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?

How many cups of tea is too many? Honestly, I re How many cups of tea is too many? 

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.

Deck the Halls with Houseplants

15/12/2020      Leave a Comment

I love houseplants. I’m becoming slowly obsessed and I really want to be a great plant mum. However, I cannot keep them alive. I forget to water them, or I overwater them, I really struggle with the whole thing. Plant love isn’t just me though because festive foliage is on the rise, with our love for houseplants showing no signs of slowing down at Christmas.

Not your average garden centre, the new Christmas houseplant collection at Dobbies is a must-have addition for any indoor garden this December. As we dress homes to impress, add some stylish greenery to any room, from show-stopping centrepieces for decorative dining, to a sleek and contemporary statement orchid.

Whether you are still looking for the perfect gift for loved ones or opting to complement your Christmas tree, the versatile range has something for everyone.

Claire Bishop, Houseplant Buyer, at Dobbies said: “If you’re working from home, a festive houseplant is a lovely addition to give your desk a touch of stylish Christmas cheer. For those that like to step outside the traditional box, an ornamental pineapple plant is just the answer. Easy to look after, it brings a burst of tropical joy to any room for an eye-catching display – it’s definitely one of my favourites in the range!”


Claire has given us her top tips for which plants to pick:
– Pineapple plant (Ananas) – A member of the Bromeliad family, the Ananas will sit most happily on a sunny windowsill and needs little care with year-round foliage.
– Norfolk Pine (Araucaria Heterophylla) – The houseplant that looks like a mini Christmas tree! This plant is the perfect gift for a crafty friend or as an eco-alternative which you can keep all-year-round, as it can go outside through the summer months then bring back in at Christmas each year. Simply decorate with a set of warm white lights for a twinkling tabletop tree.
– Phalaenopsis Orchid – For orchid lovers, the ‘Moth Orchid’ or Phalaenopsis is the gift that keeps on giving. The charming flowers can appear as often as three times a year and generally last around three months. This orchid’s ability to thrive in centrally heated rooms makes it a particularly practical Christmas present. Just make sure it enjoys a night-time temperature of at least 14ºC.

What extra festive foliage are you going for this year? I think I’ll be sticking with my artificial tree for now… or maybe I’ll get a pineapple.
