Yesterday, I went to a talk by Thomas Power about social media. Before I went, I tweeted that I was going, and excited to see what I could learn. When I arrived at the talk, Thomas told me he had replied to my tweet, so I took a look. He Read more…
This week’s podcast is more about my sugar-free journey, and how I’m coping with my cravings, and the sugar-eating habits of my toddler. [spreaker type=standard width=100% autoplay=false episode_id=5960572] Here are some of the books I’ve been reading lately: That Sugar Book – I reviewed this a couple of weeks ago and Read more…
#LovelyBlogs is a new feature where I share some of the great blogs we have around these days. This week: Poolemamma is run by Jeni. Here’s what she has to say about her blog: Poolemamma is a peek into my daily family life with 3 football mad Read more…
We were sent copies ofThe Great Big Book of Families and Welcome to the Family, both by Mary Hoffman and Ros Asquith for review. I was really excited to receive these, as I know S is getting to that age where she’s likely to notice differences between families – and Read more…
You know how sometimes you’re vaguely aware of something existing, in a sort of “oh yeah, that’s over there…” sort of way, but you’ve never actually been? Riverbourne Community Farm is just over a kilometre from our house, on a patch of land that was always mostly long grass and Read more…

This week was S’s birthday, and with one thing and another I was fairly stressed. I’ve not eaten brilliantly, but it has been better than last week! I think using New Me is helping though; it focuses the mind to have to record everything you eat, but also it shows me Read more…
Anyone who has been following my social media channels of late will know that I’ve become a bit evangelical in my pursuit of the sugar free life. Having half-arsed my attempts at removing sugar from my life for several years, I read That Sugar Book last month, and it was Read more…
Yesterday was S’s third birthday, and I wanted to make it one to remember. She woke up at 4am saying “It’s my birthday today!” Unable to open my eyes, I told her it wasn’t today yet and hoped… we woke up again around 7am. It took her a couple of Read more…
This week has been tough, and something of an eye-opener. I’ve found that I have a real sugar addiction, and a habit too – I’m in the habit of eating (and drinking) sweet things, and when I don’t have sugar I get awful sumptoms – and will binge Read more…
We were sent a copy of Spot the Lamb on the Farm for review, which was nice for S, since she really loves books! This is one of a series of books where you have to find something, including a robot, a dinosaur and a monkey. I chose the lamb one Read more…
In one week, S will turn 3. Besides my reminiscing over how much she’s grown and changed since I was in the hospital with that tiny, orange bundle, this means a change at nursery. She will move rooms. She started off in Ladybird Room, which is for 1-2 year olds. Read more…
This week has been interesting. I’ve not done as much exercise as I would have liked, because I ended up being fairly busy. But my eating has been better, and I’ve cut right back on sugar. Goal for last week I did cut right back on my sugar intake. I’m Read more…
Pan Macmillan sent me a copy of That Sugar Book for review. This book is the tie-in to a film, That Sugar Film which is due to arrive here in the UK towards the end of April. Damon Gameau decided to conduct a Super Size Me-type experiment to illustrate just how bad sugar is Read more…
From your head to your toes, every part of your body changes during pregnancy- especially your skin. Skin conditions experienced by pregnant women range from stretch marks and rashes to melasma, and in some cases, these skin conditions can cause pregnant women some discomfort. Read more…
I can’t believe I’m writing this, but my teeny, tiny baby turns 3 in a couple of weeks. I have no idea where that time has gone. For her first and second birthdays, the decision as to what her present would be was entirely mine. She didn’t understand the concept Read more…
