• Waking up as Jesse clambered into our bed.
• Wondering how much I’ll miss his tiny kisses and cuddles when he decides he’s too grown up for snuggling.
• Lounging in bed while Mr. LA headed downstairs with the children.
• Sipping tea and slowly waking up.
• Eating a fried egg sandwich for breakfast.
• Coaxing the children into their clothes.
• Lingering in the shower.
• Slipping on a pretty polka dot dress and my beloved Lotta from Stockholm Peep Toe Clogs. They’ve barely been off my feet since I bought them with my birthday money a few weeks ago. Definitely need them in every colour.
• Walking to the bus stop in the rain.
• Arriving in the city centre just as the clouds began to clear.
• Picking up a pair of dungarees for Izzy. She’s been pining for a pair for as long as I can remember and I practically had to wrestle her out of them at bedtime this evening.
• Buying trousers and stripy tops for Jess.
• Grabbing a light lunch at Giraffe.
• Lusting after the new scent from Jo Malone, Wood Sage and Sea Salt. It’s heavenly.
• Spending a gift card in Space NK. My skin is thanking me for finally treating it to some hydrating serum.
• Stocking up on boring bits and bobs at Wilkos.
• Riding the bus back home.
• Pottering in the kitchen while the children played and Mr. LA finished off a little DIY.
• Turning 1kg of foraged fruit into plum and pecan crumble {recipe to follow}.
• Feeding the children beans on toast.
• Hiding downstairs while the evening routine descended into chaos.
• Finally reading bedtime stories and giving good night kisses.
• Drinking wine and eating dinner.
• Climbing into bed and watching The Good Wife until I drifted off.
• Sleeping in.
• Relishing a slow, lazy start to the day.
• Plotting a few finishing touches for the living room. I think we’re finally going to pull the trigger on a new rug and some additional lighting. Exciting!
• Eventually getting our act together and wandering to the park in the sunshine.
• Popping to the supermarket for supplies.
• Strolling home via the playground.
• Smiling when Jesse discovered his second wobbly tooth as he bit into his apple.
• Smiling some more when he declared he would soon be rich thanks to the tooth fairy.
• Eating lunch outside in the yarden.
• Meal planning for the week ahead. The online shop always feels like such a chore, but I do like flicking through recipe books in search of inspiration.
• Sorting laundry.
• Cooking and eating Italian Roast Chicken with Peppers and Olives.
• Demolishing the last of the crumble.
• Putting Jesse to bed.
• Working while Izzy read quietly on the sofa.
• Typing this post as she sang along to Olly Murs’ music videos on YouTube.
• Looking forward to an early night {and more episodes of The Good Wife. Season 5. I’m obsessed.}
