Happy

Jamster + marshmallows = happy

 

There is something about sweet treats that always puts a smile on the Mini Mes' faces. Their little eyes light up at the sight of cake and lollipops or anything packed with sugar and E numbers.

 

We had a lovely meal out to celebrate Minxy turning 9 on Sunday and the jelly, brownies and ice cream made her grin ear to ear too.

Reasons to be happy

My reasons to be happy

With two poorly children off school with flu and tonsillitis it has been a bit tricky to think of reasons to smile this week. I guess the fact that so far the Mr and I have remained well is worth being cheerful about though.

I have a child free weekend ahead so I'm looking forward to relaxing a little without the constant need to fetch tissue, drinks and medicine! We were originally helping family relocate to Liverpool but they have altered their moving date by a day so don't need our assistance anymore -  I can relax.

We had a lovely meal out on Tuesday evening, the poorly Mini Mes went to their dad for a few hours so I didn't have cabin fever. The Mr and I went to Red Hot for a complimentary meal to review. We have been a few times but it always tastes better when their is no bill at the end!

What reasons to you have to be cheerful this week?

Meal Planning Monday

The year seems to be flying by so quickly doesn't it, it feels like only yesterday I was planning last weeks meals! I can't believe it is nearly March - where does the time go?!

This weeks planner...
Carbonara and garlic ciabatta
A meal out at Red Hot
Meatball bolognese
Steak, wedges, onion rings, peas and peppercorn sauce

We are child free Friday evening until Sunday and away in Liverpool helping family move so we will eat out while there I imagine. I quite enjoy a night, or a few, a week without cooking although the calories tend to add up quite fast. I'll be giving Josie Gibson's 30 second slim workout a go this week 4/5 times to help with the ongoing weight loss! Interval training is apparently the quickest way to shift the pounds so fingers crossed.

What's on your menu this week?
