February recap | 2023


How are we at the end of February already? I feel like this year is flying by. I really enjoyed writing a little recap last month and this month has been a lot better.

We started off with a little Mum and Lilly day, she had an inset day from school and I took the opportunity to spoil my girl. We started with a Mcdonalds breakfast and finished in the arcades at the 2p machines.

Finally I am feeling better so I have taken the girls out more, on walks and to the park to make up for the past couple of months. The fresh air has done the world of good for my mental health and I feel the girls really appreciated the time too.

We celebrated Valentines day with a few little gifts and Liam cooked me a love dinner, we had homemade burger and chips. During half term we visited Scotney Castle and hunted out some dinosaurs, we made cookies, visited family and went on a lovely walk to find some horses.

The past week we have enjoyed some pancakes for pancake day, Olivia is not a fan of crepes but loves the fluffy style ones, I enjoyed some with lemon and sugar on.

Lastly Lilly was invited back to Brownies this week, she managed to achieve the gold award when she was there and was called back to receive her badge and certificate, it was a little emotional as it was the last time she will be there with the brownies, she's growing so fast, it felt like the end of an era. 

This month was certainly a lot better and I am glad that my health is better so I can enjoy more experiences with my girls. How was your month?

Victoria

Autumn Tag

Hello, I thought that today I would take part in the Autumn tag so you can all get to know me a little better, I took part in this on my old blog many years back and a lot has changed since. Autumn has to be my favourite season with so much change and the excitement for Christmas not far ahead. 1. What signifies the start of Autumn for you? I know Autumn starts at the end of September but for me its the first of November when it starts to officially feel like Autumn, it all of the sudden feels different and colder after Halloween and especially when the clocks go back too. 2. What is your favourite Autumn scent? My favourite autumn scents are either Orange or berries, they always make the house smell so warm and toasty in wax melt form and I love them in a hand cream or even a bubble bath scent too around this time of year.. 3. What is your favourite Autumn colour? My favourite Autumn colour has to be the burnt orange for the leaves but burgundy colour for clothing, the are just very w...

Cottage pie recipe

I have recently started making my own Cottage pie with a recipe that I have tweeted to work four our fussy family. I find that a cottage pie is such an Autumn/Winter staple as it feeling like such a warm, hearty meal, one that is a proper comfort meal.  I recently started making the meal and found that I didn't have a packet mix in so decided to find a recipe to try out, the first one I found sounded good but I changed it slightly to fit our family, Lils isn't keen on fresh onion ad none of us like celery. I thought I would share our recipe with you which can easily be adapted if need be. Recipe 500g Beef Mince 1 carton of tomato passata  1 tbs tomato paste 1 beef stock cube 1 beef stock pot 1 tsp onion salt 1 tsp garlic granules 1 tsp mixed herbs 2 medium carrots sliced and part cooked Salt and pepper 3 large potatoes for mash 75g cheese Method 1. Preheat you oven to gas mark 4/180oC 2. Brown off the mince and drain off excess oil from the pan. 3. Pour in the pass...
