Mum Stuff, Lifestyle & Me!
Here is what my 5 year old eats on a normal school day. Charlie has quite a healthy balanced diet, he does have a very sweet tooth but more often than not he chooses the healthy option. BREAKFAST I like to start Charlie’s day off with a good hearty breakfast as he tends to wake …
Happy Tuesday guys!! I hope you all had a brilliant bank holiday weekend, no school runs – whoop whoop! Lots of people have messaged me to ask what I’m currently eating, so one day last week I tracked everything I ate and here it is. 6.15am This was an early start but I’m used to …
I made it through the day without anymore illness – yay! Here’s what I ate today… Breakfast Yoghurt with a fruit layer, I love these. They are so delicious and not chalky like some thick breakfast yoghurt, plus this keeps me full for hours. Lunch For lunch I made a quick salad of spicy turkey …
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.

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 …
