Do you wanna build a snowman? ☃️ We finally g Do you wanna build a snowman? ☃️

We finally got some snow today. The girls were so excited to go out and play in it. We even managed to make a little snowman and make sure he stayed safe given the current situation.

Weekends are made for pancakes 🥞 A short stack Weekends are made for pancakes 🥞

A short stack of banana pancakes topped with berry yoghurt, @jackpotpeanutbutter  golden syrup and blueberries.

I love these as a quick and easy breakfast and it's the easiest recipe ever. 

- 1 banana
- 2 eggs 
- 3 heaped spoons of oats. 

Mix them all up and pop them in the pan. Easy! 

What's for breakfast where you are?

Another vegan burger actually, an onion bhaji burger to be precise. 

It was so good but definitely needed more mango chutney. Although, I think there's not much in life that can't be improved with a huge dollop of mango chutney. Amirite?!

Pizza is one of my favourite foods and this one is a good one. Tom made the dough from scratch and I'm not entirely sure he'll be doing that again soon 😆

Not vegan thanks to the mozzarella and goats cheese but absolutely bloody delicious.

Tulips are my favourite and these yellow ones have really made me happy the past few days. 

Don't wait for someone to buy you flowers, buy them yourself and revel in how they make you feel.

Tom outdid himself at the weekend with this vegan stack burger. He added a potato rosti, homemade burger sauce and a slice of @violife_foods It was bloody delicious. 

Were actively trying to cut our meat intake even if we're not fully committed to going completely plant based. 

Little steps right?

This is my favourite chocolate in all the world and it is using all of my willpower to not just inhale all of it immediately. 

Tom got me this little @tonyschocolonely_uk_ire selection for Christmas. I've had it hidden so no one else can have any but I finally allowed myself a bar tonight. Myself, no one else.

What snacks do you refuse to share?

I love a beer, I really miss going out for one. But drinking on school day has had to stop this year. Enter my new favourite weekday beer. @luckysaintbeer is 0.5% and blummin delicious!

Are you a beer fan? Do you have any low alcohol/alcohol free beers to recommend? Or any other recommendations?

Honestly, I reckon I have at least eight a day. I'm not too fussy when it comes to my tea but I do prefer it quite strong (stronger than this photo looks), no sugar and molten hot. Obviously, it's good if it comes with a biscuit or two too.

A Day At The Zoo

08/10/2019      Leave a Comment

*I was sent this item for review purposes. All thoughts and words are my own. If I didn’t love it I’d let you know.

Going to the zoo is one of my favourite day trips ever and it’s definitely not one that should be confined to the sunny days of the summer. In fact one year (pre-kids) Tom organised a day of fun for my birthday (which is in December) that included going to the zoo. It was brilliant. Anyway, I digress. A couple of weeks ago we took advantage of that heady combination of being off work on a Monday and the schools having gone back and took ourselves off for a trip to the zoo.

London Zoo Gates

Fun for all the family

As I’ve already said, going to the zoo is one of my favourite things to do and ZSL London Zoo is one of my favourites. Because we chose to go on a weekday during term time it was quieter which meant we didn’t have to worry about pushing the pram around big crowds. It also meant Cece could have a bit more of a say over where we went and could lead the way because we could see her. Although, we did take the buggy with us too just in case she got tired.

Little explorer

Straight to the penguins under instruction from Cece. She decided Penguin Beach was the first place to visit. I was happy with that. I love those little guys.

She was also very insistent that we checked out the lions. I think this had a lot to do with the fact she’s recently watched the Lion King and was looking for Simba.

Animal Adventures

We found the new Animal Adventure area to be the perfect place to stop for lunch. The pirate ship play area was fun for Cece to play and climb on (kid loves a slide) and there was loads of space to sit and eat a picnic or something from the kiosk. Tom and I had a couple of toasties and they were super tasty.

We timed our stop right because just as we’d finished eating there was an animal adventurers talk just about to start. Seeing the huge pigs and skippy goats toddle up to the area the talk was in from down by the petting zoo was really funny. People just didn’t expect them to be coming in through the crowd so faces were absolute pictures. It was a really interesting talk and such a good length to keep little zoo fans interested.

So much to see

That was really the only time we stopped properly all day. We must have walked for miles and miles. We still didn’t manage to see everything that London Zoo has to offer though. Even so, I was absolutely insistent that we had to visit the giraffes and the aquarium before we left. Giraffes are my favourite animals and I’ve got this thing with aquariums. I think it’s the low lighting and the relaxing atmosphere.

Back for more

Even though we were there from about 11am until closing at 5pm. I feel like there was so much more we could have explored and I’m already trying to work out when we can get back there.
