As a lot of you know, I became a Nanna for the first time last year with the birth of my Grandson Brock Hunter Day on 3rd July, a gorgeous big boy, healthy as and 100% perfect in everyway.
(See post http://maggiedavid.com/i-am-a-nanna/)
What you don’t know is that I look after Brock 3-4 days per week whilst his parents go to work (Yes I run an online business, trade the stock market and look after a baby plus help my sister look after our aged parents both well, well into their 80s – PHEW!)
The last 7 months have gone so fast but they have been gob-smacking! Seeing the world through a baby’s eyes is magical, everything to them is exciting and if you let yourself go you can gather that excitement. Just spending time around them is awe inspiring.
One thing that baby’s love and Brock adores is getting a massage! He has had a massage everyday from birth and gets one from Nanna every time I mind him. The benefits of massage are well known, not only for babies but for all of us especially if we are stressed.

Today I would like to discuss a little about Diabetes.
My husband was diagnosed with diabetes some time ago and felt that he was hit from above with a ton of bricks. His diabetes is controlled through diet and exercise, so he is very lucky.
When we went back into his family history, we found that diabetes was on his families side plus I knew it was already on my families side, so we made sure our grown up children were very aware of what is was and to have their blood sugar levels checked by the Doctors on a regular basis, plus also to stick to a very healthy diet and exercise regime which interesting enough our family has always done.

Well is it?
I have had so many discussions with people on this issue, some say, well, it depends on who’s cooking and others say “Home Cooked – I haven’t the time”.
I believe that home cooked, home baked meals, cakes, breads, pastries and cookies are the very best.
You control what goes into what you cook and bake and it is done without all the preservatives, chemical flavours and additives and much less sugar and salt.
My Dad who is 87 years of age makes a joke saying, with all the preservatives and junk that goes into store bought junk foods when everyone dies they will be dug up in times yet to come fully preserved! Well I wouldn’t go that far, however, it does make you stop and think.
