Creating a Delightful Salad Recipe With Your Little One

A Bit of This and A Bit of That

By

Tuesday September 3 – Describe where or what you come from. The people, the places and/or the factors that make up who you are. Ohh first prompt of Blogtember , how exciting. Hopefully I will last the distance and still this excitable on the last day. When thinking on who I am I do get a bit confused. You see I am a single mum to two teenagers so to start off this makes me a mum. But I don’t feel very mumsy. In my head I am still in my twenties or thirties not hurtling through my forties ...

Good Results So Far

By

Well the weights are still out and further more there is no dust on them as they are getting used daily. The strange stretchy rowing thing is also being used daily although my son nearly catapulted the TV remote across the room whilst ‘trying it out’ so he’s now banned from my toys. One of the most motivating things are the apps I am using. I have one where I scan or look up everything that passes my lips and it tells me how many calories I have left. Linked to that app is another one that ... VIEW POST

A Bullying Issue

By

Did you know.... .... ¾ of children have said they have been bullied. Female bullies are more likely to choose female victims. One third of workplace bullies are women.

It wasn’t till I became a parent that I have become aware of these things. So as a parent what should we be looking out for? And is bullying just a ‘kid’ thing? As A ... VIEW POST

I’m Attempting Blogtember

By

Yes I know Blogtember isnt that an inspiring a name but I din't come up with it so there. A few months back I did Blog Every Day in May on one of my other blogs. In a nutshell it was blogging every day for the whole of May from a prompt that Jenni from Story of My Life had thought up and posted on her blog. Every day we due-fully did our posts, popped over to her post ( once she was up as she is from across the pond) had a read of her post then added our post to that days link up. Sounds easy if ...

A Close Shave

By

My Mum, bless her, and the internet are no a match made in heaven. They get on but my Mum was stung back along by a computer scam and since then she wary of anything and everything. This isnt a bad thing but does mean I am reassuring her lots that the likes of Google and Microsoft are not sitting there reading her emails. This morning was no different when she called me about another scam going around on facebook. This led on to keeping ourselves and kids safe on the internet and its all ... VIEW POST
