Yesterday Amy and I went into Wollongong to get some things we needed for Germany. We had a fabulous time together and encountered so many friendly staff. We also had some tea & scones for morning tea, then some yummy Mexican for lunch. 6 hours later we finally made it home and I filmed a video of my haul.
Project Life
You might recall that one of my goals for the year was to complete Project Life. I’ve done it before (kind of) but last year fizzled right out. This year I decided to follow Jackie from Comes a Time ‘s example and focus on weekly, rather than daily photos. But I’ve run into a big stumbling block in printing my photos. I got a new printer but am having trouble getting photos from on my computer, onto a card and then printer. It’s really random what photos will show up as available to print so I have no idea what the problem is.
Anyway, here’s what I’ve got done so far. You can watch the video and/or check out the photos.
Sorry about the glare on the photos – hard to escape when dealing with pockets (Jackie you need to let me know your secret). You can the pages more clearly in the video.
Are any of you doing Project Life? How you’re going with it?
Foodie Friday
You’ll be pleased (and probably surprised) to hear that I enjoyed some treats (as you’ll see) over Easter but got right back on track with my eating. I’ll start with what I ate over the Easter long weekend, as that is definitely the most interesting.
Easter show eats (still can’t believe how well I ate, but I just ate what I wanted).
There was, of course, a corn cob. Plus homemade gnocchi…
a delicious ice cream that was bought for me….
strawberries and cream…
and the best Thai dinner I’ve ever had….
and as a treat before bed, one very delicious lemon cupcake…
Easter Saturday we enjoyed a vegetable quiche….
some sponge cake…
and pasta with tomato sauce…
Easter sunday I enjoyed brunch…
and, of course, a few eggs…
Dinner was finger food (forget to take a photo). Lunch on Easter Monday was homemade pizza at the Powells.
Breakfast remains a smoothie, with varying fruit. This was cherry – delicious.
Though one morning it was cold and miserable looking so after a walk (in the rain) I cooked egg (which was a double yolker from our chooks) and some asparagus. Was yummy but didn’t keep me as a full as my smoothie does.
Lunch too remained a salad, though one day I stir-fried some veggies and had with some veggie bites.
Other dinners were honey soy “chicken” and brown rice…
and potato with Quorn bolognase sauce….
With just over a week to go till our Germany trip I didn’t buy too many groceries, but we did need some more fruit & veg…
and some dairy…
The week that was
is very overdue. I’ll blame Easter.
It was the week of lovely morning walks…
and it was the week of a fun-filled Easter with the Powells….
It was the week one my fav. YouTubers met one of Amy’s fav. YouTubers…
and it was the week of hot pink nails…
It was the week of a candid photo with Bailey….
and Bailey pleading for some lunch….
