Another place ticked off the bucket list, and a place we will return to again and again. Newbridge House and Farm really stole the show for me at Flavours Of Fingal on Saturday.

If you read my post about Bloom In The Park you'll know that I made a few mistakes on the day. I never really considered the weather or the, em, toddler. I learnt my lesson and decided that we would treat Taste Of Dublin as a Date Night and go solo. These kind of events [...]

18 hours ago by traceysblog Today was one of those lovely family days. Directly followed by an evening of mahem and an 11pm bed-time on a night where he should have slept great. Like, sea air son? Get the memo
18 hours ago by traceysblog I could lie and say that I sat and ate a salad but instead I'll say that I have zero regrets, you have to live and tomorrow is a new day. This is a lifestyle change and sometimes you just need to eat #fishandchips by the sea ☀ #slimmingworld #bray
3 days ago by traceysblog Doing a sensory walk in #playschool I cannot express how sad I am that his play school closes in a few days. He adores it and I have never met people who are so genuine and perfect for the vocation of early years education. I feel such a mix of emotions. On the one hand I feel so lucky that he's had this experience for 6 months.

3 days ago by traceysblog Decided to try something different this week. I made #scanbran cake. They're high fibre cracker breads that you can buy at your SW group. You get 5 as your hexb. Steep 5 in boiling water, drain and mash in to a paste, add two eggs, vanilla essence, cinnamin and sweetner. Add to a lunch box and microweave for 7 minutes. Its quite dry but serve with yoghurt and fruit and its really lovely! Really great for the owl digestive system! Got the idea from @slimwithjoanne Just weighed in at @slimwithlynne group as had no car to go to weigh-in last…
4 days ago by traceysblog Today was one of those really special days with my boy. He was just so sweet and caring & loveable. I must have asked him to repeat what he said at least three times today because it was just so cute. He likes to psychoanalyse his "wee wee" (we potty trained a few weeks ago) and today was "look at size a THAT" and "its giant one I ever see" (the biggest he's ever seen). He then told me on several ocassions that "you the best gul" and "you not bossy anymore" which absolutely cracks me up he reassured me…
5 days ago by traceysblog We'e turned a corner. All his spots are healing and he should be in play school tomorrow. No longer contagious and delighted to be out and about. Amazing how a quick (or not so quick) trip to @supervalu_irl can provide so much entertainment for this little dude! #ipbig #chickenpox #motherhood

6 days ago by traceysblog Yesterday's dinner was Big Mac in a bowl so delicious. The cheese is Tesco light cheese slices (3 as hexa) and there is tonnes of speed with the lettuce, tomato, onion and gherkin. The sauce is 1 tabelspoon of the Hellmann's Chunky Burger sauce (1.5 syn) and it was so delicious. A great SP dinner too #slimmingworld #extraeasy #extraeasysp #foodoptimising #bigmac #burgerinabowl #burger #weightloss #healthyfood #losingweight #lowcarb #salad #healthy #slimmingworldmafia #slimmingworldfamily #slimmingworldcommunity
7 days ago by traceysblog I really thought we were coming out the other end today but his scalp is now covered and he suddenly refused to eat and was crying after a spoonful. Checked his mouth and his tongue and mouth are covered in spots looks so so sore. Day 5 in Chicken Pox land. #pbloggers #ipbig #chickenpox #three #momlife #makingmemories #toddlersofinstagram #irishblogger #mummyblogger #mummyvlogger
