Breastfeeding was one of the most amazing yet most difficult experiences of my life. Whilst I had loads of milk, I struggled with engorgement which meant I had to pump off milk before every feed to allow my babies to latch. And when they did latch I had the most painful let down reflex and they sucked my nipples raw! There is nothing worse than being told your latch is perfect when you are in complete agony! My saviour was Lansinoh lanolin which I used religious after every feed. I've teamed up with Lansinoh to giveaway some fab breastfeeding essentials from their range.

The ageing process starts sooner for some of us than it does for others. Have you ever stopped to think about why that is? The truth is, a lot of it has to do with the lifestyles we lead. Good habits, for example, are known to prevent the onset of ageing. Here are a few you should strive to incorporate into your usual routine to help keep ageing at bay.

After very successful meal planning last week, this week is shaping up to be a nightmare. Between us Husband and I are basically every night this week. This means I'll be eating with the kids or out - so it's a weird week to meal plan. Next week doesn't look great either but hopefully our schedule will calm down a bit towards the end of the month.

Monday - Beef and vegetable casserole

Tuesday - Spag bol

Wednesday - Roast chicken with sweet potato mash, yorkshires, stuffing and peas.

Thursday - Leftover roast chicken risotto with red peppers and spring onions

Friday - Prezzo with Mum (early Mother's Day dinner)

Sat - Out for friend's birthday

Sunday - Out for Mother's Day

February is birthday season for me. My whole family within 5 days - seriously! So cake features lots in my photo roundup this month...
