The week that was

It was the week I actually got this post up on time :-).

And it was the week I spent MANY hours every morning watching the Tour de France….

It was the week I finally made my way back into my scrapbook room – working a BIT on my smash book, project life and a scrapbook layout….

and it was the week of evidence of a straw delivery for the chickens….

It was the week of just a few walks to the park as I’m STILL battling a sinus infection… and quite frankly I’ve had more than enough…..

And it was the week of a family outing. First for lunch….

It was the week of longing for warmer weather so I can get back out for some sunrise walks…

and it was the week of a delivery from Tone It Up….

It was the week I saw this sign on a pub. Bad photo due to zoom on my phone but I thought it was pretty funny.

It was the week of lots of girls at our house with both girls having friends to sleep over….

and it was the week of a trip to the dentist and optomotrist for Christy (who we hope has left her glasses as school since she can’t find them!!!!)….

It was the week of very sleepy puppies….

Strangely enough he died at the hotel we stayed at in Vancouver so I guess I’ll always have this association when I remember our time there :-(. I was so sad to hear about his death. He seemed like such a nice guy. Drugs are so bad. And death is so final :-(.

Foodie Friday

I’ve been prepared to do this post the last 2 Fridays but leave it to the last minute then something comes up. Once again I’ve left it to the last minute (5pm) so let’s hope I get this published. The girls go back to school next Tuesday so hopefully normality will return soon. Don’t forget if you miss me too much you can always check out my videos on YouTube – I’m posting 2 “day in the life” vlogs a week, plus other assorted videos.

So what have I been eating the last few weeks.  Still lots of easy meals as Kevin was away and it’s school holidays. Just over a week ago I made the commitments to go (processed) sugar free again.

Breakfast included a few cheese & pineapple jaffles….

There were also a few green smoothies, but they just aren’t as appealing in the morning when it’s cold.

Lunches included many salads. It’s been great as Amy’s been making them for us.

Do your eating habits change with the season? I used to always have a lot of soup in Winter, but this year it’s still all about the salads (unless it’s freezing cold).

The week that was

Sorry AGAIN for the lack of blog posts. I’ve still been a bit under the weather, the Tour De France has been on, AND it’s school holidays so my routine is totally out of the window. Will try to do better, I promise.

It was the week of exciting moments for the Aussie team – 4 days in the yellow jersey…

IMG_5695.jpg

and the fastest team….

It was the week of lots and lots and lots of rain. I’m not kidding, it rained 8 days straight, only clearing up on Sunday….

It was the week of just a few walks but the lake was the highest I’ve ever seen it….

It was the week I got these new shoes… after seeing the silver pair on instagram…
