167-172/365 Life Lately

Sorry for not popping into this space much sooner.  I have been taking my daily photos but have seemed to have lost both my enthusiasm for blogging, posting on instagram and I feel like my photos aren't inspiring.  When I first started doing this 365 project I was keen and I still am but I feel like I don't have anything different to share and I worry a little that things are a bit mundane. Here is a little peek into the mundane bits and pieces of my life, I don't mind mundane hopefully you don't either.

163,164/365 Sunset and cloudy days

I have been treating myself a little the last couple of days.  I have been using essential oils for diffusing, in body products I make and in my cleaning products also.  I have done this for a little while now and had wanted to have Vetiver in my collection.  When I saw that Perfect Potion had a limited addition Vetiver I decided to buy it and a bonus was that I got a discount with the points I collected.

And today's lunch time smoothie.  The last couple of days I have felt like having something fresh and decided to go with a smoothie. It's a bit of a concoction which includes banana, pitaya, a date, some spinach, hemp seeds, coconut, ABC nut butter and maca powder.  Do you like to have smoothies for lunch?

125/365 Date Day

It was date day for hubby and I.  We dropped off our youngest for a nice visit with her Grandmother and we took a drive to a little country town for lunch.  And what a lovely unexpected find and a delicious meal for us both to enjoy.  I hope you enjoyed your Saturday.

It was a family day today, spending time together chatting, catching up and doing lots of eating too. This stunning view from my mother in laws home, I would never tire of looking at that. Have a very happy Saturday.

97/365 Friends

I had the most wonderful day today.  My friend sent me a message the other day and said how about catching up over the holidays.  I replied back quickly by saying yes I would love that a lot.  Sometimes we to and fro a little and then we end up having the idea but never follow through.  It was funny I was only thinking of her and was going to message her to see how she was.  So when she said lets meet up I said when.  The stars aligned and we got to meet up today, it had been a while.  We had such a lovely day, just the two of us, chatting and eating and looking in a few shops.  It was so good to finally get to see each other again, I do hope we can do it again soon.

Yet another post about food but I know you like yummy lunch ideas. This was my lunch yesterday, grain bread toasted slathered with avocado topped with spinach from the garden and a boiled egg from our new hens, simple and yummo. I also gave this slice a try, simple and healthy except for the icing I put on mine and last night I made these to go with soup, big hit with almost all of us..

Miss 10 had a science expo today and made some glowing water, it was a fun morning and she was so good at telling everyone how her experiment worked.
