Finally, after 9 months of sickness due to Hyperemisis Gravidarum, Multiple hospital admissions and 3 days of hard labour… The Husband, Toddler “Blip” and I proudly present, Baby “Flipper”.
He arrived on 12 August 2017 weighing 6.9lb… Which was huge compared to Brother “Blip” who was only 5lb when born.
I was induced at 40 weeks due to all the complications and the risk of having a stillborn being too great with my history of miscarriages. I had hoped that by waiting to full term I would naturally go into labour, but that did not happen. Hence, my dream of having a waterbirth never happened. However, the most important thing is that I had a healthy baby boy.
I was induced on the 10 August 2017 and Baby “Flipper” arrived to this world on the 12 August 2017.
Baby “Flipper” was born at 11:20 with the umbilical cord was around his neck and when he finally came out he didn’t breathe, and they rushed him off to the neonatal unit. It was the scariest thing ever. Luckily, a few hours later I was reunited with my perfect little baby boy, who I adore.
When finally, Toddler “Blip” saw his brother, he turned around to me and said, this is my baby…. You make another for you and daddy… my response. NO WAY JOSE!!.. 😊 but I do love that Toddler “Blip” is so sweet and loving towards his little brother.
Sorry, for the long wait for a blog from me, but as you can imagine, I have been rather busy these 3 weeks with a new baby and a toddler. Hopefully, soon I will be posting my recipes again.

I'm a single mum with two adorable kids, Flipper and Blipson, they will be known as here.
Until January 2019 I was working, but we found it wasn't compatible with my partners work pattern and the many hours he worked. Hence, I gave up my job and focused on the boys.
Then, me and my ex-partner decided to split up at the end of 2019 and it has been a rollercoaster ever since, to get to terms with being a single mum. Managing a life just with them, moving house and starting on a fresh. Luckily, we still have a good relationship and happily spend time together with our kids. Which I believe is so important for them.
It's hard having given up a job and then suddenly finding yourself on your own, however, it is for the best. I hope at one point in time to start working again. But until Flipper start school, (he is 3 but we are deferring him a year due to his hearing impairment), I'll probably stay at home as a stay at home mum.
The good thing is, I have always been good at budgeting and stretching my money. Being a foodie doesnt always go hand in hand with being on a budget, however, it does make you creative. Because of this, we eat quality meals but on a budget.
And this is what I would like to share with you guys.
I have long been considering if I should start from scratch with a totally new blog or just continue on this one. I have decided to continue on this blog, as the past will always be a part of who I am.
Love
Metti, Blipson and Flipper
