Life This Week 28/8/2017: Mindfulness.
Mindfulness. The ability to bring your attention to the present. A state of mind that correlates strongly with a greater sense of well being. Also a quality I find very challenging to bring to my daily life for even a few minutes at a time. I’ve been trying to find out why it’s so hard…

So Then My Mojo Returned.
I’d always thought of my life as being pretty simple when it comes down to it. Set routines, set responsibilities and even set things I could count on to love or loathe. Then I Slightly Fell Apart With The Flu. Some weeks later I Recovered From The Flu. And over the last few days, I’ve…

Lovin’ Life 24/8/2017: Family Fun.
We’ve had some very special people come to stay this week and Preschooler SSG has been beside himself. He’s taken my mum and aunty to all his favourite places and he’s baked for them as well. Aldi’s organic butter gets two thumbs up from all of at SSG Manor 2.0. Melted butter, an extra egg…

On the Mend.
What a difference a day (and antibiotics) makes. I’ve risen from the barely alive in truly miraculous fashion. I’ve even been down the road to get myself a coffee and pick up my shirts from the dry cleaners. I had no idea getting your shirts professionally laundered and pressed was so inexpensive. This could…

Life This Week 21/8/2017: Really Sick.
www.naturalbedcompany.co.uk I’m never calling it the manflu again. I’ve just survived a particularly bad attack of it and I’m just glad to be sitting upright and out of bed this morning and feeling around 25% human again. The thing about good health is that you tend to take it for granted until it’s unceremoniously taken…

Lovin’ Life 17/8/2017: The Missing Ingredient.
This weekend coming up has been scheduled to within an inch of its life. I’ve got family coming to stay, things to do, places to go and cakes to bake. Surprisingly, it’s the planning for the cake that’s proven to be the biggest challenge. via Google images I’ve got my heart set on baking this…

Under the Weather.
It was pretty much inevitable, I suppose. Finding myself on my day off with a low grade temperature and all the symptoms Preschooler SSG had last week. I’ve hastily revised the menu for dinner tonight. It’s going to be jelly cups with tinned fruit for me. With bonus calories and caffeine from the drinks I…

Life This Week 14/8/2017: My Ideal Meal.
I have a confession to make. I’ve been a bit complacent about my diet over the last few weeks. The cold weather has been an excuse for ‘just a bit more’ and because it’s ‘home made and vegan’ portion control really isn’t an issue. Don’t vegetables have close to zero calories anyway? My clothes are…

Life’s Just A Bit Like That, Sometimes.
You know what? Life’s just a bit like that, sometimes. You begin the day wearing a wide grin, a full face of makeup, good hair and an outfit entirely made up of ‘dry clean only’. Your Preschooler is now back to 90% of his usual self and to celebrate you walk his scooter and him down…

A Low Key Birthday Weekend.
Happy Birthday Weekend to me! My Sephora birthday gift arrived in the post this week. It’s going to be a quiet one because my favourite little preschooler is still under the weather. He’s been home since Tuesday without showing any signs of cabin fever. Very unusual for him but the colour is returning to his…
