Fun Photo Fun - Mirror, Mirror On The Wall

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest Bob of all? Bob loved the mirror fun in one of the many toddler play areas at Wheelgate Adventure Park. We will be definitely visiting again! My Fun Photo Favourite from last week was from Char over at The Epic Adventures Of A Modern Mum. It was a beautiful post about the island of Antigua where Char was born. I loved looking at the gorgeous photos as it reminded me of [click here to read on]

Jammie Dodgers

Since I have realised the cause of my twin bump I have had to be careful about what I eat. I am now quite wary of shop bought biscuits and cakes which is a good thing as I love baking! The other day I wanted to make some Jammie Dodgers. I have been searching for a biscuit recipe that can be used with cutters for some time as, although my Scrummy Yummy Cookies are delicious, Bob enjoys rolling (smushing) the [click here to read on]

Post-Childbirth Incontinence - Guest Post

Did you hear the one about the woman with incontinence who just went with the flow? OK, not a very funny joke, but with some issues it does help to break the ice a little bit first. After all, incontinence is not exactly the sort of subject you’ll natter about with your friends in Costa’s. That’s not to say it isn’t an issue that many suffer from, especially given the physical toll that pregnancy and childbirth takes on you and [click here to read on]

A Rainbow Race For Life

I have always thought that the Race For Life was for breast cancer. I knew that only women took part and as everyone wears pink I assumed that it was to help women fight against breast cancer. That was until my friend Nadine asked me to join her in her mission. Nadine is the bravest person I know! We used to work together a few years ago when we were both studying for our childcare qualifications. Back then our worries [click here to read on]

Born To Shop

As I have mentioned before, I love online shopping! If I need a dress for a special occasion I will go, kicking and screaming, to Meadowhall but other than that I will happily shop online so that I can try on at my leisure and I do not have to endure traipsing around every shop only to find that nothing fits me. Bob also likes to shop online. My husband doesn’t like me encouraging this habit. I think he fears [click here to read on]

Fun Photo Fun - Backgrounds

When I have been making my blog buttons I have been over complicating things. To take Bob’s head from a photograph I would use photoshop elements, create a background copy, delete the original background, zoom in so that I could see each pixel and slowly draw around her head with the eraser to remove the background from the photograph. It used to take hours! I had tried the magnetic lasso but I could never get it to work. I knew [click here to read on]

Twin Bump Mystery Solved!!!

I have finally found an answer to my twin bump! For months I have thought that this was just the way my body was after having Bob. When it got to the stage that people were referring to me as ‘the pregnant one’ I thought that maybe my bump was a bit out of the ordinary. I also started getting stomach pains, tummy ‘troubles’ and feeling generally unwell so I decided to mention it to the nurse when I went [click here to read on]
