March Review.

Hello everyone.

So nice you could join me today. 

Happy Easter Monday. Did you have a lovely weekend? Mine has been amazing and just how I wanted it to be. 

Good Friday was spent in the garden, cutting the grass and finishing off the hedge I started a couple of weeks ago. It’s nice and tidy now so hopefully I can keep on top of it. 

Saturday was also busy but I was doing housework in between seeing the kids and grandkids who popped by at various times. 

On Sunday we had the annual Easter Egg Hunt. All the grandkids came round and enjoyed looking for the eggs and sweets that my daughter had arranged in the garden. It didn’t look like much when it was sitting on my dining table but when they came in with buckets overflowing I realised they had plenty. It was like a mad house with lots of laughter, and few squabbles and plenty of chatter - it was a good sight to see and hear. Do you have the Easter bunny arrive at your house?

So in the afternoon we had 15 to a big roast turkey dinner. It was delicious and as usual I overate, especially when the dessert was served! I’d made a bread and butter pudding, inspired by a friend who’d made it for me and David a few weeks ago. It was made with brioche bread which was delicious and went down very well with a splash of cream. Guess what’s happening today though? 

Well I’m doing it all again with my son and his family and my other son who couldn’t make it yesterday. There’s plenty of turkey left so it’s just a case of making more roasties and preparing some more veg. 

It’s the first Monday of April, therefore it’s time to look back on last month’s posts to see what I was doing  ….

Welcome to the March Review. 

Sunny yellow for my first post in March. I was trying desperately to entice the sunshine, alas it’s not fully arrived here yet, but there’s been hints of what’s coming with the odd warmer & sunny days. My pretty dress is from Izabel London. It’s a company I’m pleased to say I’m still affiliated with. Checkout the full story via this link.

Happy Bank Holiday Monday and Happy New Month!

Hope you are all well and have had a great weekend.

It's crazy to say we're in April!  How the year has flown by already.

I've been so busy lately with not having a moment to myself so my blogging has taken a bit of a back seat, hence todays' post is so late!  Hope you're stuck around to read it 🙏

As I've already mentioned I've had a busy time recently with the Easter weekend being no different.  We had a funeral on Thursday and I felt a bit worse for wear on Friday so didn't do much.  David and some of the family put the windows in the new build and I can't tell you how pleased I am to see them in!  I did think they'd take a bit longer than they did, but as usual David didn't fail to impress me with all of them being installed on one day!  Saturday was spent doing a couple of jobs and going to friends for dinner.  We had a lovely evening dining on Tartiflette, steak, mushrooms, roasted tomatoes and onions.  I took a dessert of meringue's filled with fruit and cream.  I opted to drive, so had a nosecco which I'm happy to drink.  So on Sunday I woke up feeling good, but still tired.  The day flew by with preparations for a roast turkey, home made stock and turkey gravy, roast potatoes and veg - along with Yorkshire puddings (who else has Yorkshire puddings with any roast?)  Followed by hokey pokey ice-cream.  The Easter Egg hunt went very well with all of them having a big basket full of chocolates to take home. I hope you got some chocolate eggs, I got two!  One nearly eaten, but don't judge me .. lol!

So today has been fairly slow.  I didn't get a chance to do this post earlier, so am taking advantage of the quiet afternoon and doing it now!

Now let's get going on the March Review.

The first post featured savings, more importantly getting your kids to save.  I'd love you to head back and read about the UGMA and saving for the future.

The next post was all about a matchy-matchy outfit.  The floaty Bonmarche dress blended beautifully with shoes and bag for a streamlined monochromatic look.  Let me know your thoughts on this mix.

March Review.

Morning my lovely friends.

How ya' doing?

Happy Easter Monday.

Did you have a nice Easter weekend break?  

How many Easter eggs have you eaten?  I only got one and that was after lots of big hints to hubby and nearly having to buy it myself - lol.  I usually receive one from my mum, but she hasn't been out yet so didn't get one from her!  Ohhh I sound like a spoiled child don't I!!!!

The children enjoyed their Easter Egg Hunt 🐇🥚  If you follow my IG stories you may have seen my trail.  They had lots of eggs to enjoy, so I hope they didn't eat too many and make themselves ill!!!

Time for the March Review.

It's scary to think we are in April already, I just hope and pray that things keep heading in the right direction and we can continue our route out of lock-down.  

A new month also means I can share last month's blog posts.  

In this post you can read about what I've been obsessing over, I had a busy month that was filled with all sort of emotions.  I sadly lost my darling little Jack Russell Roxy after her being by my side for nearly 16 years.  Also I had a special little lady arrive some ten days early.  She's gone a long way to mend my broken heart. 💖

But first let's start with a vest top.  There's a few different terms for this little jumper and I've been interested to find out what you call them!
