Where has this week flown? It's been blue skies and sunshine here today so the girls and I whipped out the picnic rug at lunchtime and ate outside together. Apart from a quick trip to Spotlight, we've just been pottering around the house, tidying and doing odd-jobs.
This afternoon, I have a bit of cooking planned - a chicken and sweet potato number for Sophie, curry for our tea and a Jamie Oliver chicken pie for tomorrow night. As per usual, I'll have too many dishes on the go at once but I just realised I have chicken I have to use sooner rather than later so I have no choice.
As for the weekend, I'm hoping to...
- sew a cushion cover with a cute white bobble trim for Sophie's room
- get Paul to hang some things I've made this week to decorate our front porch
- practice some photography (as I haven't taken as many shots as usual lately)
- start reading a book I bought recently called Simplicity Parenting
What about you? How is your weekend looking?
It looks like lots of fun having a picnic for lunch, such beautiful weather you've had today, the sun shone here too which was lucky with a washing line full of sheets and towels to dry:) Enjoy your weekend I like the sound of what you've got planned, you'll have to show and tell:) The only plan so far is for hubby and Miss 12 to do some bbqing for Guides on Sunday, hopefully some gardening and craft for me. Have a wonderful weekend. xx
ReplyDeleteMust be so good to sit out in the sun, it has been miserable here today. Sounds like you have a very full weekend planned. I am going on a girls weekend from tomorrow morning and plan to take lots of photos too, plus relax and enjoy of course. Have a good one. Gx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely little spot and they look so happy! I need to do that with my girls more i think, we don't eat outside much at the moment!
ReplyDeleteWe have a trip to the toy library planned, perhaps the park if it stays sunny and i would love to try out my new sewing machine that is still in the box after a week!
Have a good one...that cushion sounds lovely!
Enjoy the sun! The chicken pie sounds yummy x
ReplyDeleteIt has been nice and sunny this week, although still very fresh in the shade! The girls look like they're having a fantastic time :)
ReplyDeleteMy plans are renovating/painting by day and drinking wine by night!
Cant wait to see what you've made for outside, make sure you take pics!
It was such a beautiful day in the sun but so cold inside.....you made the very best of that moment for sure....
ReplyDeleteHave a great cooking evening and lovely weekend.
The cushion cover sounds super cute, please share the end result. I am looking forward to catching up with an old flatmate from my flight attendant days this weekend and scouring a few junk shops with my big boy. He loves it, I think (fingers crossed). x
ReplyDeleteHi Gorgeous! Yes, the weeks are flying by way toooo quickly & I don't like it one bit :(

Ooh, Jamie Oliver chicken pie sounds good!
ReplyDeleteMy weekend will include swimming lessons for the boys, family dinner and a spot of shopping. I need a wedding outfit - STAT. Wedding outfits in Winter are HARD WORK!
I'm with you, this week has indeed flown! I've got a quiet weekend ahead, no real plans at all at this point but I'm looking forward to pottering around at home. Plenty of things on my list to do if I locate some energy to do them!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing what you made for your front porch!
Hmm, after an early start to watch the Olympics Opening Ceremony, we have a 10.30 am soccer match for Joshie tomorrow, followed by haircuts for the boys. I'll visit the Mothers' Market, alone - bliss! I haven't thought any further than that. I agree with Em - please show us the cushion when you've finished. J x
ReplyDeleteWell I spoke too soon!! After a bit of Spring type weather today was cold and rainy. But I spent some time inside in front of the fire doing a couple more granny squares. And yes, please show us some of your creations. Have a great week! Mel xx
ReplyDeleteLook at your gorgeous girls, Amanda. Backyard picnics are the best as is the news that you are taking life at the right pace. Thanks for your kind words too xxx
ReplyDeleteDid you get to Simplicity Parenting...I'm still reading it (haven't picked it up in ages)...but you've inspired me. I'm feeling fluey so might take myself off to bed early and have a little read. Would love to know your thoughts when you're finished x
