Another week has flown by so fast, somehow I have made it to Wednesday. For those who are not up to date my 4 year old granddaughter is staying. I have only managed the odd Facebook post so far this week, and trying to write this before she gets up. I may get it posted by Friday haha. So here is my weekly diary of a menopausal mum round up post.

Driving Lessons
C had her very first driving lesson on Monday. It was a 2 hour lesson and felt very strange for us, with her being out driving. When she came home, we asked how it was and she said her instructor kept grabbing the steering wheel. We asked how it felt to be in control of the car and she laughed and said terrifying but, looking forward to next week.
New Car
Somehow, this happened yesterday, C picked up her new car, and she loves it. She paid for the car herself, all other expenses including petrol, we are paying. She went out with her Dad for a driving lesson yesterday and they both came home smiling, and going back out again today.
Homemade Butter
As you know we have my granddaughter staying, and she loves cooking with Nanny. We made homemade butter which she loved, especially the bit getting her hands in there. She even has some to take home for Mummy to try.
Mediterranean Diet
I shared last week, that C has started doing the Mediterranean diet. We were chatting the other day, and I asked if it was helping her symptoms. She said it is, and you can see it in her. I am loving coming up with meal ideas with her, shopping etc.
If anyone is interested, I will write a post up about the diet, why she is doing it, and how it is helping. Along with some easy recipe ideas.
What I Am Loving
Having been making Kombucha for a while, which became popular with friends and family Sarah and Emmet Condon started Remedy. Remedy is made the old school way in small batches, and long aged brewing for 30 days.
The results bring the tastiest and healthiest kombucha going. It contains no sugar, and is full of all the right stuff
- Live Cultures
- Organic Acids
- Antioxidants
Remedies Newbie Taster Mixed Case is a great way to try Remedies and find the perfect flavour for you, from
- Kombucha Peach
- Cherry Plum
- Ginger Lemon
- Raspberry Lemonade
- Coconut Water
- Switchel Blood Orange
Hope you all had a great week
Id love to see some recipes that would be great, good luck with C’s driving lessons.
I will share next week, when hopefully things are a little quieter
Well done on the homemade butter it looks fantastic
It is quite nice, and so easy to make and great fun for the kids to do
Your granddaughter is gorgeous, what a smile! It’s nice to see C driving too.
She is but I am biased, although it was sulking and tantrums last night
This week has really flown ! Been ages since we’ve made home made butter – will give it a try
I have never made it before, but we had fun making it and testing it
Aww! How lovely to have your granddaughter staying with you and well done to C with her first driving lesson and her new car looks fab! I am glad her new diet is helping and I love the sound of those drinks. x
Love having her stay, although last night I was losing the will as she got in a right old temper, all smiles and cuddles again now. I still havent been in the car yet.
I’m pleased to hear that the Mediterranean diet is helping
It is amazing and she is loving it as well
Wow1 That is a lovely first car. I bet C feels even more grown up now she’s driving. I can’t wait to hear more about the Mediterranean diet as my husband is Turkish but we don’t seem to cook much of his cuisine,
It is a lovely car, I have not been in it yet, as her Dad drove it back and is going out with her driving it. I refuse as we wil fall out haha. It is early days and still a lot to introduce her too, but she is feeling the benefits of it. Maybe next week I will write a post about it and meal ideas, as no chance with my granddaughter here
Looks like you’ve had a good few days x
We have and she has just had me rolled up laughing, she is just like C at that age and so refreshing with her honesty
Fab making butter!
We had lots of fun making it
