Parenthood, Lifestyle & Me!
My children are eating me out of house and home this summer holiday. As soon as breakfast is over they are asking if it is lunch time, seriously how hungry can they really be?? My shopping bill has increased by a good £20 just on snacks and extra “bits” for them, they act like they’ve …
What I ate today (Thursday) wasn’t really that exciting, I don’t know about you but when it is roasting outside my eating habits are all over the shop. One minute I’m not hungry and the next I’m ravenous, anyway here is today’s eats. Breakfast – 6.30am I had one of my favourite combos this morning, …
4 year olds are a tricky bunch to please and I find most of my battles with Charlie are over food. I have learnt very well to pick my battles with both children especially at meal times, so here is what Charlie ate today. Breakfast This morning Charlie ate, sourdough toast with flora spread and …
As a parent you go through phases with your children, the sleep regression, wonder weeks, growth spurts, throwing tantrums and what I think is possibly the most challenging – fussy eating. Amelie was a good eater until the age of 12 months, suddenly overnight she turned into a fuss pot. I found this extremely hard …
Spring has sprung so I am stepping up my healthy eating as, quite frankly, I’ve been eating rubbish just lately. Time for a detox for the next couple of weeks at least, here is my meal plan for this week. Breakfasts Tuesday: Rachel’s Breakfast Organic Yoghurt & Granola Wednesday: Almond Butter & Salted Caramel Moma …
I really enjoy cooking from scratch, some may think it takes too long but personally I love to know what has gone into my food and make sure there are no hidden extras in there. I used to buy my turkey burgers from Asda, the sweet chilli ones are so good but as I have …
For my meal plan this week I want to mix it up a bit and try to have a week of reduced carbs, especially when it comes to dinner time. I’m continuing to calorie count using My Fitness Pal which is working really well and I’ve lost another 3lbs whilst still having treat days/weekends. I …
I’m not going to lie, I think about food all the time – what’s for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. I like finding new healthy(ish) snacks and lunches for the family, I’m really getting into buying “free from” foods as I feel they are kinder on my tummy. I rarely get bloated after eating them …
Since being ill a few weeks ago and totally losing my appetite for what felt like forever, I’m slowly starting to eat proper meals again. Here is what I on Tuesday. Not every day is this carby, some days all I can manage is fruit and my dinner but I was hungry on this day as …
Life has been a little crappy for the last 4 weeks for many personal reasons and I’ve also been under the weather. I haven’t felt like working out or eating clean, I have probably only worked out about 6 times in the last month as I have just lost interest in it. I was working …
