We are 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 this one… Isla’s gone on her first residential with school and she’s not home until Weds evening. It’s very quiet without her in the house.⁣
⁣
Amazing how much 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 she brings to the place and you can really feel it missing when she’s not here.⁣
⁣
I know she’s having a fab time, they’ve 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘥, 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘦𝘥, 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘴 (under supervision of course).⁣
⁣
I can’t wait to hear all about their 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 when our little lady returns home.⁣
⁣
Have your kiddies been on a school residential yet?⁣

“𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗰𝘂𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴” 𝘉𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘦𝘺 𝘚𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘴. ⁣
⁣
I love this quote. And it’s something I’ve been thinking about over the last couple of months. I 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 a bit of 𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 back in my life.⁣
⁣
I’ve been putting off things and felt too depleted to even consider exercise recently. But I know in order to fix myself, 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 and 𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆, I need to get back on track and take no shortcuts.⁣
⁣
I want to 𝗵𝗶𝗸𝗲 in breathtaking landscapes, do fun 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 and I want to pick up 𝗿𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 again. I’ll have lots of happy memories of my pups whilst I’m doing them, which will be my motivation.⁣
⁣
I’m going to start by trying to go for a 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸 at least once a day. For the past few weeks I’ve barely done 2000 steps in a day & I know I need to get back out there.⁣
⁣
𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗻𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗰𝘂𝘁𝘀… 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗲⁣

🪺 I love Spring, the pretty pops of colour and the chocolate overload… followed by beautiful countryside walks. 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲 have a beautiful collection of Easter & Spring goodies this year and we got to try the 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 & 𝗛𝗮𝘇𝗲𝗹𝗻𝘂𝘁 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝗸𝗲. ⁣
⁣
Made with layers of chocolate sponge and velvety chocolate hazelnut cream, it was absolutely 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴. We loved the little nests on top of the cake too and the hazelnuts around the side gave it a nice crunch. 𝗬𝘂𝗺𝗺𝘆!⁣
⁣
It is the perfect indulgent Spring cake if you are celebrating this season. They also have mini cake boxes, a Crème Brûlée cake and a baked lemon & blueberry cake too. Lots of choices depending on what kind of occasion it is.⁣
⁣
You can get any of these delivered straight to your door, check them out. I’d love to know what you think in the comments below. ⁣

A bit late to the party, but happy 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 to all the wonderful Mums I know. Mums of humans & Mums of furbabies…⁣
⁣
𝗙𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 is so important. It gets you through the tough times, brings the happy times and makes you feel safe.⁣
⁣
We are all still struggling after losing both of our furbabies… but 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘴 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭 & we’re doing it 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿.⁣
⁣
This photo makes me smile. The last time we went to the beach together, to give Snoopy some sea air through his ears.⁣
⁣
𝗠𝘆 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆. My memories. I am so 𝘭𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘺 to have this lot & have my sacred memories of the furbabies.⁣

We had to say a very heavy hearted goodbye to our boy, 𝗦𝗻𝗼𝗼𝗽𝘆, on Friday. Less than 90 days since we said goodbye to his brother, 𝗥𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗼. We are all completely heartbroken.⁣ 💔
⁣
Snoopy was the 𝘤𝘶𝘥𝘥𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘴𝘵 dog I’ve ever known. Always up for a snuggle. As soon you as you sat on the sofa, he’d be there tucked up in your legs or by your chest. We’re going to miss his 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘧𝘺𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 too, he made us laugh so much over his 13 years and 9 months. ⁣🐾
⁣
He has been the most unluckiest 𝗖𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗹; he suffered with ear infections from age 1. Had surgery on his ears which reduced his hearing. Then he went blind. Then he got diabetes, a liver tumour & an illness called EPI. He got through all of these things with a wag in his tail as he had us. ⁣
⁣
This time it seems so much harder as we have now have no dogs. 𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘚𝘯𝘰𝘰𝘱𝘺 𝘩𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘶𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘙𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘰. The house is so quiet. It feels so wrong and we all feel lost.⁣
⁣
I hope Rambie was waiting for you and your running on 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀, through 𝘄𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 & chasing 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 all day everyday.⁣
⁣
We’ve lost both of our best friends & I’m not sure how we’re going to get through this… they’ve left such a big hole! ⁣
⁣
𝗪𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗦𝗻𝗼𝗼𝗽𝘀. ⁣❤️

Quorn®️ challenged me to make a quick, delicious & meat free meal. 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘀 are perfect for lunchtimes whilst working from home. They are also perfect for family lunchtimes on a Saturday as we have little time after clubs.⁣
⁣
I used some 𝗤𝘂𝗼𝗿𝗻 𝗖𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗽𝘆 𝗡𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀 to make a quick and tasty meal (since recording this I now use the 𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘧𝘳𝘺𝘦𝘳 which is even quicker than the conventional oven).⁣
⁣
Being vegetarian is definitely made easier with Quorn products. They are tasty, usually quick to cook & versatile. Isla & Noah love these nuggets too, they prefer them to meat. A family bag of Crispy Nuggets lasts a long time, so they are 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲.⁣
⁣
My lunch is a Quorn Crispy Nugget roll. So easy… so tasty & perfect for a quick family meal too.⁣
⁣
Quorn have an 𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘧𝘳𝘺𝘦𝘳 𝘨𝘶𝘪𝘥𝘦 on their website now: Quorn Crispy Nuggets take 𝟭𝟬 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀 to cook 🙏🏻 I will put the link to the guide in my stories. ⁣
⁣
What do you cook for a quick lunchtime treat? ⁣

It’s 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 coming up and I love any excuse to celebrate the special ladies in my life. Gift boxes are my new favourite type of gift too, the items look sweet in their nests. ⁣
⁣
@sandandsparklesgifts sent me this lovely 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘅 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗨𝗻𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗯𝗼𝘅 (as an early Mother’s Day treat). I love it & I’m sure any Mum would. It has certainly done the trick too: the beach theme took me back to our holiday last Summer, in Devon. Being together. It made me smile as that was the 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 we had with our pups. Swipe left to see my favourite photo from that holiday. ⁣
⁣
Not only did it bring back wonderful memories that made me smile, the items in the gift box are all sustainable: eco-friendly and plastic free: 𝘴𝘰 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘴!⁣ The tea is going to be a part of my new bedtime routine too.
⁣
If you’re looking at getting a 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 for a 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘔𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘢 these are a great gift idea. ⁣

What do you do to celebrate Mother’s Day? ⁣

Happy International Women’s Day… I’m lucky enough to have grown up with independent & strong women all around me. It’s where I get my resilience & determination from.

It’s something that I want to ensure Isla has too: to be resilient is to have patience and strength. To keep a smile, even if deep down it’s painful. Determination is to have focus and passion. To keep going even if the end is not quite in sight.

I can see a lot of this in her already… she is far more confident than I ever was at 10 and she knows her own mind. Which I love.

Now I need to make sure she has self confidence, self awareness and self love. So she can endure all that life throws at her and she can listen to her body & mind to guide her.

I love that I’m still learning things about myself on this motherhood journey: some of those things I’m learning from Isla.

I’m very proud of my baby girl 🥰

Did you know it’s 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗶𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸? 🥧 ⁣
⁣
I love pie… sweet & savoury. Gravy & custard. Yummy. Yummy. Yummy.⁣
⁣
This is 𝗝𝗼𝗲’𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗣𝗶𝗲 from the Joe Wicks Lean in 15, the shift plan (𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘶𝘴). I’ve put a twist on it as I’ve used 𝗤𝘂𝗼𝗿𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗣𝗶𝗲𝗰𝗲𝘀 instead.⁣
⁣
I love this recipe as it’s so easy and creates a delicious pie… 𝗤𝘂𝗼𝗿𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗲𝗿 too as there’s no prep needed. Just pop in the pieces and off you go.⁣ We love @quorn_uk.
⁣
I’ve posted some photos on my stories and a link to the recipe on the 𝘎𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘵𝘰𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 website if you want to try it. ⁣

What’s your favourite kind of pie? 🥧⁣

Get cleaning the air fryer with me… 🧼 A slightly different post from me tonight: a handy little tip for cleaning your air fryer.⁣
⁣
There’s something about a cleaning tip that makes cleaning that bit 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳. We use the air fryer everyday, we love it. Keeping it clean is important.⁣
⁣
So: ⁣
⁣
▪️ add 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗿𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗱 to the trays⁣
▪️ add water to 𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 the plates inside the tray⁣
▪️ air fry for 𝟯 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘀⁣
⁣
If you’ve only been cooking vegetables and things like that then this is 𝘴𝘶𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵 to clean the trays. Simply rinse and dry. ⁣
⁣
If you’ve cooked meats or food that sticks to the trays, like cheese, then give it a good wash afterwards. The air frying will have helped to release those foods!⁣
⁣
𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗲𝘁?⁣

The Constants do Legoland Windsor

The other weekend we took a family trip with our under 3's to Legoland at Windsor and I have to say that despite being with the 2 little ones we had a great time. Noah was able to go on many things and there was quite a lot to do for Isla too. VIEW the POST
