Random post, but I just fell in love with this dress when I saw it in the news!

My Week: In Pictures


This week went so fast & was so busy... lots of traveling & lots of socialising & very little spare time... these are a few images I managed to capture!

Thea's first time on Portstewart Strand {where her daddy grew up}

A traditional Irish cottage, which my husband worked on restoring!

Scents to make my home smell pretty:-)
Viola plants - in preparation for Autumn
A new skirt - £4 instead of £20 due to a missing button...love bargains ;-)

The biggest moment of the week was my baby moving into her cot-bed & us all rediscovering SLEEP :-)

Cloudy Lemonade

I have never made lemonade before & have always thought it was a complicated process - especially cloudy lemoade! I was wrong! While browsing through Nigella Express I came accross this recipe. 3 ingredients & a blender is all that is required!
I love how Nigella describes this as perfect for a summer day - This July & August we have had only summery hours rather than summery days, but even still a good drink is always welcome! ;-)

My Week: In Pictures

Although somewhat theraputic, I sometimes find it difficult to know what to post about as I don't often have the time to spend writing long drawn out pieces. The saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words, so I thought I'd try and post a few pictures of my week, every Friday.
We will see how long this lasts... but for now, it will be interesting for me to look back at what happened during the week and maybe encourage me to take more photos!

Making homemade cloudy lemonade - {Recipe here!}
A sunny day - yes we actually had sunbathing weather this week!!
A parcel through the post - I love that feeling when something you have ordered finally arrives :-) Paper Straws, Bamboo Skewers, Cotton Candy Bakers Twine all from Pipii {Check it out!}
Theas new shoes - courtesy of my friend Gayle! I love them!

I just couldn't leave this skipping rope, even though it will be years before Thea can use it - until then, I'll enjoy looking at it! :-)
