11 months of you 🧡. I can’t believe Caleb wil

11 months of you 🧡. I can’t believe Caleb will be 1 in just a months time. This year has really flown! Hoping for a much more enjoyable New Year’s Eve this year. Not that welcoming Caleb into the world wasn’t great ofc 😂, but three days of labour wasn’t my most enjoyable NYE. Memorable for sure though 😅

Just about squeezed a banana bread before the end

Just about squeezed a banana bread before the end of lockdown 2.0 😅. Might toast a slice for breakfast this morning 🤤
~
Ingredients - 3x bananas, 140g butter, 140g caster sugar, 140g self raising flour, 2 eggs, 1 tbsp cocoa powder
~
Method:
• Heat oven to 200 degrees and in a bowl mash 2 bananas.
• In a mixing bowl cream the butter and sugar together, then gently fold in the flour and mix in the eggs.
• Add the mashed bananas and mix in the cocoa powder.
• Line a loaf tin with parchment paper, spoon the banana loaf mixture into the tin. Slice the remaining banana lengthways into thin slices and place on top of the mixture.
• Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until browned. Check if the loaf is cooked by poking a skewer into the loaf. If it comes out clean its baked.
• Cool for 10 minutes in the loaf tin before removing to a wire rack. Serve warm or continue to cool. Banana bread also tastes great sliced and toasted at a later date.

A slow Saturday morning for us. Caleb has settled

A slow Saturday morning for us. Caleb has settled in so well at nursery that he’s now napping more there than he does at home. Meaning the bedtime routine went out the window last night 🙃. It wouldn’t be so bad if he slept in later, but nope. Up just like normal. Full of beans 😅.

Dare I say it’s beginning to look a lot like Chr

Dare I say it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas? ✨ I have a habit of peaking too soon 😅 so I’m really trying to reign it in until December, but I felt so festive yesterday. Maybe it was seeing the Coca Cola ad, and having my first mulled wine of the season! Either way, I’m here for it and I’m very much enjoying everyone’s Christmas decs.

(ad - pr product) You may remember that once Caleb

(ad - pr product) You may remember that once Caleb started moving around we had to part ways with our beloved trunk that we used as a coffee table. It took us a while to find a replacement - we needed something fairly narrow, as our living room is short of space. I couldn't believe my luck when I spotted this mango wood table on @iamfy. The measurements were perfect and the wood matched our dining table out of shot. With its sliding door, it also means it's great for storing breakables, like this heavenly Amira tumbler candle, plus special coffee table books that don't want sticky little hands all over them 😅. Having spent so much time at home this year, I've really enjoyed updating and styling our space differently. Have you made any upgrades to your home this year? #iamfy

That rare 30 mins of the week when the living room

That rare 30 mins of the week when the living room has been cleaned and we can see our fireplace again. It’s normally covered with cushions to stop little hands grabbing the coals 😅. We’ve been having some serious chats about a Christmas tree this year, and it’s looking less and less likely that we’ll be able to have one 😭. It’ll be only the second Christmas in my life (the first being in Australia) where I haven’t had one. And anyone that knows me knows I LOVE Christmas and am all about the Christmas tree decs. So it’s pretty upsetting to not be able to have one this year - we figure it’s not worth telling Caleb ‘no’ a million times a day, the possibility of it toppling onto him, or the thought of pine needles and decorations being stripped off it at any opportunity 🙃. Instead, I’ve been eyeing up some pretty garlands to decorate the fireplace. Need to try and make it look a little festive! (That said, if you’ve had a tree with an almost one year old, please give me your tips, and maybe I can still persuade Stew 😏🤞🏻)
