Southern In Law: Recent Things: Losing My Mind and My Wallet!

Hey there! Happyyyy Friday!

I know that right now, for a lot of us, the weekend feels like just another day - but hey! You've almost made it through another week!

This week has been crazy busy, a little bit stressful but also very exciting

So let me catch you up on our week! >>

Recently Buying: A CAR!

Certainly not your usual weekly purchase, but after a weekend spent at the car dealership and a week of madly chasing the car we were after, the car dealership was able to secure a car for us and next Saturday we'll have a brand new car!

We went to the dealership with Jesse wanting to buy one car, and walked away buying another - and we went from looking at one colour to another to settling on an all black Toyota CH-R (not the pictured one!).

It's a super popular car, but with a bit of research and some clever searching by the car dealership, they found a brand new all black one which is exactly what Jesse wanted - and we don't have to wait 6 months!

Recently Making: My Healthy Paleo Banana Bread Recipe in muffins for a quick breakfast/snack option! This is still one of our all time favourite recipes (and one of the most popular recipes on the blog) and all for good reason! They're SO yummy!

Recently Reading: Stephen King's If It Bleeds. SOOOOOO good!!!

I couldn't put it down. Just the book I needed to break my reading slump!

Recently Finding: The Carebear in our window has somehow lost it's eye.. and when I restuck it and reattached the bear, it has lost it's eye even more.

I think it's time for the creepy bears to go 😜

Recently Zooming: A LOT! From Bible study groups and work meetings to birthday parties and our Disney group, we've spent a lot of time chatting on Zoom this week!

Recently Losing: My wallet! I am not someone who loses things so I was freaking out - but luckily it seems to have fallen out of my bag at the supermarket (I think when using the self serve checkout) and someone handed it in!

I'd called the supermarket earlier in the day and they said nothing had been turned in - but then I realised I was talking to someone in the back office and not at the front desk so called back later (after turning the house upside down searching for it) and they had it!

Such a relief!!

Recently Learning: You really SHOULD wear gloves when cutting really hot chillies 😜My hands were on FIRE for like 3 hours while I tried every possible remedy to help them.

Lesson LEARNT.

Also, after soaking my hands in milk (so gross) they finally settled - so if you have the same problem, ignore all the internet strategies and just grab some milk.
