Baby is still waking every couple of hours to feed and then you have the normal other reasons that kids get up for to deal with for the other two. I am really trying to get back to the gym but I just don't know if I…

Sabotaged by new au pair
Hi Guys, I have a lovely au pair moved in with us almost 2 months ago. She is from the chech republic and finds our primal diet at home very difficult to adjust to.

Children on Paleo/Primal

One thing the last few weeks has shown me is how lazy I have become in the kitchen. I would reach for pasta 2 or 3 times a week for the kids…

First sprained my thumb so couldn't lift anything, uber frustrating as I was on my final week of stage 1 before AMRAP. So a week of enforced rest but I thought I would count it as my…
