The other day, I had one of those crazy moments whereby I couldn’t bear all the lotions and potions in the bathroom, sprawled across the surfaces and it felt so messy. But when it refused to go away, and she became breathless as well, she reluctantly agreed to visit the doctor. In 2010, when my daughter was just one year old, I received the devastating diagnosis of invasive stage 2 breast cancer. I don't stick to the timings though, because I'm not used enough to the whole thing yet so I'm a bit slow.

After all, we are what we eat, and instilling these habits from a young age not only supports growth and immunity but also teaches the vital role food plays in our overall health. But then the breast cancer struck and the couple had to accept the possibility that they might not be able to have any more. The Organised Mum Method (TOMM) is now religiously followed by hundreds of thousands of parents across the country. When I thought about what I could achieve in thirty minutes, it made me think about the TOMM method. Those challenging months forced me to reevaluate life, and I began looking into nutrition to support my healing process and strengthen my immune system.That's when my page shifted focus towards sharing Weight Watchers recipes, low-calorie meal ideas, and tips to support weight loss journeys.

Since his wife Angie’s death in October 2010 he has been a full time dad and mum to the six of their eight children who still live at home with him in Grimethorpe. Because of my breast cancer history, I knew being overweight could put me at more risk of a relapse so I decided that I had to loose weight and take care of myself more.Her novels have been translated into several languages and she has also contributed two titles (one ghostwritten for television presenter Fiona Phillips) to the UK’s Quick Reads Campaign, which provides easy-to-read books for adult emergent readers. My kind neighbour is doing tip runs to the recycling centre for me - another one tomorrow - and says he'll keep doing them until we're clear. Here you will find a collection of healthy recipes for all the family, easy cooking activities with the kids, a peek of my weight loss journey and more.

Weekends are kept housework free so you can enjoy your time off without having to do a mammoth clean at the weekend. I'd like to share the story behind my food blogging journey and the reasons of my passion for healthy eating. If they were stunned to be told that Angie had a shadow on her lung, they were even more stunned to discover that this wasn’t a chest infection or pneumonia. You'll also find ideas for nourishing kids' diets because early exposure to diverse foods promote lifelong healthy eating habits. So in the last months of her life, Angie – a born mother – both compiled a list of ‘rules’ to guide Ian in the future, and also put him on an intensive training course, so he could learn all the practical skills he would need.There are times in our lives when we witness a glimpse of what we are capable of achieving, a glimmer of what we are meant to become.

Imagine having the energy to keep up with the kids, be more productive at work and not fall asleep on the sofa watching Netflix every night. Imagine finding a way to make progress towards your goals that means you don’t have to spend hours (that you don’t have) in the kitchen or gym or avoid social occasions. As I emptied the drawers it dawned on me that this may have the first time I have cleaned out this dreaded drawer in ten years.So the hoovering - I just do a really quick whizz around, it takes no more than about 3-4 mins doing the hall, stairs, kitchen, lounge. Angie, the job done, hadto find the courage to let them go, and Ian and the children the courage to carry on without her. In 2007, Angie – who’d already survived breast cancer in the early nineties – developed an irritating cough. With my second child, my interest in natural health grew, leading to a significant shift in my dietary choices. She taught him howto makeher special chicken curry, how to soothe away their hurts, pack their lunchboxes with all their favouritesand do all the little things she'd done for them so unthinkingly.
