My Week #6

Hey Guys!!

 

I haven't done a My Week post for a while because with work and stuff, I haven't really done a lot. My weeks have been mostly filled with housework, this week though even though I have been here, there and everywhere I actually managed to take pictures :) So here they are :)

 

 

1. I was getting washing done and went into the bedroom, wondering where Poppy was until I seen this little face poking out at me from under the duvet :)

 

2. I was at my Mums and we were looking through old photos when I came across this one of me, my Godmother and her sister, in the summer of '91, I was about 7 months old, I think.

 

3. Poppy has taken to sleeping under the duvet this week for some reason. This particular morning though she had worked out that she could crawl into the duvet cover, where you do it up at the bottom, if she hadn't have moved I wouldn't have known she was in there haha

 

4. Again I had popped into my Mums after work and I think it was a bit of a family gathering, as my Nan, Grandad, Uncle and cousin was there. Ieuan absolutely loves it when Olly licks him all the time, so just sat there having a whale of time letting him lick his hand, though prior to this picture he was licking his face.

 

5. This evening Llewellyn was off work so I decided to make us a lovely cottage pie from scratch, along with carrots and peas, and of course gravy :) It was absolutely gorgeous and really want to start making more meals from scratch :)

 

Hopefully this week isn't going to be as busy or manic, and I can actually get some workouts in, as I slacked this week :(

 

How has your week been?

Did you do anything exciting?

 

See You Soon!!



What A Week!!!

Hey Guys!!

 

Well what a week that was!! It was our first week back in work after half term and it has been manic to say the least!! We have had a few new children in the playgroup and now need to grow eyes in the back of our heads haha Any way enough about work!!

 

I have come to the decision this week that I will not be daily vlogging anymore as with the job I currently have and the way it has been going, it does not work at the moment. I will start vlogging again when it is possible to do so but at the moment it just doesn't work. I will be keeping up my weekly channel though and will be doing a vlog now and again on there :) Just, what with blogging and everything that's going on I haven't got time to do it :(

 

Tonight though my plan is to have a nice relaxing bath, a lovely hot shepherds pie for tea and lots of cuddles and a film with the husband :) Can't beat that any day :)

 

Hope you're all having a good week!!

 

See You Soon!!

March Mini Goals

Hey Guys!!

 

This month hasn't been a very good month for me as I have been ill a lot and my moods have not been the best, shall we say, I apologise to my poor husband as he normally gets the brunt of it :(

 

Due to that my blog, vlogging and weekly videos have been sparse and I actually haven't filmed or blogged for the past week as I decided to take a break.

 

March is going to be different because the result I got from this little break is that I have been able to clear my head of everything negative and have started thinking positively :) I now want to keep this going and make sure I don't fall into that trap again :)

 

So I am setting myself some goals for the month that will help keep me on track, I actually got the inspiration for this from the blog Being Little :) You can see her mini goals here :)

 

So these are my goals :)

 

Exercise 3 times a week - I have been getting back into my fitness slowly and want to keep this up as I have been feeling so much better after I exercise, plus it is making me feel more confident in my own skin :)

 

Take time out to read a book - I have actually set myself the goal of reading 20 books this year, you can see that post here, and have been doing really well, I am now on my 3rd book. I just need to set aside maybe an hour or two just to sit and relax and just enjoy a good book :)

 

Write down anything good/positive that happens - I want to write down something positive that has happened during the day or whenever it happens and put it in a jar :) I'm then going to look back at these things either at the end of every month or at the end of the year :)

 

Keep a diary - I have been writing daily in a diary anyway but instead of just writing what I done that day I want to start including how I'm feeling that particular day and hopefully I will notice that the positive outweighs the negative :)

 

Take more photos - With this goal I find I have so many cameras, on my phone, ipod, digital camera and I rarely take photos :( so I think taking more photos will be such a great thing to do as those memories/moments are then forever captured and you can look at them whenever you want :)

 

So those are my goals there are only 5 as I don't want to do to much as I don't do well with lots of things to do or being under pressure, so to many goals would not be a good thing, this is the perfect amount :)

 

I will write at the end of the month how I have got on :)

 

See You Soon!!

Been A While....

Hey Guys!!

 

I want to apologise that I haven't posted any blog posts in a while and I also haven't filmed my daily vlogs or weekly videos this week.

 

To be honest I have been taking a break for the past few days as I have been letting my depression take over a little bit :( so I needed to take a step back, collect my thoughts and sort myself out, not that it ever just goes away :(

 

So I do apologise for the lack of posts but I will be resuming normal posting, videoing, etc. in the next couple of days as I have this week off work where I can pull myself together and get back to some sort of normality :)

 

See You Soon!!

Baking: Heart Shaped Cake

Hey Guys!!

 

So thanks to my sister posting about her brownies she baked, I really wanted to bake a cake, I love baking anyway but it just really made me want to bake :)

 

I used my usual recipe which you can go over and try out HERE

 

All you need is:

 

110g Self Raising Flour

110g Caster Sugar

110g Butter/Marge

1-2tbsp Milk

1tsp Vanilla Extract

2 Free Range Eggs

 

 

Silly me didn't take any photos while I was mixing it :( but I did take a photo of the mix when I put it into the moulds :)

 

 

I put this in the oven on Gas Mark 4 and baked it for roughly 15-30 minutes to make sure it was baked all the way through. Once I took it out and let it cool before I put jam on the bottom layer and then put the top layer on :)

 

 

To decorate the cake I used:

 

Chocolate Fudge Icing

Gold Shimmer Spray

Glitter Sugar

Pink Icing Pen

 

 

I covered the whole cake in the chocolate icing, I must say in the pictures it looks like a big cake but it is actually only small and is enough for 2 people :) Once I finished the chocolate icing, I then sprayed the whole cake gold and it looked so nice and shiny :) then I put a bit of glitter sugar on and wrote a little message on it with my pink icing pen and this was the finished product :)

 

 

I just love how metallic it looks and I must say it tastes really delicious, though I think I may have put to much jam in the middle but still it tasted gorgeous :)

 

I hope you enjoyed this post and I'm hopefully going to do some more baking next week :)

 

See You Soon!!

 



My Week #5

Hey Guys!!

 

Another week has gone, seems like its going way to fast the time, don't you think? Especially as its been 5 weeks since I started these posts, scary stuff!!

 

Any how, I have sat and debated what my favourite pictures were from this week and I came up with this wonderful 7 :)

 

Sunday - I liked this picture as they had been fighting 5 minutes before I took this and then they were all curled up with each other as if it never happened haha

 

Monday - This was my first healthy meal of the week, as I have been trying really hard to eat clean and its been going pretty well. I must say this was delicious :) it was BBQ chicken with jacket potatoes, cheese and peas :)

 

Friday - Of course Friday was Valentines Day and of course I got my hubby a card and presents (his presents aren't pictured) but thought I would 'decorate' his envelope :) As you can see I had flowers, which is the norm I think for Valentines Day with anyone unless you don't like flowers, and I also had a new rugby shirt, me to you bear and candle :) The other Friday picture at the bottom is from a 5 minute walk from my Mums to my flat and I got soaked as this weather has been terrible :(

 

Saturday - I was in a bit of a baking mood thanks to my sister Chloe, she made brownies and did a blog post on it, which you can go over and read and follow her here if you'd like :) but I really fancied baking so baked this little heart cake :) I will be doing a blog post on it :)

 

So there you go these were my favourite pictures from this week, I'm hoping this week is going to be filled with some really fun things and just relaxing, but I am looking forward to my week off work next week :) Yay for half terms!! as much as I love my job its nice to have time off :)

 

See You Soon!!
