Full-time working mum of three littles, navigating parenting and staying (mostly) sane, somewhere in the middle of England. I'm passionate about trying to remove ultra-processed foods (UPFs) from our diets, and raising active and happy kids.
I mostly post snippets about #parenting, #food, #books, (occasionally) #investing and other titbits of life. Say #notoUPFs!
@wnd ... I don't think Hannah Montana would be your cup of tea, but we don't judge here - anyone is welcome! You are far cooler than me 😅
My main music preference is rock (with a particular fondness for early 2000s), but HM is pure nostalgia and escapism for me
@wnd 🤣 it's the 20 year hannah-versary special!
I'm an elder millennial, so *almost* too cool to watch it, but I'll claim I was just keeping my younger sister company 😇
I definitely do not remember all of the words to all of the songs...
So, millennials... we're all watching Hannah Montana tonight, right?
uk loading gauge data added thanks to @wnd
i was really hoping for it to be a bit more interesting but it turns out that british trains are fairly uniformly tiny
(HS1's GC gauge annoyingly not in the data before anyone asks :) )

@wnd not yet - but I should! He does enjoy maths (when he can concentrate), so he'd probably get the hang of it pretty quickly...
I didn't want to argue with him when he admitted he liked something I made 😅
I've been creating again... It's nothing new or particularly innovative, but I made 'oreo' ice cream sandwiches. The kids love the shop bought ones, but they're so expensive...
These homemade equivalents are UPF free, and way cheaper. Plus no packaging, so can I argue they're better for the environment too?
Eldest son (a particularly picky eater of late) gave them 1000000/10, so I'm calling this a win

Kids are naturally intuitive eaters, and I'm trying to keep this going for as long as possible. So, when daughter asked if she could have some cherry tomatoes I responded with "of course you can!"
She ate the entire bag of cherry tomatoes... the entire bag. And it wasn't a small bag.
Not sure if this makes me a good or bad parent, but she met her vitamin c goal for the day 😅
When you ask the 6 year old to get her own socks and shoes on...
School shoes and fluffy reindeer socks it is!
Daughter has so many books in her bed now that she's sorted them into fiction and non-fiction piles...
I think it might be time to get her some proper bookshelves
