Five on Friday

Sharing a few of our favorite things from the week!

ONE
On days where M and I have nothing going on (or lots 'o rain fallin'), we like to bake. We made these orange lemon poppy seed muffins and they are so darn good! A little more sugar in them than I'd like for breakfast so they are more like dessert muffins. The recipe can be found here.

 

TWO
M and I met Chloe and her mom Libby at our very first Monkey Music class that we attended here in London about a week after we arrived. I still remember that day chatting with Libby, being excited to have met a new mommy in our new country. They are our friends that live the closest to us so it's easy and fun to get together for play dates or meet at our local park to play. And rumor has it that the mommies are going out on the town tonight!


With Davis gone this week for business in the states, we met up with them for a girls dinner date on Monday. We met at their favorite noodle bar in Chelsea and M tried fried rice for the first time. Our favorite gelato place was on the way home but even in the freezing cold, toddlers don't turn down gelato.

THREE

I absolutely love my mason jar from The Mason Bar Company that I was given from my friend Erin when I began using Young Living essential oils a few months back. I have the 32 oz. size and it is helping me drink more water throughout the day as I am so very bad at that. Adding a splash of lemon essential oil makes it even better! Yes I am totally into the essential oil thing and hope to share more of that with you soon.

FOUR

Spring is just around the corner and with that comes the bunches of daffodils for £1- £3 at our local favorite Marks and Spencer. I love them around the house especially when they've lasted a full week. Pretty sure I'm going to incorporate them into M's birthday party decorations too.

FIVE

Davis was able to catch an earlier flight (while also losing his wallet...) this morning so we have a full Friday with Daddy. That makes M, Hyde and I super happy campers. Any trip back from the states involves a stash of things we cannot get here in the UK. This time it included a whole bunch of clothes for nursery for M compliments of Old Navy, Schmidt's deoderant for me (glamorous I know), and lots and lots of Annie's cheddar bunnies and boxes of mac and cheese. 

I wonder when Annie's will figure out there are huge numbers of ex-pats bringing their products back from the US and start selling them here?!

Our weekend will involve replacing lost wallet items and lost keys. Yup, I lost a pair on a walk with Hyde...I guess Davis and I both get points for losing things this week.

Cheers!
