Haven't done one of these in a while (almost a year, I just checked!) and since I'm still coughing like a mad thing and don't have much mental energy going spare, I figured it was the perfect prompt for this week's Wednesday post...
Here goes...
Eating...
Nothing exciting actually but I am beginning to think that the slow cooker may be brought out of storage this weekend. The weather has gone colder and I feel a stew coming on...
Boy's Kindergarten teacher made cinnamon buns this week and that started something of a trend over here, thank goodness it's Autumn because I can literally feel myself expanding as the days go by. Damn you, cinnamon goodness!!
Reminiscing...
about life before school. Sigh. Boy is much happier this week, but we have had a rocky start to Year 1 and combined with Toddler starting nursery, this Mama is missing the carefree days of babies at home with no real schedules other than eat, poop, sleep! It doesn't help that Wednesday is swimming day so we have to make two trips to the pool. Bring on gin o'clock!
Aahh lazy mornings, how I miss thee!
Loving...
the vocabulary leap Toddler has just been through. His sentences are really coming together in the cutest little voice EVER. Melts me!
We're also big fans of Autumn over here, bring on the scarves and the ankle boots.
We've been...
just settling into our new nursery/school routine and trying to enjoy some serious downtime at the weekends.
Last weekend we took the boys for a romp around Attingham Park...there is something so delicious about unpacking the welly boots and fleecy jumpers :-)
We have been exploring Snapchat recently too...we are total novices but it's kinda fun??
Dreading...
nothing?? Is that tempting fate??
Working on...
our rental house and what on earth we're going to do with it. A decision needs to be made, rarrh.
Excited about...
Husband running the Great Birmingham Run next month. Also VERY excited about our overnight trip away that I've booked as a surprise, we are in desperate need of some time away as a couple. Can't wait.
This bed is calling my name!
Watching/reading...
Well, I ploughed my way through Gilmore girls and Stranger Things and am now a bit lost...
Am also waiting for Elin Hilderbrand's latest installment of the Winter Street trilogy, Winter Storms, hurry up November. Any recommendations for TV or books welcome!!
Listening to...
the blasted iPod that still throws Christmas songs in every so often. I've decided that, since it's only 90 days until next Christmas, I may as well leave them on there now. Sigh.
Wearing...
my new navy culottes from M&S. Serious trouser love. It's quite ridiculous how much I adore them. This photo is dire, mind.
Doing this weekend...
precisely nothing. And I could not be more excited about it. We may wrap up warm and go find some conkers, we may ride our bikes, we may just sit on our bottoms and watch Disney films for 48 hours. This Mama needs some serious TLC to get over this lurgy... and this bottle of gin is going to be a BIG part of it!
And that's my What's Up Wednesday for this year ;-)
Please leave me some book/TV boxsets recommendations in the comments below and I shall see you on Friday xx
I can't wait for Winter Storms! I love reading Elin's books during summer and christmas time. Not sure what you're interests are as far as books go, but I've been telling everyone to read The Nightingale. A touching story about sisters in France during WW II. Hope you're having a great weekend :-)
