What a long old week! The first week back is always hectic and through lesson observations, World Book Day and a classroom to set up after being away all holiday it was seriously manic with very long days. I’ve been so busy that its Friday night and I’m only just getting round to writing this post.… Continue reading Pooh, Pancakes and a Pug #LittleLoves
I am a chocoholic. There are no two ways about it. I just love chocolate. I’m eating an Easter egg as I write (what is it about chocolate in egg form that just makes it taste even better!?!). But I’m about to give up chocolate for a WHOLE MONTH for the British Heart Foundation’s DECHOX…
Ahhhh half term. I needed it so much. We’ve been away in Scotland and while the holiday didn’t go totally to plan we’ve still had a lovely time. We’ve been staying in Aviemore in the Cairgorms with the intention to ski, but there just wasn’t enough snow. We found lots of lovely walks to do instead… Continue reading My Birthday, No Snow and Winter Walks
We never moved when I was a child, well actually we moved just before my sister was born, but I was 18 months old at the time so needless to say I don’t remember any of it! Living away at uni was the first experience I had of living anywhere else. After a year of… Continue reading House Hunting
Last weekend we had an open morning of viewings at our house so we escaped to Manchester to see my family (and appreciate their heading and hot water since our boiler broke last week!). We went out for dinner at Turtle Bay before heading to the Palace Theatre for the ballet. We stayed over at… Continue reading Swan Lake, Back to Work and Gilmore Girls #LittleLoves
Last weekend was the relaxing one we needed so badly! We drove round to look at some houses for sale on Saturday before a spot of lunch and some shopping. There are lots of birthdays coming up this month (including mine!) so it was nice to get organised and buy some presents. Sunday was spent… Continue reading Slapped Cheek, Banana Bread and Heart-Shaped Elbow Patches #LittleLoves
This is one of my all time favourite recipes and my go to any time we have overripe bananas in the house (oh dear did I forget to eat the bananas, oh well I guess I should make some banana bread..). It’s my wonderful Grandma‘s recipe and since she taught me to bake in ounces,… Continue reading Grandma’s Banana Bread
So I still haven’t fully found my Slimming World groove yet since our wedding (nearly six months ago, eek!) but I’m feeling particularly motivated this week so I thought I would share the meals I have planned for this week. To be honest, our meals are usually pretty healthy, its just my complete inability to turn… Continue reading Slimming World Meal Plan – 6th Feb
I’m hoping this is the last time I’ll say this for a while, but last weekend was yet another weekend of jobs around the house! Then evenings this week were also taken up with some last minute cleaning before the house was photographed yesterday to go on the market today. You can read more on… Continue reading Vinegar Girl, Daffodils and Feeling Grateful #LittleLoves
One of my New Year’s Resolutions was to be grateful every day. To find something in every day that made me happy, no matter how small, or how bad the rest of the day was. I have managed to keep with this resolution so far, and have kept a diary of these little things to look… Continue reading Things I Was Grateful For in January
