Healthy Lifestyle: Where have I been?

I am sorry I have not kept up to date with my healthy eating blogs, but I have been super busy but am slowly getting things back on track.

I am still continuing on my healthy eating diet plan, however I do allow myself the odd treat, I hardly eat bread, pasta, chocolates etc. In fact I don't really eat that much chocolate any more... and my LOVE for pasta has calmed down a lot considering I used to like to eat just plan pasta on its own!!  Yea I know weird right?!?

I eat lots of potatoes and chicken, I don't tend to eat much pudding and stick to eating my dinner not later than 7pm with the occasion when my partner wants to cook.v

I eat 3 meals a day, and tend to snack a lot less. I go for a brisk walk every day now as well. Taking Tyler out in the buggy too :) Which he loves.

I also drink lots of water!!!!!!!!!!

Well that's a brief update for you guys sorry I have not kept you up to speed again. Shall try blog on my diet more often!! :)


Love and e-hugs Sara

Homemade Bread

Want to give you husband or baby a special treat?! Then try making some homemade bread and soup for the autumn and winter nights to come!!

You will need;

These ingredients make Granary bread if you want just white use 500g white bread flour.

225g Granary bread flour
225g Strong white bread flour
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Caster Sugar
7g Sachet easy blend yeast
150ml Warm Milk
1 Egg Beaten
1 tbsp Olive Oil
100-150ml Warm Water


First thing you will need to do is Mix the flours and salt together in a large bowl, stir in the sugar and yeast. Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the warm milk, beaten egg, olive oil and enough of the water to form a soft, wet dough. 

On a lightly floured surface, knead dough for 10 mins until smooth. Put the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with oiled cling film, then leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in size. The dough is now ready to be shaped.

To make 12 rolls, divide the dough into 12 pieces and shape into rolls. Lightly flour 3 baking sheets. Place the rolls onto the sheets and cover loosely with oiled cling film. Set aside in a warm place for 30 mins or until they have doubled in size. 

Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Brush the bread with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame and poppy seeds. Bake for 15-20 mins until deep golden brown and well risen.

Happy baking everyone! 

I shall tweet pictures of my finished rolls later ;)

Henry 1; Tyler 0

So trying to hoover the house yesterday as per usual upset Tyler quite a lot ... he seems to really dislike Henry ... (henry hoover)

He just screamed and screamed! Every time I tried to put him down he was unhappy and very unsettled. So I ended up hoovering with Tyler in my arms... which was both tiring and added difficulty!!!

I know this blog is totally random and probably boring.. but o well.. Does or has anyone else had this trouble? Because Tyler used to love the hoover and my hair dryer for that matter.

o well never mind..


Love and e-hugs everyone!

9 months

Has it really been 9months since Tyler came into the world?! I couldn't imagine life without him!..

Before I continue this blog I should apologize for forgetting to blog on his 8months "birthday" as you can imagine he keeps me very busy, life has been crazy recently and i've been a little unwell! So we've had a roller coaster couple of months, but now everything is getting back on track... I would have done a Vlog video on this but like I said I'm unwell -- with no voice! So a video is kinda out of the question LOL 

So what's been going on in the world of Mommy ville?!

Well like I said Tyler is 9 months -- that's only 4 months until he turns 1! Crazyy

So what can he do?!

He can walk with his walker all by himself!!
He has 8 ... yes I just said 8 teeth!! ... Which I might add are rather sharp
He can feed himself using his hands
He's learning to drink from a sippy cup
He no longer has baby jars for food.
He loves The simpsons
He can talk Tyler's first words were hiya, yeah and da da.... we are still working on ma ma.. haaa
He can blow a raspberry.
Andddd
He loves making a mess!!

Here are a few photo's of Tyler recently...
