Hi folks ✨
Yesterday we had a much needed lazy day. I began my day with having a lovely loooong bubble bath. After my bath I decided it was time to sort through all of Baby T’s toiletries as he literally has so many 💙
Since me & the hubster are monopolizing the bathroom cupboards, I decided it was sensible to get our bathroom shelves out of the loft that we had used while living in our apartment. I do love cleaning & organising. I mean… He’s going to be arriving next month!!! Eeeeeck!!! 💙
Since I’m still not sleeping & Saturday night was particular bad – the most strenuous thing I did yesterday was to paint my nails. I went with CND Vinylux in Hollywood. I love a classic red nail. It’s timeless & it always goes with everything.
The pram made an appearance yesterday too when we decided that we needed to play with it so we could confidentally collapse it etc… I seriously do love this travel system. We’ve bought the isofix for the car too which is going to make life so much easier. That way we don’t have to mess around with seat belts etc… I can’t wait to get his little car window sun shade & a little steering wheel… lol… I’m so sad I know.
We literally did not do much yesterday at all… sometimes you just need a day like that. Especially when you’re feeling under the weather. One thing you all need in your kitchen, especially for ‘can’t be bothered days’… you need a Crock Pot or slow cooker. I was planning on making a full on yummy chicken casserole with loads of veg & roast potatoes… but since I wasn’t feeling tip top, I literally just served up the casserole with some crusty bread. I prepped the casserole that morning – so easy!
- Frozen Skinless & Boneless Chicken Thighs
- Frozen Whole Green Beans
- Frozen Diced Onions
- Frozen Sliced Peppers
- 1 Tin Chopped Tomatoes
- 1 Tsp Dried Thyme
- 1 Tsp Tarragon
Cook on low all day. It was so yummy & minimal effort required! ✨
While we ate casserole & crusty bread, Coco snaffled her latest treat from Top Collar, don’t forget that by following the link & entering code: COCO you will receive a completely free bag of treats!
Today I’ve been doing more meal prep. I ended up with loads of fresh carrots & was worried they were going to go off before I got around to using them all! So I peeled, chopped, blanched, dipped in ice cold water & bagged up to freeze. It’s such a good idea as you can freeze in the required portion size. Saves loads of time in the long run as you can boil or steam straight from frozen. It’s brilliant for when you see those veggie bargains but then end up with more than you know what to do with.
Tonight we’re having fajita’s for tea & the hubster is on chef duty… so another easy kitchen day for me… yey! ✨
So… that’s all I’ve been up too… not much lol. Tomorrow is a day of hospital appointments & scans… eeeeck! I love seeing my little poppet 💙 I’m sure we’ll be able to sneak in a little lunch date tomorrow too! We’re also hoping we may have time for a super quick trip to Barnsley to collect my new glasses. But that all depends on my hospital appointments running on time.
Well, I’m going to leave this post right here.
Thanks so much for reading ✨
Love & Huggles,
