Cluckiness

I am in love with rockers and gliders in nurseries. When we get to decorate a nursery for our little people I am definitely putting one in. These are my favourites.

Plus having a chair in the nursery is just another place to put a super cute and adorable cushion. You can find all these chairs at www.tottini.com

Mothers Day

Mothers was day was busy for us as we tried to squish both families into the one day. It was exhausting but as always worth the extra effort. I am so grateful for both our mums and have so much love for both of them. My mum has always managed to be my mother when I need one and my best friend when I need one and by doing this she is such an example. There is so much I have learnt from my mum that I can not wait to put to the test within my own family when they come along. 

I also took mothers day as an opportunity to give Daniel a heads up on everything I want to happen when I am a mum on mothers day including breakfast in bed…..

I hope all the mums and future mums had a wonderful day. 

Two.

Last Monday was our two year wedding anniversary. We had a yummy dinner at home on our anniversary and then on Saturday night we went out to dinner to an amazing Japanese restaurant that our friends had recommended. When I say amazing I mean incredibly amazing. We love Japanese food so we had high hopes and let me tell you, we were not left disappointed. It was beautiful. It was such a nice night. We rarely get dressed up and go on nice romantic dates these days. I think I really want to get back into that. We ended the night with a tub EACH of Ben & Jerrys. Yum, so glad they sell this in Australia now! To top it all off Daniel surprised me with the most beautiful dress ring that I have been wanting for so long. I am in love and was very sad to say see you later to it while it gets resized. Don’t worry I snuck a few shots before they took it away. 

I will try to hold back on the sappiness but I have to tell you how much I love my husband. He is so much more then just my best friend. I am so grateful to be his wife and so grateful that I am lucky enough to experience this amazing event that love is. Everyday is worth it when I know I get to come home to everything that he is. I love him. 

Furry Friday

It is really strange for me to say this but I am loving the fur look this feels like winter autumn. I am absolutely not a fur person but right now I desperately want all of the above. It must be the cold air making my personality change slightly. I literally want all of these things, right now!

1. / 2. / 3. / 4. / 5. / 6.

Happy Friday.

This was a good week. And so was last weekend for that matter. Daniel went away with my brothers and cousin for a weekend of surfing so my sister came over and kept me company. We watched two seasons of the TV show GREEK (Is college in the US really like that?), we went shopping and cut our trip short as we were spending too much! It was loads of fun but I was extremely happy when Daniel finally came home! Three nights away is three nights too many. On top of everything it was our two year wedding anniversary on Monday. So I made a yummy dinner and I just have to share the recipe with you for it - Beetroot Couscous because it was seriously amazing…yum! We are going out to dinner tomorrow night to celebrate officially so check back later for more anniversary details. I am also very excited nervous as I have made my first acupuncture appointment. I have heard great things about it so my fingers are crossed it will do me some good. Once I get over the whole thought of acupuncture I am sure I will be fine. This Sunday is also mothers day so we get to catch up with both sides of the family which will definitely make for a busy but good day. 

Anyway, I will be back later today with some Friday Favourites but in the mean time here is the recipe for my scrumptious anniversary dinner. 

Beetroot Couscous (serves 4)

1 cup vegetable stock

1 cup couscous

2 tbs olive oil

1 red onion, thinly sliced

2 tbs each balsamic vinegar & lemon juice

450g can baby beets, (drained), cut into 2cm cubes

1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley, plus extra whole leaves to garnish

Bring stock to the boil in a pan. Remove from heat, then slowly stir in couscous. Cover with a tea towel, stand for 5 minutes, then fluff grains with a fork.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frypan over medium-low heat. Cook onion for 10 minutes, stirring, until softened and just starting to caramelise. Stir in vinegar, juice, beets and parsley. Season, then stir through couscous. Serve with extra parsley.

Remember Me?

Life has been a little a lot busy of late. I am looking forward to 3pm tomorrow when my working week is done and dusted and I can enjoy the weekend. Daniel is going away with my brothers and cousins to the beach house for a surfing weekend so my sister is coming to stay and we are going to have a super girly weekend...with a little shopping. Shhh.

Until I have more time to update you on life here are a few happy snaps.

Daniel dressed up for his friends 'Hair Metal' 30th birthday. 

Our first lemonade...... Ready to eat this weekend!

The start of our very first passionfruit, so looking forward to these babies.

It was ANZAC day so we made ANZAC cookies. Mmmmm,

There has been lots of leopard print lately.

Tupac deciding the best place to hang out is on the clean washing.
