Love the little things #43

Last updated on November 19th, 2023 at 12:15 am

Friday, how did you happen? Where did Wednesday, Thursday go? I wish I could say it was because I got to sleep through those two days or was off having the time of my life and they blurred into one. Truth be told I don’t know where any of the days go lately. The end of 2014 is just going way too fast for my liking. The kids are growing up too fast, and things leading up to Buba starting school are going even faster. Eeek!

Enough about all that let’s look back at this week and see what’s made the days go so fast. Linking up with the beautiful Butwhymummywhy for your #littleloves linky and her gang of trusty supporters.  Come join us to love the little things!

Read

I am still going strong on reading a book a week. I just pick this one up for this week’s read and can’t wait to start it. I always like to read the book before I watch the movie.

Last week’s good read was Oprah’s What I Know For Sure  packed full of great advice and eye opening stories of her colorful life.

If I Stay Good Reads Great Book

Heard

Olly Murs – Right Place Right Time

Watched

Grey’s Anatomy started Wednesday, hurray and Scandal is heating up while we get further into Forever as well. That goodness for recorded tv though as I have really been trying to work on my vlogging and watching more YouTube to see how I can get better and more captivating. I just did this video on my first book as many readers didn’t realize the book on my sidebar is actually in fact my first baby! Check it out below. Let me know what you think of my vlogging? Any subject you would like to see there. I love a good request, comment below.

I am loving this week’s #capturingcolour hashtag on Instagram. Yellow is my all time favorite and so in true support I had to showcase my favorite yellow dress from a little boutique in America.

Made 

We have been very busy this week making things and getting creative. We carved Olaf & Doc McStuffin Pumpkins that turned out to be a huge hit with the kids and the neighbors!

I also have made the kids these scrumptious Chicken & Cheese Croissants. They are so easy to make and when you are in a rush and want to get protein and vegetables in your little ones it’s the perfect solution. Why not pin this below to save the recipe for another day! I finally am on Pinterest and getting organized!Chicken & Cheese Croissants Recipe

And lastly…

If you are a frequent visitor here you will know I have had a tough few weeks with the vomit bug, then back to back flu/colds, the kids being sick and then being the victim of bank and paypal hacking. My luck the last two weeks have been less than great. But the only thing I am so grateful for is good friends being there when I need them most, even if it’s just a coffee, catch up it really does help. I was so excited to get the chance to catch up with my good friend Morgana who really cheered me up, and got my head back on positive mode. She is so positive, and upbeat with her beautiful smiles it is hard to stay gloomy after a visit with her.

“Good friends are hard to find,

when you find one hold them close,

treat them how you want to be treated and they will last forever”

Good Friends Butwhymummywhy

  1. Scandal was SO GOOD last night, You have to tell me when you’ve seen it! Not a dull moment at all.
    Loved having coffee with you this week, especially when it turned out we nearly spent the whole day in Starbucks together, haha. I think we could have talked for days.
    Have a lovely weekend xxx

  2. Gosh Jenny I honestly don’t know where you find the time! I never watch TV shows so I never know what my friends are talking about! I love the pumpkins 🙂 I wonder if I can find a decent template for Manchester United …

    • I was the same, I hadn’t read since MM was born but I just make myself have 20-30 minutes a night before bed. Its great to get back into it. Greys is amazing not sure how it will be without Christina though.

    • Yes as soon as I get the living room finished I will be vlogging and blogging it. But also trying to video the other rooms I have already done and adding them to their post! Lots more vlogging to come. Thanks for the lovely comment. Yes Morgana and I actually were friends before we knew each other blogged. It was a coincidence! lol Small world. Our hubby’s work together.
