I find it hard to find ‘healthy food’ appealing, I can’t stick to just meat/fish with veg and feel satisfied, a ‘chicken salad’ with lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber bores me to tears so I decided to use some of my favourite healthy staples, cucumber, sweet potato and pomegranate seeds to…
So First Choice kindly decided to send me an email declaring 53 days until your trip in the sun ‘bikinis at the ready’! Yes I know I booked a holiday almost a month ago, yes I promised myself yep three months to go I can lose plenty of weight in…
So today was back to nursery and I was absolutely dreading it getting Frankie up and out! After starting a new position back in London last month we had finally cracked our earlier routine of waking, teeth, dressed and out the door by 7:20am with no tears upon drop off…

Are you someone like me who HATES filling up, will put a £10 in here and there but never fully fill the tank up and convince yourself you’ve got at least another 40 miles from the point your petrol light comes on? Well after today I will tell you exactly…
So after avoiding it for almost a year of infectious warnings at nursery, it looks like chicken pox has finally shown it’s many scabby faces! Any time my phone rings and the screen displays ‘Nursery’ I honestly grab my phone so fast you’d think it was part of a task…
Deciding to return to work following maternity leave or a career break to raise the munchkins? Looking at going into further education to progress a career choice? Thinking about the financial implications of finding childcare and confused as to which way to go? Below I have tried to summarise childcare options available…
‘So are you thinking of having another one?’, ‘When are you going to start trying for baby number two?’, ‘You know two years is a really good age gap to start trying again!’. Since my little boy turned two I have been asked when baby number two will be making an…
‘One should work as though they don’t children yet parent as though their children are their only job’ – agree? OF COURSE NOT. The role of a working Mum is a conundrum to a lot of people, many people like to have an opinion on it, I have lost track…
I wish I could tell you that our long weekend was full of Easter themed activities.. But I would be lying! I didn’t lay eggs round the garden for an Easter Egg Hunt (we live in a flat), nor did I participate in local Egg Hunt either (the rain put…
