no - not seriously. I do wonder if you ever get to sleep again after having kids. Even before Bubs arrived it was hit or miss if my girls - who are NOT babies - would wake me up. Maybe … Continue reading Sleep is for wimps…
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
