❤ MORE ABOUT ME ❤
I'm a 33 year-old mum of three, who lives in Cheshire, in the UK, and this is my small part of the online world, where I share my story. And things I enjoy and like too! I have three children, Bill, Daisy and Stanley, and they seem to be growing up so darn fast these days. We have a golden retriever called Merlin, and two cats called Romeo and Elsa and, hang on, this is sounding a bit like a kid's essay at school isn't it? I'm due to get married this year to my other half, Mark, and even though we did everything a bit backwards, I am really happy with how life has turned out. You might find everything from food videos, clothing hauls, home updates, vlogs now and again, and some topics close to my heart, such as coparenting, hearing loss and Stickler Syndrome too. I am a very average mum, but I try my absolute best at whatever I do, and hopefully you enjoy following along!

I really enjoyed this style of video! I would love more of these! They really inspire me to go through all my cupboards and freezer and meal plan for leftovers! X

Hi Charlotte, regarding the polish dumplings, cook them in salted boiling water until they come up on the surface, drain them. In the meantime in a big frying pan stir fry approx 25dkg breadcrumbs on 1 dl oil for 2-3 minutes, require constant stirring otherwise going to burn down, mix in 1 tbsp icing sugar or more- depend on how sweet you want it to be, add the dumplings to the breadcrumbs and carefully turn them in until they are fully covered. Serve with sprinkled icing sugar and a bit of crème fraiche. That’s how we eat it in Hungary x

I really love this video! I know “shop your pantry” is so important and a great way to save money, I’ve also ended up with excessive amounts of tinned tomato before so you’re not alone there.

[@alexandracrowdle6834]

This is a great video. I think a dish that would work well for you with the prawn pasta is a Gino D’Campo recipe that is a chilli cherry tomato spaghetti. I’m not a fan of prawns either so those who want prawns can just add at the end. It is also so quick and easy to make and only a few ingredients. Then as far as the chilli goes you can obviously do however much you want.

Love videos like this.. love a nosey in people's cupboards etc

[@saffielunaamadi2623]

[@thelifeofmrsp8508]

Love this gives me some inspiration to do other meals

[@naomipaterson9300]

Loved this! Got a load of much needed inspo for this month! Also, that bread makes amazing croutons if you ever have any left over that needs using up ❤

[@paulakoflynn3368]

Hi Charlotte, welcome back and happy New Year. Glad to hear you enjoyed your Christmas and the break. I hope your hosting of Christmas dinner went well 😊 I enjoyed this vlog checking what you had and what you needed to set out your meal plan, you have very adventurous kids meal-wise 👍 Your nails 💅 are gorgeous. See you on the next one.

[@chloeatherton9032]

Now as someone who can hardly cook any of what you planned. I found it great so thank you.

[@sarahsealey4332]

I loved this video! Another please. I don’t know what it is about food hauls or weekly food shops etc that is so comforting! ❤

[@BakingScienceTraveller]

I really liked this style of video, too! I pretty much do the same every week and it's nice to see the way, other people do it. Greetings from Germany, Becky

[@ruthsaliba4565]

Great vlog!x

[@sophieoates1016]

Happy New Year Charlotte - great video & definitely inspired me to do the same - I do things very similar to you & enjoy many of the same foods as you too - a right foodie my hubby says - but he does get to enjoy nice home cooked meals every night 😊. Sadly I have 3 freezers so I often create my menus after delving deep in them! Love batch cooking so I seem to empty stuff out & fill it again with Tupperware filled meals. Anyway thank you for your fab ideas - got my notebook out already 😊xx

[@jadelogan9303]

Happy new year Charlotte, I really enjoyed your video, its given me some inspiration to try cooking some meals out of my recipe books that I have xx

[@lindachapman9765]

Happy New Year Charlotte, this was incredably helpfull full of wonderfull ideas, not just about how you meal plan but just checking what you have as well, thankyou for such great ideas xx

[@xMichelex]

Just starting to watch this video, and have to say, Charlotte, you remind me of Kate the princess of Wales so much. It's something to do with the brows, hair, and eye makeup. Perhaps a makeup tutorial is in our future! Happy New Year to you all. Love your videos.

[@EmmaChamp]

Happy New Year, Charlotte! Your hair is just beautiful!

[@joannabartolome8566]

I really enjoyed this style of vlog 😁😍. It's a great point to start looking into your stock and use it up, it saves money and space in kitchen, I need to start doing it again. Polish dumplings, you need to boil the water with salt and then drop one at a time to prevent from sticking plus when you drop 5 or 6 depends on your pot use the silicon spatula to stir it so it won't stil to the bottom, wait till it come to top and boil for 3 mins and take it out, you can eat it like that or fry it using butter. Love to make fried dumplings with fried finely chopped onion and lukewarm milk to drink 😍🤩. Hope you'll enjoy dumplings. More videos like that and especially these with tidying up as it's give motivation too 🤩😘

[@minimalist_romantic]

Hey Charlotte! Polish dumplings need to be dropped into boiling salted water one at the time so they don’t stick together. Once they come to surface cook for amount of time they say on the packet. You can fry them after they are cooked but I only do that with leftovers- when just cooked you could also just serve them with fried up bacon cubes or fried onions and a little bit of butter Xxx

[@rebeccafairweather8611]

Loved this video, thanks Charlotte!

[@katiedunk463]

Happy new year. Love this video I've been doing the same with odds and ends it almost feels cleansing. Dumplings can be fried on one side but then add in a splash of water and a lid to your pan to steam for the rest of the cooking time xx

[@Kty4419]

This was such a good video!❤thankyou!❤🥰🤗😘

[@laura4480]

I’m not that confident in the kitchen but I would like to get better and was looking at the good food subscription? Now I know they are worth it I might consider buying them on the regular.

[@mhairiabbas]

LOVE your food videos ❤

[@lizziegoss3606]

That lamb madras meatball one pan wonder is the best recipe in that book! We have it regularly now, defo check it out xx

Random but i love ❤️ your writing ✍️ 💕

What we call the doldrums of winter in January & February are really a great time to regroup from the holidays and bear down on the needs for the remainder of the school year or spring holidays to be set-up well for school breaks and summertime. We don't even worry about living up to our resolutions beyond those two months, because it is so helpful to be really focused on them for the dead of winter and you gain so much, even from the ones you do not continue into the new blooms of springtime. You are a good meal-planner and I get ideas from you often. Thanks. It's hard to tell on camera, but your nail polish looks like a real scarlet. Scarlet is a red that's just a touch toward the orange spectrum and rarely do you see it done really well. I like it! You do a good job of balancing a variety of meals and food types while taking into account the preferences of those eating.

[@jpckmt]

Love your kitchen, what brand is it please? We are looking to get new kitchen! Thank you 😊

[@xTishxBaybeex]

Are you still running? I came from your couch to 5k video and was wondering if you kept up with it
