family life & travels
We’ve had a busy half-term this past week which has been really fun. A break from routine is much welcomed after a busy start to the school term. I know it has only been six or seven weeks, but it has seemed to drag. I know the rest of the term leading up to Christmas
I could always be better at going to the gym. But now that Chloe is at preschool more, I get to actually go to the gym during the day, rather than the evening, which means I am much more motivated to go. I try to get a yoga class in each week, a cardio class,

With the warmer weather approaching, I much prefer eating foods that are light and refreshing, like salads and cold dishes. But it is still nice to have something sweet now and again too, right?

For years, governments have been imploring their citizens to eat less meat.
