<br />
Hi everyone! I have moved my blog! I had two blogs one called the pampered pout and this one Lilly and me. My first blog was the pampered pout which was my beauty blog and I started to add my mummy posts in but then decided to start my own parent and lifestyle blog. In a nut shell I felt like I had to blog on my beauty blog at least 3 times a week but hit a blogging wall and neglected that blog, Now I have been wanting to start beauty posts again.<br />
<br />
I have to decided to merge my two blogs together and have beauty, mummy, fitness etc posts on different days all in one blog.... I even bough a new shiny URL, check me!<br />
<br />
So this blog is inactive now and if you follow this blog I would love for you to come and follow my new blog <a href="http://www.lillyandme12.com/"><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">www.lillyandme12.com</span></a> or on blog lovin <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/lillyandme2012"><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">http://www.bloglovin.com/lillyandme2012</span></a><br />

Hello! Todays what I ate isn't from today but a post from last week I wrote but forgot to publish so I thought I would post it today. I had a naughty weekend and had a Chinese and we went out for dinner yesterday. I seem to be good in the week but the weekends seem to be my binge days and I know that's whats stopping me loosing weight so I really need to get on that!</div>

<strong><u>Breakfast:</u></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For breakfast lately I have been loving greek yogurt with granola and some sort of berries. In my last what I ate Wednesday I said I didn't really like berries but im trying to change my taste buds and after having this for breakfast every day I now really look forward to it and im really enjoying breakfast. I also love flaxseed which I try and sprinkle on everything.</div>

<u><strong>Lunch</strong></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lunch was something I found through a youtuber when I was looking for weight watchers recipes. Its called Quorn tikka. If you love a little bit of tikka you will love this! I usually put this in a bagel but I only had weight watchers wraps and I added some rocket mix salad and a small amount of light mayo. Yummy!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong><u> Dinner</u></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My favourite way to eat chicken is with Paprika, a little bit of garlic and a sprinkle of pepper. I added a side salad with some tomatoes and cucumber. Tomatoes and cucumber are something else I never used to like but I have just proved to myself if I continue to try things I will like them and try to wean myself off eating those naughty things!</div>

<br />
Hi everyone! I hope everyone is having a lovely bank holiday weekend and enjoying the bit of sunshine we seem to finally be having. Yesterday was sunny and a little warmer than it has been and it was perfect to start bringing out some of Lilly's spring/summer outfits. <br />
<br />
I have started to make youtube videos and I wanted to film a OOTD of Lilly, but let me tell you it isn't as easy as it looks with a toddler! Lilly wouldn't keep still for very long and when she is out and has the freedom to run free in the park, trying to get a outfit of the day video was difficult to say the least!<br />
<br />
I managed to edit it to look ok but im still getting used to my camera and with the sun shining brightly and two dogs to try and handle I think I was trying to do some blur out then focus kinda thing and ended up with it mainly being blury but hey Im learning :) <br />
<br />
Lilly's outfit is mainly from<span style="color: magenta;"> </span><a href="http://www.next.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #999999;">Next</span></a> as it seems to be my favourite place to buy Lilly's clothes from. Her top is a blue with white polka dots on and a cute little pocket with flowers coming out of it, with a button up back. The leggings are from next a couple of months ago but I did buy These dusty pink <a href="http://www.next.co.uk/g39522s4" target="_blank"><span style="color: #999999;">jeans</span></a> to go with this outfit (which Lilly decided to get mud on when she was playing In the garden) <a href="http://www.next.co.uk/g392504s2#739621g39" target="_blank"><span style="color: #999999;">The white frilly socks</span></a> are also from next and her floral shoes are from George at asda. Her headband is from <a href="http://www.whatsinlillyscloset.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #999999;">What's In Lilly's Closet</span></a>April http://www.blogger.com/profile/10713215562280075665noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475599816058592208.post-52405394906077514392014-04-29T06:00:00.001-07:002014-04-29T06:00:28.914-07:00My first weekly VLOG!Hi everyone! I have been wanting to start youtube and vlogging for about 5 years now but I am always too nervous but I have taken the plunge and decided to try and do weekly vlogs so I can kind of document mine and Lillys life. <br />
<br />
This one may be a little bit boring but im still trying to feel comfortable infornt of the camera and basically talking out loud to myself! I would really appreciate it If you could subscribe to my channel <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/Lillyandme12">https://www.youtube.com/user/Lillyandme12</a> and im hoping to do more beauty, mummy videos once I build up some confidence haha! <br />
<br />
Sorry about the choppy editing and random clips but it is my first vlog and I don't know how to edit so im still learning :) <br />
<br />

I cant believe its Easter already! Where is this year going?! I did a post last week on some ideas on things I was adding to Lilly's Easter basket <a href="http://lillyandme12.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/easter-basket-ideas.html">HERE</a> and now I finally have the basket ready and waiting for Lilly to come down in the morning.<br />
<br />
Since my previous post I added a little bunny teddy which I bought Lilly before she was born but its one that has just been with her other teddies and I thought I could re use it although he looks a little sad in this picture. I also added a peppa pig dinner set which includes a cup, bowl, spoon and a chocolate egg which I picked up from asda. The cute little bunny ears are from Tesco and I hope to get some pictures of her wearing them but I doubt they will be on for long! I wanted to get the traditional wicker Easter basket but I found this small basket in b&m bargains and thought I could use it in Lilly's room or reuse it for other occasions and it was only £4!<br />
<br />
I'm excited for Lilly to see this in the morning. Its waiting downstairs on our coffee table for Lilly to see when she comes downstairs. If you have made a Easter basket this year I would love to see them so please link below :)<br />

<br />
Easter weekend has fallen on my birthday this year and we are trying to take full advantage and have a family filled week. We were planning on going to whipsnade zoo on Monday but looking at the weather yesterday the bank holiday weekend is in for some rain and we decided to make a last minuet plan and go yesterday whilst the sun was out. Turns out when we got there it turned cloudy and was really cold but we still had a good day.<br />
<br />
Its the first time we have taken Lilly to a zoo. I thought she would love it however her attention span was about 5 seconds and with the busy crown and not being able to get close to the animals she was a little over it until we got into the little petting farm section. Lilly loves being able to stroke animals and was so excited to see these little miniature goats which you could stroke. We spent most of the day in here as she didn't want to leave them and thought they were cows and repeatedly said moo!<br />
<br />
If anyone came to stoke the miniature goats she would look at them as if to say 'get away' and guard them. Whipsnade also have a big play area and lots of places to eat. Whilst we were walking around we saw these little animals ( I don't know what they are kind a big rabbit/kangaroo) and a female came out of her little burrow with 3 babies that had just been born and was also giving birth to another which was crazy to see.

The sun was shining today and it is starting to feel a little warmer which means its perfect for getting outdoors. I love going for family walks and taking Lilly to feed the ducks. We are lucky where we live to be surrounded by lakes and country parks where there are always lots of wildlife and new areas to explore. I'm trying to take more pictures of our little adventures and share them on here.<br />
<br />
Lilly loves to pick daisy's. We are constantly stopping to the sound of a little voice saying 'daisy daisy' and having to pick one from every bunch for her, We came across to beautiful swans who we fed some bread to. These two swans were so calm and were reaching to get the bread out of our hands. I haven't ever really been so close to a swan I could nearly touch it but how beautiful and big are they?! <br />
<br />
My two boys are in need of a good groom but I love this photo of rocky, he looks like he is smiling haha!<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
For breakfast today I had porridge with semi skimmed milk and a couple of raspberries and strawberries on top. Im not the biggest fan of any berries but I know they are good for me and im really trying to change my taste buds and mixing them with porridge seems to help.</div>

<u> Lunch</u><br />
<br />
Lunch I usually always eat the same thing and I get stuck in a rut. I have been trying to eat different things for lunch and choosing more healthier options. I had a Warburton's thin with 1 slice of wafer thin cooked ham, some lettuce and a few cherry tomatoes. Also for a little snack I had a hand full of grapes. <br />

<u>Dinner</u><br />
<br />
Dinner was a bit of a nightmare. I tried a new recipe for garlic butterflied chicken. I ordered polenta from Tesco but they sent me the normal polenta not the dried stuff so it doesn't look the best but it still tasted ok. It was basically polenta, garlic and mixed herbs on chicken with a salad.<br />
<br />
<u>Snacks</u><br />
For snacks I had some quavers and a slice of brownie I made yesterday in my previous post,<br />

I Haven't done a bloggers weight loss Wednesday post for a while, simply because I fell of the bandwagon a little! I'm back on it though but I need those little naughty treats every now and then so I don't completely fall off the waggon and order a Chinese and binge. I wanted to share with you a brownie recipe I have been making recently. These aren't exactly low cal brownies but they are better than normal brownies. I goggled low cal brownies and came across a recipe which was for weight watchers brownies. They are 7pp each which is still high but a damn bit better than 11pp for other brownies. These taste so, so good! Honestly they taste better than any other brownie I have made before. These one I cooked on a high heat for a shorter time and they came out sort of fudge like in the middle which I really like. Previously I have put them in for on a lower heat for longer than the recipe and they are more gooey in the middle and still very moist.<br />
<br />
Ingredients<br />
250g Dark chocolate<br />
175g butter, unsalted<br />
3 medium eggs<br />
25g splenda granulated sweetener<br />
60g white self raising flour<br />
1 teaspoon baking powder<br />
100g walnuts (optional) <br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 190oc<br />
<br />
Step 1<br />
Put the chocolate and butter in a heat proof bowl and rest over boiling water.Leave until melted.<br />
<br />
Step 2<br />
whisk eggs in a bowl, gradually adding the sweetener until combined. whisk in the melted chocolate.<br />
<br />
Step 3<br />
Sift in the flour and baking powder<br />
<br />
Step 4<br />
Add to a baking tin and bake for around 15-18 mins<br />
<br />
Leave to cool and then cut as desired and store in a airtight container.<br />
<br />

Easter is only around the corner and I thought I would share some of the goodies I have picked up in the last couple of weeks for Lilly's Easter basket. I did a Little Christmas basket for Lilly after seeing Kerry from <a href="http://www.ohsoamelia.com/"><strong><span style="color: black;">Oh so Amelia's blog</span></strong></a> and I thought it was a good idea and wanted to do it for every holiday possible!<br />
<br />
I don't want to fill it with sweets or chocolate but other little things I could find. Here are some of the goodies I have picked up. I'm still waiting for a few other little bits and the actual Easter basket which I want a white wicker basket and have seen one on ebay which I will do another post on the completed basket once its finished.<br />
<br />
I went to hobby craft a couple of weeks ago and picked up the fill able eggs. I don't plan on filling these they are just for Lilly to play with as for some reason she is obsessed with eggs and colourful things. I also picked up some pink straw and this cute little pink bunny basket. We will be away for the Easter weekend and where we are going have a Easter egg hunt so I thought this would be cute for her to use to collect some eggs.<br />
<br />
From a shop called the range I picked up this adorable 'palm pet' chic which chirps when held in your hand. Lilly loves birds and I thought this would be a cute little toy. One of my dogs also loves this too much and when I was trying to take pictures of it chirping away he was going crazy!! I also picked up a 6 pack of mini chicks for decoration and some 3d stickers.<br />
<br />
From asda I bought this bunny mouth and teeth lolly and also a cute little Easter colouring book from Tesco. I did also get some white and pink bunny ears which I forgot to photograph but I will add in it the Easter basket post.<br />

Hi everyone! I wanted to share some of the apps on my iPhone Lilly is currently loving. I'm always looking for new apps for her and really like reading these. Now I know that there is mixed opinions on toddlers/children playing with technology and there are a lot of mums who are against it. I'm not against letting Lilly play on my phone or tab, granted I don't let her constantly play on them and her time is limited however in certain situations toddler apps have really come in handy and saved me from a mummy melt down!<br />
<br />
Most of the apps on my phone or tab are educational apps. Lilly is a very independent girl, she hates being sat still and is constantly wanting to run around. This makes it very hard to go out for meals or even on long car journeys. I let Lilly play on my phone if we are out and she starts to get bored and a little restless or if we are on long car journeys.<br />
<br />
My favourite apps are the fisher price apps. They are all educational and Lilly loves the puppy. The app Puppy play is basically all the fisher price apps in one and you can make little play lists. Another of Lilly's Favourite is elmo calls, I think this was 69p and its like face time but to elmo and they can see themselves in the bottom corner, Lilly loves to call elmo and knows how to answer the phone to him when he calls.<br />
<br />
Itot is basically flash cards. I love flash cards, I have used them for a long time with Lilly and they really helped her learn words, her animals, letters shapes etc so when I found a app on my phone for it I was really pleased. Itot is the app I would recommend to everyone. Its a free app and has animals, food and things. It comes up like a flash card with the word at the top and then a picture and when you tap it says the word.<br />
<br />
If your have a child that loves Micky mouse club house you need to download Appisodes. Its basically a episode of Micky mouse clubhouse but they have to do little tasks throughout.<br />
<br />

I received my first Graze box in the post yesterday and was excited to see what was inside. I have known about Graze for a long time and have always wanted to order one but I wasn't sure if it was going to be just pure nuts but after seeing others graze box's and seeing all the yummy goodies I had to try one for myself.<br />
<br />
The box itself is a snacking box filled with four healthy goodies. The idea is that you can have them delivered to work or home and will replace those naughty snacks and stop you hitting the vending machine or reaching for that chocolate.<br />
<br />
When you order your box, there's a list of the foods graze provides and you can say which ones you would like to try, which you don't and things you would like them to send soon. This is a really good idea as somethings I would hate to receive and others I really wanted to try.<br />
<br />
My first box was really good, and im hoping its not one of those one box wonders to kind of suck you in but only time will tell.<br />
<br />
This week I received, healthy popping corn, tutti fruiti, honeycomb flapjacks and smoky gazpacho dip. The pop corn tasted so nice, just like normal sweet popcorn and was the first time I have ever had to 'pop' corn in the microwave. I ate the pop corn straight away. Today me and Lilly had a flapjack each which we both loved, they were so tasty and the little bit of chocolate on top makes the difference. I really wanted the flapjacks as everyone raves about them. I also tried the Gazpacho dip, and oh my it was so good!! I hadn't ever heard of it before but I hope I get this again.<br />
<br />
To order a graze box you can do so<a href="https://www.graze.com/uk"> here</a> and if you use my friend code APRILN4KP you can get your first box free! <br />
<br />
Have you tried graze yet?

Happy mothers day!! I hope all you lovely mummy's had a lovely day! I know this is a little late for a mothers day gift idea but I couldn't share it until I gave it to my mum and mother in law as I know they sometimes read my blog and I wanted to make it a little surprise.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love thoughtful gifts that have been handmade. I saw on a blog at Christmas that someone made all their family cookies and put them in different jars and decorated them all pretty and festive and I thought It was such a lovely idea and knew I wanted to use the idea.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These were a little gift to 'nanny' from Lilly, Lilly loves to bake cookies with me, she helps me mix and roll out the dough then she will use the cookies cutters to cut out the shapes. We bought 101 cookie cutters in a set from amazon ages ago and it comes with all different festive cutters, letters & numbers. We<span style="background-color: white;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;">spelt nanny</span> and made some heart shape ones too.</div>
<br />
Lilly's favourite part is to help decorate them I make up the icing and she will get a spoon and 'sploge' it on (usually next to) then I put a bowl with all the decorations and she will pick them up individually and 'sprink spink' as she says.<br />
<br />
The actually jar itself I picked up in the range for 79p. We wrapped the cookies in tissue paper and put them in the jar and then cut around the edges. The lid of the jar was gold with writing on so I just wrapped it in tissue paper and glued it to the lid (didn't do a good job but hey ho!) I made the label using scrap paper with a butterfly as Lilly is obsessed with them at the moment and thought it was a sweet touch.<br />
<br />
This cost me less than £5 to make and I think it was a really nice little gift and we will definitely be making more for other occasions.<br />

Hello guys! I have really been into trying to live a healthier lifestyle lately and wanting to exercise and loose some weight just to feel happier in myself. I have been wanting a polar watch for a long time. My Instagram feed is full of photos of peoples workouts and showing how much calories they burned.<br />
<br />
The nearest gym to me is miles away and with Lilly its easier for me to work out at home and outdoors. I do a lot of workout dvds and youtube videos. I also go for a lot of walks with Lilly and the dogs and we also have a mini gym set up at home with a cross trainer etc which does have a little calorie thing on it but it doesn't work properly and I don't feel it gives a correct track. Knowing how many calories I have burned some how pushes me to work harder, I have a number of calories I want to burn and If I don't reach it I work harder and the polar FT4 is perfect to show me how many calories I have burned.<br />
<br />
Polar has various watches which do similar things. I decided to buy the FT4 mainly because it is the cheapest and does everything I want it to do. The Polar FT4 retails at 69.99<a href="http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/9057982.htm"> here</a> which admittedly I thought was maybe a little expensive for a calorie tracker/heart rate monitor but im glad that I bought it. The polar FT4 comes in a little black box and is available is various colours. It comes with a heart rate monitor and strap which is slightly elasticated the you clip around just under your bra line and attach the monitor. Under the strap does have to be slightly damped to work properly and doesn't feel uncomfortable but when I have a sports bra on its a little awkward.<br />
<br />
When you first set up the watch it is set to your personal stats to get a correct reading of calories. The screen Is simple and clear and just looks like a normal watch with date and time. When the side buttons are pressed it bring up the menu where you can start your tracking and also scroll through the previous readings. It tells you the duration you worked out for, your heart rate, calories burned and how long you were in zone for. The inzone feature is what your heart rate should be between when working out. If your drop below or go above it bleeps at you to tell you.<br />
<br />
This watch has really helped me when working out, and if your do a lot of home workouts and would like to know how many calories you are burning I would highly recommend this watch.<br />

Let me tell you, trying to get a picture of Lilly keeping still is a massive task! When I asked her to stand still she thought it was a funny game and ran away as quickly as she could haha!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Matalan is somewhere I have never really thought to buy toddler clothes from but I saw another blog post on some really cute pieces and thought I would have a look. They do have some really nice things, especially their baby section! I picked up a few dresses for Lilly including this black and white little number! I paired it with black tights from next and these cute little ballet pumps with a glitter heart detail on the front. Then as always Lilly either has a clip or headband on from my shop what's in Lilly's closet.</div>

Hi everyone! I have been wanting to bake some banana bread for a while now for Lilly to try. Lilly hates bananas, not because she doesn't like the taste but she hates the look and feel of them so wont touch them anymore and I wanted to find a way that I could 'hide' the banana so she will eat them (I do this with a lot of fruit and veg) and what better way than a 'light banana bread'<br />
<br />
I recently purchased 'Lighter way to bake' by. Im obsessed with cooking and baking healthy meals recently and im trying to make all of our family meals healthy and made from scratch by me. I am guilty of eating processed foods when I cant be bothered to cook or we get in late but recently I have been food prepping to help and avoid hitting the freezer for unhealthy processed foods. This also goes for our 'treats' I have been baking all of our treats and making lighter versions of them for me, Lilly and Mike.<br />
<br />
Lighter way to bake is perfect for yummy recipes which aren't as guilty or added ingredients which are good for us. I found this banana bread recipe and decided to bake some today.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ingredients: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
25g rolled oats</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4 just overripe bananas</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
200g self raising flour</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
50ml maple syrup</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
25g unsalted butter, melted</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
50ml olive oil</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
pinch of salt</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pre heat oven to 180oc and line a loaf tin with baking parchment (I used a silicone bread case which is stick free)</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3SmcoQSNKKx2-t2ZfvRtREUwkp4vAK_l05q5UKZaMQqdUZ98JZlleydHEGdOdH1P3vwTA40X9HaudyOKyhIzf_bZ4erCscz019IZAj40QGDvSfZMoroeveoqpbl8jSuPNd5oSo_ZXHV4/s1600/bb+ingredients.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3SmcoQSNKKx2-t2ZfvRtREUwkp4vAK_l05q5UKZaMQqdUZ98JZlleydHEGdOdH1P3vwTA40X9HaudyOKyhIzf_bZ4erCscz019IZAj40QGDvSfZMoroeveoqpbl8jSuPNd5oSo_ZXHV4/s1600/bb+ingredients.jpg" height="370" width="640" /></a></div>
<strong>Step 1:</strong> Scatter about 1/3 of the oats in the bottom of the loaf tin. Cut 1 of the bananas into 1/2cm thick rounds and lay them over the oats evenly.<br />
<br />
<strong>Step 2:</strong> Peel and roughly mash the remainly bananas in a large bowl. Add the flour, maple syrup, butter, olive oil, salt and remaining oats mix everything together until well mixed to a soft dropping consistency.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWoHepB31gsJFQ0tzMpGqSyK2IegasrS68ppZQlL7QJ5tJDAsE0E7SwFTsT8G4nw_g28boEHk5SLOYO_zYhvMc9dp2UjaBU25EaRNRVCJJ_D3KQodcZIDkU-3YqZQJmSMO7vX6N1kcguc/s1600/bb+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWoHepB31gsJFQ0tzMpGqSyK2IegasrS68ppZQlL7QJ5tJDAsE0E7SwFTsT8G4nw_g28boEHk5SLOYO_zYhvMc9dp2UjaBU25EaRNRVCJJ_D3KQodcZIDkU-3YqZQJmSMO7vX6N1kcguc/s1600/bb+1.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<strong>Step 3:</strong> Carefully pour the mixture into the loaf tin on top of the bananas. Spread evenly and bake for 45mins.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPFfyJTqeNcsssymKjEy9yXMSK7W_pFaHSUzPfpPG1AwOSpZxejEbTn_LTdhTgLWRv7WsR1n6KPVv7NcuG4VUIqt23rvZBTiKei0p2JeoFfsSnZZe9VA3AMV0WFOXr2-44Vf_tPnGyuYI/s1600/bb+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPFfyJTqeNcsssymKjEy9yXMSK7W_pFaHSUzPfpPG1AwOSpZxejEbTn_LTdhTgLWRv7WsR1n6KPVv7NcuG4VUIqt23rvZBTiKei0p2JeoFfsSnZZe9VA3AMV0WFOXr2-44Vf_tPnGyuYI/s1600/bb+2.jpg" height="448" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool before lifting out then leave to cool some more ( I made the mistake of cutting it to soon and it crumbled)<br />
<br />
The loaf can be served warm or cold and stays at it best for 1-2 days in a airtight container.<br />
<br />
This went down a storm with Lilly, she loved it! <br />

I think its a great way to write new posts and meet new bloggers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This Sunday is 'top 5 children's books'. I decided to share some of Lilly's current favourite books with you all. Lilly has books that she loves me to read to her at night before bed and others she likes to flick through the pages herself which we keep in her toy box downstairs.</div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-2Is8QPg8nECqFowqn-kXh-YT1yeGFOmFIyacPWrnjqIVfCHQVgKMKHFQYRj0eoyeYFRPpm2980JLxAmx9BPBPXP2Fn1gA2OwxkHt-lLUqfsS2NttzC8JtB2Vom1MJXzg9xNsxovr3zo/s1600/DSC_0171.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-2Is8QPg8nECqFowqn-kXh-YT1yeGFOmFIyacPWrnjqIVfCHQVgKMKHFQYRj0eoyeYFRPpm2980JLxAmx9BPBPXP2Fn1gA2OwxkHt-lLUqfsS2NttzC8JtB2Vom1MJXzg9xNsxovr3zo/s1600/DSC_0171.jpg" height="568" width="640" /></a><br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
'Say hello to the snowy animals' This is Lilly's favourite bed time story, each night i ask her to choose a book and 9 times out of 10 it this one. I bought it in a pack from Costco before Christmas and is a cute little story about a husky meeting other animals. Its also great for teaching new animals.</div>

'Minnie mouse lets have a tea party' For anyone that has a child who loves Minnie mouse this is great. I think it was from m&s and as you read the story it has the little icons in the book and you press them to say different things.</div>

This is Lilly's newest book, i bought it from a little store at a soft play we went to recently and its a new bedtime story. We are teaching Lilly animal's currently and this is also great for showing the different animals.</div>

'waybuloo touch and feel' I used to like the touch and feel books when Lilly was a baby, but i cannot express how obsessed Lilly is with waybuloo and when i saw this short but sweet book i had to buy it her. Each page is a different character from waybullo and it says the same words which they say on the TV programme so Lilly will read along with me.</div>

<br />
Hey everyone! A few months ago i did a <a href="http://lillyandme12.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/whats-in-my-change-bag-youtube.html"><span style="color: #e06666;">whats in my change bag</span></a> post where i showed what i carried when Lilly was a baby, now she is a bit older and closer to a toddler what i carry is different. I loved my pink lining change bag but it was very obviously a change bag and i did always want my handbag back. With baby number two i will definitely be buying a change bag which looks Little bit more like a handbag so if on the rare occasion i go out on my own i don't have to keep switching bags etc.<br />
<br />
Now Lilly is a toddler and i have to carry less i was on the look out for a toddler bag and came across this bag on ebay. They have lots of different animal designs for both boys and girls. We decided to go for the pink mouse but there was also a lady bird and rabbit one that looked super cute. This bag was £7.89 i believe and for a small bag it really holds alot and is easy to carry by the handle or throw over my shoulder and hook onto the pushchair. Lilly doesn't wear this as a backpack as its too heavy.<br />
<br />
What i carry varies from where were going, how long were out for etc but this is usually how it looks so i have the essentials should we decided to go for a meal or we are out for a long time i have all the necessities.<br />
<br />
The bag has a large front pocket which i keep little things in there and usually my phone and keys if i don't have a bag. I also have some snacks that are easy to access quickly, a hair brush and clip because Lilly's hair is a little wild and need to be tamed from time to time. I keep a mini bath wash in there just in case we are at a family/friends house and Lilly gets in a mess or has accident and needs a bath, because she has sensitive skin i can just use anything on her so i keep that just in case (it has happened in the past)<br />
<br />
In the larger pocket im surprised how much i can fit in there, i also usually can put my purse in there. I keep the essentials in her, nappies, wipes, bags, a spare pare of leggings and some mittens in case her hands get cold. I always have a drink in the side pocket and a fruit shoot just in case we run out and Lilly wants a drink. Anyone that does baby led weaning or there little ones throw the plates on the floor will know how annoying it can be in those high chairs that slide under the table, so i came across these disposable place mats that stick to the table.<br />
<br />
For entertainment i always take some crayons and Lilly's Innotab. The Innotab is a little too old for Lilly but there is a colouring game on there she likes to play.<br />

Hows everyone doing with their weight loss this week? I slipped up on the weekend and had a KFC and lots of chocolate... oops!!<br />
<br />
I have been thinking about re-joining weight watchers for a while but i wanted to see if i could do it with out the point system and just eating healthy for a while, but i find it alot easier to follow a 'system'. As i said in a previous post, last year i lost alot of my baby weight with weight watchers and for me it worked until i gave up.<br />
<br />
Since stopping weight watchers i have stuck to the same weight, probably fluctuating a few pounds up and down but im still stuck at the same weight which is super annoying as its not a weight i like. I have tried various 'diets' since giving birth, weight watchers, slimming world, shakes and juicing.<br />
<br />
Today i want to share my experience with both weight watchers and slimming world and why i prefer weight watchers and why it works for me.<br />
<br />

<br />
I decided to try slimming world a couple of months before Christmas, i see so many success stories on my instagram feed and i have a friend that lost a ton of weight on it. Slimming world works with a 'Syn' system and then you have a list of free foods and super free food which you can eat as much as you like (within reason). Also you have a hex a & b which you can have one of every day like a certain amount of cheese, whole wheat bread etc. When i first signed up for it i thought it was either super complicated and i didn't understand it or it was so easy i thought there had to be more to it. Slimming world is actually very simple, you fill your plate with free-super free foods and can use your syn limit (which i think mine was 15) on treats or save them for the weekend.<br />
<br />
My issue with slimming world was i was actually gaining weight not loosing it. This was so frustrating to me and i didn't know why but i think its because the free foods like, new potatoes, salad chicken, PASTA! are foods i love and because they were 'free' id fill my plate and eat them when i wanted to. Also they say eat when ever your hungry, i ate alot of ham and fat free super noodles (which i think were free 8points on WW) thinking it was fine. This just didn't work for me i found it confusing as to why i could eat as much pasta and potatoes as i liked and still loose weight. after a month of trying and i lost a pound here and there then gained it i gave up.<br />

<br />
Weight watchers until they recently bought out simple start, is done using a pro point system. You have a allowance each day (mines 27) and then a weekly allowance which can be used for those days you go over, or at the weekend for meals out (similar to syns on slimming world) Weight watchers is so simple i have the app and i put in my food after each meal and it takes the points off your daily allowance. I love the point system because its so simple to follow and i find myself making better choices or having smaller portions so i don't go over. I like to plan my meals each week working out the points each day so i don't go over and leave enough so i can have a little snack in the day and i save my weekly points for a little treat at the weekend or a glass of wine ;) I also like weight watchers have their own food and snack in shops, and alot of foods have the PP's on the back so its easy to keep track. Slimming worlds app i found confusing where as weight watchers is really simple and looks good. Both slimming world and Weight watchers have recipes on their websites so its easy to find foods to eat.<br />
<br />
I think to succeed in any diet is finding the rite one that suits you and your lifestyle. Some people love slimming world and WW didn't work for them and vise versa. For me im a Weight watchers lover and im glad to be back on the plan and hopefully getting closer to my goal weight.<br />
<br />

Have you tried weight watchers or slimming world? Which did you prefer?<br />

<br />
The thing i always struggle with when trying to diet, or eat healthy is trying to figure out what to eat. If i cant find a simple healthy recipe on line i quickly turn to junk food or unhealthy quick foods, which is not the best idea. I started to buy some great low calorie cookbooks over the past couple of months and each week before i do my weekly shop i look through my favourite books and plan my meals for the week, not only does this help me stay on track it also helps save money.<br />

Cheesecake from the "weight watchers simply satisfying book"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My favourite book at the moment is the weight watchers simply satisfying cook book. I picked this up in tesco and it has loads of delicious recipes that are great for the whole family. It also has some great desert recipes. If I'm stuck for time i turn to "greedy girls diet" as this has recipes from quick 10min -30+ minuets. The greedy girls diet book is great for healthy fast food options.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The clean and lean diet is really good, i bought this last year and it has some great recipes in it. I use this when I'm being really good and I'm feeling motivated. This book also has a diet plan for you as a guide which is really helpful.</div>

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. Me and my little bug have had a cold/flu type thing all week and i have been wanting to do some valentines crafts with Lilly for a while and thought it was a fun activity to do.<br />
<br />
I went to tesco on Friday and picked up some little inexpensive craft supplies. The paints are washable so i wasn't too worried about getting them everywhere but i still put lilly in some old clothes just in case. For ease i popped Lilly in her highchair.<br />
<br />
Lilly's favourite thing to do is colour, she loves colouring so i thought the same about painting but i was wrong. We tried finger painting to start with and it didn't go down to well, Lilly has a thing about having stuff on her hands, she hates it and seems really ocd about it so when she saw the paint on her hands she went into a crying fit. Me and Lilly's daddy tried to show her what to do and that its OK to have paint on your hands and she started to get into it a bit more but only for a while. My plan was to do some hand prints in paint to make flowers etc but we will try that another day.<br />
<br />
Lilly loved the paint brush and the little sponge roller in the set we picked up from tesco so i rolled some pva glue on her hands to make the glitter hand print heart, she was OK with the glue but kept putting her hand into a fist so we kinda got some hand prints haha!<br />
<br />
Her favourite thing was to use the sponges to print the face on the paper, I'm going to try using the toilet roll into a heart, or cookie cutters with her next time as that seemed to be Lilly's favourite thing to do.<br />
<br />
How did your little ones like finger painting at first?<br />
<br />

Weight loss Wednesday was a great idea started by Jenn over at<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;"> <a href="http://www.barelytherebeauty.com/p/bloggerswlw.html">Barelythebeauty</a> </span>which is a weight loss group for bloggers. Each Wednesday you write a post about your weight loss, motivation,exercise recipes etc and also come together on a thursday at 8pm on twitter for the #bloggerswlw chat.<br />
<br />
After having my first baby i have really struggled to loose the excess weight i piled on. A few weeks after i gave birth i weighed myself to see i had put on 4stone and with my c-section and other health issues after birth i couldn't exercise and carried on eating unhealthy foods because it was quicker and easier for me at the time. Between July-December 2012 the "babyweight" starting to naturally fall off but i was still left with the excess weight i had gained and i decided to join weight watchers in February 2013 and lost 20pounds in 8 weeks. I then fell off the band waggon, stopped exercising, tried various fad diets but i have been stuck at the SAME weight for nearly a year and i just want to feel comfortable about myself again and loose another 16pounds to be at the weight i want to be.<br />
<br />
I have already started making healthy food options and i know the best way for me to loose weight is to exercise and im going to be doing home dvds and outdoor things to help shift this weight which i will be writing posts about.<br />
<br />
Im hoping putting this out there on this blog will help keep me motivated and if anyone else is doing this and has any helpful post please link them below or follow me on twitter <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;">@lillyandme12</span> as i could use the motivation ;)<br />

Hello everyone!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Wow it seems so long since i have been on this blog and looking at my last post to now Lilly has grown and changed so much. I have had a issue with this blog and lost access, then my laptop broke and we moved house etc but now im back and i have so many things i want to blog about .<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now that Lilly is fully in toddler mode im always trying to think of activities to do with her as she needs constant stimulation. Lilly's favorite thing to do is colour, she loves it and will happily sit and colour for ages, she mainly likes to empty her little tin and then walk on them which ends up with lots of little broken crayons everywhere she doesn't want to use. I usually throw all the broken crayons away and i am always buying new ones, but recently i came accross a post on pintrest which gave me a idea of "recycling broken crayons". Its so simple to do and can be made into fun new shapes for your toddler.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>What you will need:</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">* Broken crayons with the wrapper removed</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">* A silicone mold</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">* Oven </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><span style="background-color: white;">Step 1 -Pre-heat the oven to around 150oc</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><span style="background-color: white;">Step 2 - Remove wrapper from crayons</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><span style="background-color: white;">Step 3 - break into smaller pieces if needed and arrange in the mold</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><span style="background-color: white;">Step 4 - Pop in the oven for around 15mins or until melted</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><span style="background-color: white;">Step 5 - Remove from the oven and cool.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
**TIP** If you want your crayons to be a pacific colour in the middle and another on the outside etc, simply use a knife to cut the crayons into tiny pices and arrange.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
And there you have some fun little "new" crayons.<br />
<br />

Hi everyone! Its a bank holiday weekend Yeyy! And what's best is that the weather has actually been nice and warm so lets hope it stays that way. I wanted to share a really quick and easy "recipe" if i could call it that on how to make these tropical ice lollies. They are so easy to make and are great for warmer weather and also for teething babies. Lilly is currently going through the terrible teething stage and is still yet to get a tooth but i know its coming. Teething can be a hard time not only for babies but for us mums too and anything i can do to help i will try. I made these for Lilly a few days ago and at first she wasn't sure on how cold they were but quickly started to gum it and they really seemed to settle her little teething mood. I got this "recipe" out of the Annabel karmel baby and toddler meal plan book and here how to make tropical teething lollies in 3 super easy steps.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;">What you will need:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*1 large mango, peeled stone removed and diced</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*180ml tropical fruit juice</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*3 tablespoons icing sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*1 tablespoon lemon juice</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Lolly moulds</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;">Instructions:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Blend all the ingredients together until smooth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*pour into ice lolly moulds.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Freeze</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And there you go, so easy and simple and helps sore gums. I bought my lolly moulds from Asda and i think they were about £2 and they can be used over and over again with all different types of fruits.</div>
