A Working Mum’s Guilt….
I know that I shouldn't be feeling guilty right now.I have to work to pay the bills and if I didn't then we wouldn't be able to live in a nice house with nice things.But I do feel guilty - I feel guilty that the children don't know whether they're coming or going as I'm having to rely on different friends and family to look after them every day. I feel guilty that I have to go to work and leave them with other people when it's me who should be spending time with them. I even feel guilty because I'm not giving them the fun Summer Holiday memories that my parents gave me.So, in an … [Read more...]
To all parents of fussy eaters….
Over the last few years, I've read a lot of articles about what do do with a fussy eater to encourage them to try new things, all of them offering advice on how to make your fussy eater less of a fussy eater.

Slimming World Quiche Muffins….
For the last few months (up until I went on my holidays), I've been following the Slimming World plan (on a budget) and I've lost just over a stone altogether.It would have been a stone and a half but the half went back on while I was on my holidays!In an effort to be frugal I wasn't going to a Slimming world group, I was going it alone using some books that a friend gave to me but it was hard work. There was no one to swap ideas and recipes with, no one to really motivate me and no major reason why I couldn't have a bit of a treat and start again the next day.... Or the next.... Or … [Read more...]
