Happy 1st September, we are off on our holidays this week so I won’t be joining in with this for a couple of weeks. As soon as I return normal schedules will resume.
We took a trip to the park round the corner from us as the weather was decent, little man was loving life going up and down, round and round. We spent a good hour there and he cried when we had to go home.
Do your kids love the park?
Happy Sunday!
Happy Bank Holiday Monday!
This time next week I will on a plane flying off on my holidays for 10 days. Can’t wait. I will try and not make you jealous by posting to many photos on Instagram and Facebook.
Last weeks meal plan was a bit hit and miss and I still never went food shopping and we had takeaway pizza from dominoes on Wednesday night.
We had a lovely but busy weekend as the husband was working then out at a friends birthday, I had my hair done so sent Freddie to my parents. Then Sunday I went for afternoon tea with my mum, my best friend and her mum. Perfect bank holiday.
This week we are having:
Fake away Chinese food
Garlic & lemon salmon with salad (me) & burgers (husband)
Chicken curry, rice/chips, naan and poppodums
Meatballs & spaghetti
Beef stir fry with egg noodles and vegetables
Tuna pasta bake
Takeaway
I won’t be posting a meal plan for two weeks after this week and I will be back on the 16th September.
Freddie turned 2 in July and his room can get quite cold but was nervous about getting him a quilt and pillow because he’s such a fidget bum.
So last weekend we finally brought Freddie a quilt and pillow set from Mothercare.
Just look how cute he looks cuddled up to his teddy.
What age did you give your little one a quilt and pillow set?
This week started off with some exciting new of me becoming an Auntie again, my sister in law had a little baby girl called Elizabeth on Sunday night, to go with her 3 boys.
Last week was OK, bit up in airs as went food shopping Monday afternoon but they had hardly anything I needed so made the most of what I’ve got as we go on holiday soon so don’t want to be doing a big food shop.
This week we are doing:
Tuna Pasta Bake
Chicken breast wrapped in bacon with gravy and vegetables
Quiche, rice and salad
Chicken enchiladas
Garlic & herb lamb steaks with crushed new potatoes, gravy and vegetables
Spaghetti Bolognese
Full roast dinner with all the trimmings
What’s on your meal plan this week?
Love a lazy Sunday morning, it is a very rare occasion in our house anymore with the little dude so when we can bribe him with his favourite kids program just to earn a bit longer in bed I will.
Have a great Sunday
Last week disappeared in no time again. I’ve got about 3 weeks till our holiday starts and that will be bliss, no cooking or cleaning for 10 whole days, can’t wait.
Last week we ended up having takeaway Indian on Saturday for the MIL birthday instead of what we had planned but just swapped it for another day.
The weather was also hit and miss last week, just want us to have a proper summer now.
This week I must go shopping as we don’t really have much in to cook.
This week I will be doing
Lamb shanks in red wine sauce with creamy mash and vegetables
Southern fried chicken wraps
Crispy duck and an assortment of Chinese food
Shepherds Pie
Enchiladas
Burgers & Chips (I’m out for a meal with friends)
Roast dinner all the trimmings
What are your meals for this week
Well, Hello August, Nice to see you.
I really don’t know where this year has gone, it’s crazy. Last weeks meal plan was inspired by my husband for a change and he choose the meals we had. He loved the southern fried chicken wraps so I think that is going to be a new favourite go to meal for us.
This week I am rustling up
Sirloin steak, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, chunky homemade chips with peppercorn sauce
Spaghetti bologenese with spiralized courgette
Slow cooked chicken curry and basmatic rice
Bacon & cheese quiche with Savory beef rice & salad
Warm chicken Cesar salad and croutons
Sausage, egg, chips & beans
Roast dinner with all the trimmings
What are you cooking this week?
I love flowers even if my husband thinks and calls them dead plants. they just brighten up the house no matter the weather. I will try and pick a few bunches up every time I go shopping.
They are placed in several places around the house like in the kitchen, lounge, hall and even the bathroom. I find carnation last much longer than other flowers normally too.
Do you have a favourite type of flower?
How are we at the end of July already? This week has been crazy and has flown by.
Last weeks meal plan went good again, I finally went food shopping after not going properly for a few weeks due to various things. We had a bit of a heatwave and a huge thunderstorm last Tuesday so we didn’t get much sleep.
The last few meals I have made the husband has moaned he is going off part or all of it so I have been struggling for meals to do, so this week I asked him to write down what he wanted so I could shop accordingly and the below is what he has chosen. Do you ask your partner what they want to eat?
Lasagna (His favourite all time meal)
Tuna Pasta Bake
Enchiladas
Shepherds Pie
Southern Fried Chicken wraps & Salad
Meatballs
Burgers (No chips)
Does your partner decided on meals or do you decide all?
Have a great week all
I’ve been so rubbish keeping up to date with doing this linky. I try and do it the same time as I do my meal planning Mondays for the week but seem to be failing miserable.
Anyways, a couple of weeks ago it was my mum’s 65th Birthday, she didn’t want to do anything but we weren’t going to let it pass without. Me & dad arranged a surprise gathering at their house with her closest family & friends. Dad took her out for a late lunch and when they arrived home we were all in the garden.
