Why hello there! Happy Friday!
This weekend has been busy busy busy and my brain has been buzzing with to do lists and things I need to do all week long - so I am SERIOUSLY ready for a weekend... even though, let's be honest.... I probably won't be able to relax all the way.
But at least I won't be expected to work 😜
Before I can get to the weekend, I need to fill you in on the week!
Here's what's been happening in our world recently! >>
Recently Loving: An extra snuggly Chanel. The temperature has dropped a bit this week and Chanel must be feeling it because she's been extra snuggly!
In the summer I almost forget how snuggly Chanel is because she gets too hot and prefers to keep to herself - but when the weather cools down? She's back to her snuggly self!
Recent Purchases: Well, I actually purchased this a little while ago - but it just arrived and I am OBSESSED.
I have really long hair so messy buns are pretty much a nightmare. But I bought one of these bun makers and holy guacamole it is SO easy - and the buns actually look so good. OBSESSED, people... OBSESSED. They are so cheap and there are so many colours/options. My sister has already bought some for herself after seeing how well they work.
Recent Dramas: Last Friday we were sitting at home when I smelt this horrible burning smell. I was looking all over the house but couldn't find where it was coming from so I opened the front door and saw smoke EVERYWHERE.
We live right by a huge park so I quickly ran upstairs to see where it was coming from, thinking the park was on fire - but Jesse then realised it was actually in the opposite direction - coming from a house.
I don't know the poor people whos house was on fire - but luckily no one was hurt. Their home is badly burnt though and I really hope they have insurance that covers it all! What a nightmare!
Recent Reads: THIS BOOK. Oh my goodness, you NEED to read this book.
It may only be March, but I think The Memories That Make Us may just be my favourite book of the year. It went straight to the MUST READ section of The Ultimate Bookshelf.
Recently Loving: Early mornings in the park. As we near the end of daylight savings, the sun is rising later and later which means I get to take advantage of the sunrise on my morning walks! Though, I do wait until it starts rising, otherwise it's way too dark!
Recent Fun: On the weekend we had some friends come over for dinner and Jesse turned it into a full on meat fest with a HEAP of beef ribs.
Jesse has become a little bit known for his ribs amongst our friends - and he thinks of himself as a bit of a pro.
Recent Companions: Trixie, as always, is my constant work companion when I'm working from home. She spends all day at my feet - often with her head resting on my foot as I work on the computer. SO cute!
Recent Arrivals: Yesterday these Blank Wooden Nesting Dolls arrived on my doorstep! I ordered these ones (so cheap!) for a bit of a weekend project. I got two sets - one for Jesse and one for me - so that we can have a paint-off.
I don't know what design I'm going to do on mine... any ideas?!
Recent Posts: This week on the blog I share The Ultimate Bookworm Gift Guide and this delicious Vietnamese Inspired Bun Cha Salad Recipe.
But tell me,
How has your week been?
Any ideas for my nesting/babushka dolls?
And what have you got planned for the weekend?
