This day I love.......

The girls were fast asleep and not impressed with my 5am wake up call.  However we had a train to catch to London for a rather fun event!


We had been invited by Actimel kids to have breakfast with them and to start the day right with Yoga.


The girls loved the breakfast and tucked into all the different fruit and also got to try some Actimel for kids.


Their favourite flavours are Raspberry and Apricot.  They soon realised that the bottles glow in the dark and with three good characters, Ac, Ti and Mel and three alien characters they were soon choosing their favourites.


After breakfast it was time for Yoga, something neither girl had done yoga before.  First we had to focus on our breathing


Before we took part in the exercises.  I was so proud of my eldest when she volunteered to go up to the front to take part!


I have never seen the girls so still and quiet before, my eldest in particular I think really enjoyed Yoga.



After Yoga the girls learnt all about the importance of a well balanced diet and about nutrition.  They listened and took it in before they were given the chance to make their own smoothies.  The girls love making smoothies at home and got to try smoothies using Actimel.


After the event we made our way back to the train station and had various options for lunch, I wanted to eat at Leon as it is my treat when we go to London and I was surprised when the girls wanted to eat here too.  Seemingly they were listening to the nutrition talk.


It was finally time to catch our train home and what an exciting day it had been


This day I love Actimel Back to school

One of the great sides of blogging is blogging events.  They are a great way to meet new bloggers and brands.  The lovely team at Joe Bloggers had organised a introjuicing bloggers event.  The event gave us the opportunity to try juice, learn about nutrition, play with juicers and do some Yoga.  You can read more about the day here.

I arrived at the event and could not believe the amount of fruit and vegetables in front of me.  They were all so pretty under the sun streaming through the windows.

We were split into groups and first I got to try out Rocket Yoga.

It would appear that you can take a group of bloggers to yoga, yet they will all assume the same position.  I must admit to having my phone by the side of my mat too.  Whilst doing Yoga I noticed how pretty the lights were and had to take a photo.

Next we got the chance to play with the juicers.  They were so much fun and it was great putting different flavours together just to try.  I love Lime so made a few sour tasting juices but loved each of them.  It was great to hear from a nutritional view point too, and was given several recipes to try at home.  

I don't think I have ever drunk so much juice before and I certainly had my monthly allowance of fruit and veg.  If you would like to check out some photos of the day have a look on instagram with the hashtag #Currysintrojuicing

Thank you to Currys and to Joe bloggers for a great day.

Before having my girls I could not stand eating eggs. Eggs in any form made me feel ill, poached, scrambled or fried I just could not eat them. I couldn't even stand the smell of them cooking. The only way I could stand eggs is if they were in cake or in meringues.


Although I'm not sure there is much egg white nutrition in meringues, they still taste lovely.

When I was pregnant with my youngest I craved fried eggs, and the smell of fried eggs. Yes very random for someone who could never even stomach them before. Since then I love eggs, in most formats. The girls love a dippy egg and soldiers, that's one of their favourites. At the moment I really love poached eggs. A favourite when I can is a poached egg and bacon on toast.


Since my taste buds have started liking eggs again there are certain things I look for, they have to be British lion eggs. The British lion eggs to me symbolise good quality eggs and good care over the hens that laid them. I also prefer to get my eggs from the local butcher. They not only have the British lion egg symbol on but they have the best orange yolk I've ever seen, perfect for dipping.

Do you have any favourites with eggs? Poached?scrambled?fried? Do let me know below.

I have not received any monetary payment for this post.  I was sent a Go Cook egg poacher in exchange for this post.  Words are my own opinions.
