Bullet Point Life
The weeks have zoomed by and I find it really hard to keep up the blogging bizzo during term time, so, be prepared for a deluge over the next couple of weeks!
In the name of fertility and trying to help my body keep hold of a little growing bean, I am making a few adjustments to my diet. I saw a naturopath specialising in fertility and she has given me some things to help my body prepare a healthy lining. She also suggested I look into cutting out grains from my diet, and directed me to this fabulous website - The Petite Kitchen. Today I have tried these yummy little morsels.
And they really are quite delicious. Go here for the recipe. I did find I had to add another 1/4 Cup of prunes to make everything combine. I can't wait to try some of the other yummy things on there.
I am hoping to get a bit of R&R over the break, but not before this weekend, when I will be celebrating my 40th birthday! Eeeeeek! So this is birthday week. I love birthday week and what a better time than in the holidays when I can catch up with friends, have coffees, lunches etc. The adjustments to the diet may need to wait until next week. Hehe.
Getting a bit of reading done instead of watching TV has been really enjoyable. Although I am struggling to get into this particular book. I go to a book club and this is the latest one. I don't always enjoy their selections.
It's winter. It's cold. I love winter. I love wearing layers, scarves, gloves, funky hats. I am a hat wearer. Oh how I love rugging up and being snuggly.
Finally, I had a whirlwind visit from these two.
They came down from Wellington for 48 hours, for a wedding. The most funny thing was, I saw the proposal. I think half the world has. Well, maybe not that many, but a few thousand anyway. The lucky bride is Chris's niece.
It was so lovely to see them both. Liz left me a card that said seeing me was 'like balm to the soul' and I couldn't have put it better myself. Yay for good friends!
I hope you have all had a fabulous week. See you again a bit sooner than normal! TPxx

Hehe small world, I went to school with the bride and my parents are good friends with her parents, plus her dad is our doctor.
I actually presumed you were similar in age to me so you ARE looking smokin sister!
Looking forward to catching up this weekend :) xxx
Glad you are having a great start to the holidays. I LOVE the petite kitchen. I always make things from that website - it's awesome. Another great blog is Health Yeah - they have some awesome recipes on there.
ENjoy your two week break and creating some fun new recipes :) xx
