Love the little things #18

Last updated on March 4th, 2024 at 08:17 pm

The sun is shining,

Oh, happy days,

Life’s little treasures,

Coming in various ways.

Read

In between trying to really challenge myself by taking on as many projects at once, I have had a few minutes to sit down and actually get back to my I Heart Paris book, part of the I Heart book series. I have finished the first two and on the third book now. If only there was more time in the day as I really want to finish the series before I go to America.

Watched 

As part of my secret guilty pleasures, I watched Made in Chelsea. Shhh, don’t tell anyone. It’s the only English show I have ever watched. There is something about it’s awkward silences and too posh accents that keeps me intrigued. This week I was rooting that the rumors weren’t true about cheating Alex! All I will say, in case you haven’t had a chance to catch up, is I hope Binky’s Momma annihilates him soon!

Heard

As I went through a flashback to share Missy Moo’s birth story, I came upon this video of her only hours old and snoring. I have never laughed so hard in my life that such a noise could come from such a tiny new form of life. At the time I was worried that something was really wrong but the midwife assured me it was normal and would go away.

Made

On my new eat healthier, drink healthier, be healthier 2014 challenge, I have been having smoothie boosters for breakfast each morning. It helps kick start my metabolism and really starts my day making me feel good. Click the picture for the recipe. Anything can be thrown in, so you can have a different flavor everyday.

Wore

I am completely obsessed with #littlebird from Mothercare. I bought this gorgeous dress for Missy Moo for the summer along with a thin green cardigan. I loved it online and even more when I put it on her. So I have gone back and bought a few more from the brand for our upcoming vacation to America. It was the first time I have ever bought clothes from Mothercare and I have to say won’t be my last.

  2. The snoring is hilarious, the dress is just gorgeous and I’m thinking the smoothy would be a great way to get a couple of five a days in and some iron with all that spinach. #PoCoLo
