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...

Loosening the reigns
Hey, So you're not gonna believe this but Older Miss (OM) went to the corner shop all by herself today and my heart was in my mouth the whole time. I mean she's basically 10 years old (give or take a few weeks) so I have to start letting go, right? She'll be going to … Continue reading Loosening the reigns
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.

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
