Friday’s rolled around awfully quickly, this week! I’m not complaining though. Especially not since next week features the best Tuesday in the year (Pancake Day, what else?!). I’m heading to the supermarket today to pick up a giant tub of Nutella to honour the occasion in the best way I know how ;) This weekend we’re going to go and start looking at suits for Jason and his best men to wear at the wedding, and I’d also like to make use of the bubble bar thingies I bought from Lush a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully we might even manage a lie-in, which would be a real treat considering for one reason or another, we’ve had alarms set for anywhere between 7 and 8.30 every morning for the past couple of weekends! If we manage to get in a breakfast in bed too, all the better. So, here’s to the weekend! And here’s what’s made this week a lovely one…
1. A new pair of Reebok slip on trainers, that’re honestly and truly the comfiest things I’ve ever had on my feet. Details to follow in a post at the end of Feb- sit tight! ;)
2. Watching the Great British Bake Off whilst eating fresh-from-the-oven chocolate and caramel cookies. It was a match made in heaven. {p.s. recipe HERE, minus the Nutella and plus a square of Lindt caramel brownie chocolate in each!}
3. The new little succulents on our bedside tables! They brighten the room up so nicely.
4. Drinking fresh black coffee in the mornings. Partly because it tastes good, partly (mainly) because it’s quicker than waiting for milk to heat up on the stove…
5. Dried sour mango! TOTALLY amazing. Though it’ll give you a major stomach ache if you eat too much in one go. I learned that the hard way…
6. The ‘Wild Honeysuckle’ candle I’ve just started burning. Smells divine, whether it’s lit or not!
7. Erato’s ‘Pictures of Pets’ album. They’ve been a favourite of mine for a long time, so discovering this album’s been a total week-maker.
8. Wedding planning productivity! We’ve had a major spell of organisation this week, and it’s been great! Flowers are now well underway (our florist- and good friend- Michelle is on the case, and we’re so excited to see what she comes up with!), we’ve found and booked cars, settled on dresses for the little bridesmaids…we’re getting there!
9. Spending a happy Sunday last weekend with my three favourite ladies in Richmond. There was cake, and a visit to Whole Foods, and coffee, and a whole lot of chatter!
10. Coming home from evening Body Balance classes on a Monday evening to mashed potatoes cooked by Jason. Sometimes I have visions of mashed potato swim into my mind when I’m in the middle of a sequence during class. True story…
Three posts I’ve loved reading this week :: Sara’s list of things she’s un-learnt since becoming a mother || Sophie’s advice on how to be a happier creative || & these darling heart-topped flats on Garance Doré!
What’s made you happy this week? :)
