Love The Little Things, Week 15

It's been a while since I joined in with butwhymummywhy's Love the Little Things, so I thought I would join in this week.

Read

 I have been reading cook books a lot over the past couple of weeks. I am really liking the Hairy Dieters books and just downloaded the next one on to my kindle. I love their recipes and I am by no means a dieter! But they are really tasty and use healthier alternative ingredients. So far, I've made their paprika chicken, chicken jalfrezi and crispy chicken (you can see a bit of a chicken theme developing here, haha). Next to try is their Ham and chicken tangle pie. I've also been making an effort to try and read more new blogs. I am really loving:

Watched

Not a lot this week. Although the step-daughter and I are still loving One Born Every Minute. She isn't with us on a Monday night, so I record it and save it for Tuesday when she stays with us. We watch it together with bags of nibbles!

Wore

Still loving my Hello Apparel Jumper from Southwood Stores. I also came across a little handmade gift store on Instagram and bought these gorgeous cermaic necklaces and the bird one matches perfectly with the jumper! The store is called Handmadelove if you want to pop along.

Heard

Not much time this week to listen to anything. Although I have downloaded this song! It's a bit cheesy, especially as was number one, but I really like it!

Made

As today is Charlie's last day with the childminder until after the Easter holidays, I made little gift bags for her and her children. I bought the cellophane bags from the pound shop of all places, but they are really cute. I filled them with bunny shaped marshmallows, Galaxy eggs and solid milk chocolate bunnies. I think they are a bit more personal than Easter eggs. I also added a cute little gift tag that I got from here, they have a range of different printables for various occasions.

As the weather has been so nice this week, it's been really good to get home after work and get out of the house. We went for a walk on the prom the other night. Charlie loves the beach and is always mesmorised by it. Although he always wants to eat the sand. He enjoyed a little rest on a bench with his Daddy here!

And lastly, I am loving the fact that today is the start of the Easter holidays for us. It means I have 16 whole days of spending quality time with my boy (and of course hubby too, as he is also off). Charlie and I are off on our own little holiday to my parents on Sunday. We are flying on our own! eek! A bit scared, but I am sure all will be fine.
