So “yes” it is possible and even quite fun to make delicious butter at home with your kids. It’s a brilliant way to start teaching your young children about science too. Now excuse the quality of the photographs, I hate the i-phone picture quality and I had very greasy hands and did not want to […]
I watched a documentary on channel 5 a few days ago. An Australian chap with an autoimmune disorder and carrying an extra 100lbs embarked upon a new eating and fitness regime (when he was well enough to exercise) to get well and lose the weight . The regimen was sixty days of nothing but juice […]
I was asked by the lovely @hollybobbs on twitter if I wanted to link up to a post she had written in response to our #SoMum chat on twitter hosted by The Story of Mum about how we see our Mum Body. As always the discussion elicited some passionate responses with mothers daring to love […]

Seriously, it is delicious and do you know what’s even better, it’s (a) really easy, like ridiculously so and […]
So like any woman who needs to lose a few pounds I am on a diet (see earlier post) and as I am a wheelchair with severe muscle weakness and movement problems the ol’ exercising thing is a bit of a bugger. I mean I try adapting exercises to a sitting position but it’s not really the […]
Those four letters are enough to strike fear into even the strongest of hearts. If you think about it, it’s not the nicest of words, there’s no escaping the word “die” in it.
