Back on the healthy bandwagon!

  June ‘12 vs June’13 I hardly weighed myself when I was pregnant, so when a couple of days before I was due to give birth I had to be weighed and my BMI noted to be given to the anaesthesiologist, I asked what I weighed. It was near on 4 stone heavier than I had been when I got…

No 7 Gel Cleanser vs Naturally Radiant hot cloth cleanser

Vs I bought the No7 Melting Gel Cleanser(£9.00) or £4 with a voucher)  with a £5 off boots voucher, as I was running out of my Superdrug Naturally Radiant hot cloth cleanser (£5.99 but half price at the moment) so thought I’d compare the two, although they are slightly different products they claim to do more or less the same…

Athena at 7 weeks

Apologies if you’re not a baby fan, feel free to skip this post! Athena is 7 weeks old now, much bigger than she was at birth (obviously!) and growing at a rate of knots, her legs and arms are chubbing out, she is smiling lots and holding her head up more often than not (which is a relief as we…

In which I am busy and too hot

This week we spent our first night in the new house, Thursday night. We then went back to the old house and cleaned it on friday, and on Saturday I went out out, as in out for an evening without Athena for the first time… During the week we ate out lots due to packing up the kitchen first/it being…

What’s in my handbag

  I’m a nosey bugger and love reading these posts (and posts that show the insides of peoples houses/drawers/wardrobes etc!) but I’ve not done a ‘what’s in my handbag’ type post since January last year, where I videoed it. I carry a lot less with me now, but this is a slightly smaller bag, and I’ve been using it for…

In which I have too much to do…

So this last week has been pretty hectic, and so will next week be! We put my car back on the road after FOUR YEARS of it being sat in the underground car park at work slowly rotting away… However I do love the old Banger and now Sam can drive it means we can share long journeys and he…

Tips for moving house!

[.] Although I’ve lived in the house I’m moving out of for over for years, before that I moved about once a year for various reasons, so have worked out various ways to make what is supposedly one of the most stressful things an adult has to do a little easier! Our official moving date is next Thursday, so needless…

Recipe: Simple Flapjack

I love flapjacks, I think it’s because my mum used to make them a fair amount when I was younger, so I know her recipe off by heart. I’d not made them in years until I decided I’d make a batch to take to hospital with me, then ate them all within a day or so, then made another batch…

Let there be lights!

As I mentioned in this post, we’re moving soon (possibly sooner than we thought too!) and now we know we’ve got a bouncing baby girl, it’s making the planning of her nursery a bit easier!! I’ve not bothered making our current spare room into a nursery as we knew we were moving within a few weeks of Athenas arrival, all…

In June I…

Had a baby! Learnt that she instantly had me wrapped around her little finger! Realised that babies make all sorts of weird wonderful but always cute noises… Snuffles, squeaks and snorts! Went to the beach! Realised that breastfeeding in public really is no big deal! Spent a lot of time sat topless (not in public!) due to breastfeeding, its just…
