Exercise

What’s everyone doing to keep fit? I’m 25 weeks now and have stopped weight training because it feels like I’m pulling tummy muscles. Continuing swimming although I feel like I’m bobbing along the water now 😂. Trying to get my steps in daily and yoga… anyone else?

Rushing

I always forget that I'm not in a rush to get anywhere when I walk to the park with my kid. I'm always rushing everywhere and I forget to not make my kids rush. It's a bad habit I'm trying to break. Timely is one thing. Rushed is another.

Whitworths Dates?

I ordered some dates in my weekly Sainsburys shop and they substituted with these Whitworths Dates, I just opted for the cheapest Sainsburys alternative originally. But I’m not sure if these are the right kind of dates? They are really tasty and I don’t see anyone else use this brand, everyone seems to get the huge ...

Slowcooker hack

Hey ladies I love cooking stuff in my slowcooker, especially meat curries/chilli/steak pie/bolognese etc. It makes it so tender for my baby boy (who isnt great with meat that is tougher). Thing is, I find adding salt/chillis at the end of cooking doesnt taste the same (I hate under seasoned food) so I've been cooki...
