Jess’ Awesome Banana Cake. Review and Giveaway
I’ve made no secret of the fact that I struggle with body image issues. I wish it wasn’t so, but it is. I’m overly critical of myself, and my diet. To a degree. Whilst I will evaluate the amount of fat and sugar in every food that graces my lips, I don’t believe in extreme diets. I refuse to cut out sugar, carbs, dairy or chocolate. (I did cut out alcohol for a while, but that’s slightly different.) I just think everything in moderation is ok. Except for Pepsi...

In a perfect world, my day would look like this: We all wake up at about 7:30. The kids are happy and content and we all snuggle on the couch for the first fifteen minutes of the day.

Thankfully, I do have a maid. Kind of. But...

This is a sponsored post for Betts Kids. When I was a little girl, my mum took great delight in telling every person we met that I had a foot fetish, a fact that I never really understood. “What was a foot fetish? And if it meant the love of shoes, didn’t everyone have it?” It’s very rare I meet a woman who is not in love with shoes. Even if they are not something she would ever wear for a practical reason, there is something about the X chromosome that has a real...
