It's been a weird few weeks. Hence the weird title. Headspace. How is your headspace right now? Me, I'm not so sure. My headspace feels like it's been on the worst kind of rollercoaster ride for the last six weeks or so. My headspace is tired. My headspace is wrecked. My headspace needs a lottery win and a month relaxing in Hawaii. I have gone from happy, normal, day to day stuff to stressed out, STRESSED OUT, angry, frustrated, day to day stuff. We have had (survived) school summer holidays whilst both still working and juggling days off and annual leave. ...
Creamy Asparagus Soup #cleanandlean
This has become one of my staple clean eating lunches. The original recipe can be found here. Several ingredients have been changed to make it more of a clean and lean recipe and it still tastes almost decadent! I am currently at the end of week one of Beachbody's 21 Day Fix and fell off the diet wagon spectacularly towards the end of the week. (Envisage potato gratin meets chocolate meets wine carnage. Ouch.) Today (Sunday) I had to go to work for the morning but have spent the afternoon making the most of the smalls being away on a Grandparent visit and meal prepping for the ...
Summer Family Holiday Essentials You Did Not Know You Needed
Holidays are wonderful for families. They give you the chance to slow down and spend some quality time with each other. Often, family holidays are when the best memories are created. Here are some useful tips for making the most of this time together. Something to keep the kids occupied As you know, my little ones love craft projects. They like nothing better than spending an hour making something out of card and sparkles. Having something with you for your kids to enjoy doing in the evening is always a good idea. It means that if you want to you can spend some time in your holiday ...
21 Day Fix No-Fry Fishcakes
So I am currently on a bit of a health and fitness mission. I have decided that 2017 is the year to finally whip myself into some kind of half decent shape. In order to help me achieve this I have set myself a number of challenges. In March I will be taking part in Rocksolid Exeter...1 5k race full of impossible looking mud-filled obstacles that I am utterly terrified about. I am already regretting this decision but is all for a very good cause and I will be running in aid of ELF, the Exeter Leukeamia fund. I will be posting more about this soon. In July I will also be taking part ...
So, this is a little embarrassing…
So, this is a little embarrassing. Awesome. But stuff like this, even despite the awesomeness, makes me come over with a huge dose of awkward blushes. Don't get me wrong, I am BEYOND delighted, but now I have to ask for a bit of help. From you. And I'm feeling a bit awkward. *Bites bullet*. It would appear, somehow, LORD knows how, this little old blog has been nominated for best parenting blog in the UK blog awards. I just read that again. Bonkers I know. But there it is. I have read, re-read, and re-read again the e-mail and that is definitely what it ...
Bright Horizons: Family friendly Food
As the smalls are getting, well, less small, dinnertimes appear to be getting more and more complicated. As their teeny taste buds evolve they appear to dislike more, and more, and more, and more things. *Weeps*. Like many working families we have also fallen foul of the "Let's just give them a ready meal, ping it for two minutes and we know that they will eat it" regime. Easy? Yes. Quick? Yes. Convenient? Yes. Nutritious? Ermmmm...not really. The other MAJOR detrimental impact of this is, their teeny tastebuds having become accustomed to the ...
Wyevale: Breakfast With Santa
This weekend we are feeling particularly festive at Casa B. Today is the day we go to pick out our Christmas tree and yesterday we were lucky enough to be treated to Breakfast with Santa himself. Across the country Wyevale garden centres are offering families the chance to have breakfast, or tea, with Santa and his Elves and yesterday we headed over to Jack's Patch in Teignmouth to do just this. The restaurant area had been decorated, Xmas music played and we set about pulling our crackers and donning our hats. Whist waiting for breakfast the smalls amused themselves with ...
Beautiful Xmas Gift Ideas For Her With Onecklace
This year I am delighted to be working with the lovely folks from personalised jewellery company Onecklace again. I have been lucky enough to review for them before so I was super excited when this little box of loveliness arrived: I was even more delighted when I opened up the above to reveal this: This beautiful silver bracelet is made of sterling silver and carries the 0.925 sterling silver stamp, as does all Onecklace silver jewellery. This one carries my initials, JAB, in a beautiful monographed sphere with a delicate double chain ...
Sorry, not sorry, for my sisters
Oh. My. God. This has been my worst week for a while. I am feeling a bit sensitive but MAN I hadn't expected the fights I have had this week. TRUMP This misogynistic assaulter is even being considered for president? He is delusional. He is beyond insane. He is a sexual predator. He's running for president. CHED EVANS VICTIM This poor girl. I am so utterly disillusioned in the legal justice system, actually THAT JUDGE, who has basically made it impossible for any woman now to win a rape case. Who CARES if she had actually slept with ...
#notnonstick
Having recently suffered a #notnonstick tragedy of my own it seems I'm not alone. The struggle is real people. The irony. At least they taste good. Birthday cake fail. Potato gratin? Massacre in Park City. Happening right now. Cake 1, Robert 0. #nowmyeggslooksad. Now please go and show these poor folk some instagram love. They have suffered enough. ...
