Fell off the wagon last week, again

So, I was doing great last week. Monday and Tuesday were great days, foodwise and exercise. Wednesday started the birthday celebrations for my daughter, with my mum bringing cake and goodies but still I managed to just have a small bit of cake, and stay within calories. Thursday started the birthday party prep, and was … Continue reading Fell off the wagon last week, again

Stuff Everywhere…

I just don't know what to do with it. There seems to be piles of stuff everywhere. When I clean/clear one area, the mess is just moved elsewhere. We've just had a weekend (almost week lol) of celebrating for Little Miss Biz's 5th birthday. We had a little party with her friends here on Friday … Continue reading Stuff Everywhere…

Joined Instagram

I have been on Facebook for years, but I kind of put my foot down and said no that's too addictive as it is, I'm not joining other social medias. So no Twitter, no Instagram.

Little people are amazing!

It's amazing watching a little person learn about the world. We forget they have to learn everything from scratch. I'm sitting here watching my one year old daughter potter around the sitting room here, exploring everything. And she has just seen the laptop over, grabbed a handful of the side of the laptop and squished … Continue reading Little people are amazing!

In Ireland, there's this annual weight loss programme, that is on tv at the moment. And one of the leaders is this wonderful young woman who has had a terrible time trying to become a mother. She has had an ectopic, a late miscarriage and a baby who was born but didn't survive. And she … Continue reading The Gloss is Gone

Happy Valentine’s Day!

I'm not a big person for Valentine's Day, however I love flowers any day so I'll happily take another opportunity to get some flowers. My hubbie picked up some flowers for me the other day, a little bunch of pretty pink roses and a bunch of purple lilies. I told him to get them before … Continue reading Happy Valentine’s Day!
