Happy Friday everyone! I'm really looking forward to this weekend; we're off to see Captain America: The Winter Soldier on Saturday and on Sunday, Dave and Lucas are cooking me dinner for Mothering Sunday. The menu is a secret, and Lucas is bursting with excitement about the whole thing. Can't wait!
Hello to any visitors from Sunny Sweet Pea (who has just posted an interview with me today)--it's lovely to have you!

Favourite Crochet: Ombre Crochet Throw
I'm on a real crochet and crafting kick at the moment. Last night at our WI In Stitches group I saw a gorgeous crochet ripple blanket and fell in love. While hunting around for patterns last night, I came across this beautiful ombre blanket. Isn't it amazing? I've never seen crocodile stitch before but I can't wait to give it a go!
Favourite Advice: 8 Tricks to help you get back into an exercise routine
I'll be the first to admit that the gym and I aren't friends at the moment. I don't know why...I always love it when I'm there, it's just the getting there that's the problem. I don't mean transport-wise...I mean motivation.
There are some fab tips in this article and I'm definitely going to give some of them a go. If only they included some ninja tips for sneaking back into the gym without anyone commenting on my absence...
Also seen on the web this week:
♥ I loved Michelle's post about Pete and Betty, her furry friends. Lots of gorgeous pictures of the puppies!
♥ Five things I wish I knew when I started out in Photography. Great advice!
♥ April Fools Pranks to play on your kids! (Although, this may be a slippery slope to go down with Lucas. It might escalate quite quickly!!)
Can I come to your pavlova party? That pav looks a.maz.ing. x (Might need the gym motivation tips afterwards though.
ReplyDeleteYou totally can :) I do love a good pav, but I've never seen a triple-decker one before!
DeleteThe April Fools Pranks I would love to do on the girls one year, I just think they might be a bit too over emotional with it all or at least one of them x
ReplyDeleteI tried to fool Lucas this year by telling him that an April Fool was actually a dessert that was only eaten on the first of April. Alas, he cottoned on quite quickly (despite knowing how much I love puds).
DeleteJust let me know when the Pavlova Party is...
ReplyDeleteM x
Will do! xx
