Where it all began… 11.06 16 ๐Ÿ’—โœจ๏ธ๐Ÿ’

Hi guys ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป

It’s our 8 year wedding anniversary today! ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’

In August 2015, we started planning our wedding, and that is when I began ‘Roseanne’s blog’ to document our wedding planning & the big day!

So, heres a little look at our wonderful day ๐Ÿฅน



Some of my favourite things about our wedding day that we planned were:

โ€ขThe venue – it was a converted barn that was beautiful, and we both fell in love with it the first time we visited. We just got this feeling that this was the place โ™ก I loved the incorporation of all the old features of the barn in the venue, as well as the two separate rooms for the ceremony and reception. It was just perfect.

โ€ขThe Colour scheme. My two favourite colours and I just love how they look together in all aspects from the flowers, centrepieces and decorations.

โ€ขThe people involved in our day. It was so lovely spending the day with so many loved ones. We really enjoyed having some of our favourite people for both the bride & groom parties, that we chose together, as well as those doing the readings, photos/videos (which were family & friends) It all added to the day and made it so special.

โ€ขOur geeky touches that made the wedding ‘us’ from a Middle Earth wedding breakfast to Harry Potter wedding programs and a Honeydukes sweet shop at the Reception. I just loved adding all these little personal details to our day.

โ€ขOur Italian inspired food (Pizza & antipast!!) including our cake with authentic Italian decorations from Venice ๐Ÿ˜

Birthday Fun ๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿ‘ฏ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

Hi guys ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป

A few weeks ago it was mine and my twin sisters’ 33rd birthday – woohoo! It actually fell on a Sunday which was the day we were actually born.


Here is how we spent our birthday weekend…

Saturday

We started off the Saturday with a delicious lunch at Revs. The sun was shining big time.

Me & Sarah (along with my husband Tim) met our friend Dan there.

Me & Sarah shared some delicious picky bits. The tater tots with garlic & chilli butter were INSANE. I was really impressed with all of the food and I’d love to go back.

We also had a bit of fun taking some photos in the photobooth โœŒ๐Ÿผ


Once Tim and Dan had gone home me and Sarah went to Boom Battle Bar. We had a round of Mini Golf and did a spot of basketball on the machines. We each had a frozen cocktail each to round off the afternoon.

We picked up some smaller picky bits on our way home from town and ate those before having a nap (because, sun โ˜€๏ธ) and then went to the cinema. We watched ‘Fall Guy’ (with Tim too!) It was really good.


Sunday

Sunday was our actual birthday, so we decided to meet up for a nice brunch and do our usual present exchange together. We went to this lovely brunch spot along the waterfront – again, the sun was shining beautifully (we got very lucky with the weather!!)

Delicious!

Once we had eaten, our respective families got together at our Mum and Dad’s to open our presents from them.

Me & Sarah also got a little spontaneous birthday present for ourselves (pic below) ๐Ÿ™ƒ

In the evening we enjoyed a nice family meal together with our older Sister, Mum, Dad, Brother in laws, Nephews, and Niece.

Here’s to year 34! Let’s see what it will bring ๐ŸŽˆโญ๏ธ


Until Next Time,

May Highlights โœจ๏ธ

Hi guys ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป

Here are my May highlights…


Promotion to the Premier League…

An absolutely unbelievable weekend, one we’ll never forget.

I can’t wait for the football season to start up again!


Our Birthday!

We had a fun birthday weekend celebrating together. We grabbed lunch and spent the day hanging out together on Saturday. Delicious picky bits at Revs in the sunshine, mini golf, cocktails, and the cinema.

On our birthday, on the Sunday we had a delicious brunch together, exchanged our presents, spent time with family and had a birthday meal with cake to round off the weekend.

Oh… and we may have got a matching tattoo on our birthday as well ๐Ÿ‘€

(See the blog post below for the inspiration)


Celebrating special birthdays with friends.

We enjoyed a bottomless brunch in the sunshine ๐ŸŒž followed by some fun and games at a local bar, including interactive darts & karaoke.


A lovely family holiday to Norfolk.

We stayed in a lovely air bnb cottage in Norfolk. We went along with my mother in law, brother in law, my husbands Auntie, Cousin, and Grandad. We had a lovely time chilling out, cooking together, exploring nearby towns and Norwich City, walks  (weather permitting), and we even hired a boat, which was a highlight!

& I saw some bats, which was epic.


Going to see Take That live!

I will always love seeing Take That live! No one does it better. I can’t believe that this was the 7th time I’ve seen them love!!


Another fun month! And we are almost halfway through the year!!! Madness.


Until Next Time,

A fun, bookish haul ๐Ÿ“š

Hi guys ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป

I thought I would share some cool little bookish things that I recently bought.

They are just some fun, useful little bits that are perfect if you are a bookworm like me!

Let’s take a look!


A cute ‘Welcome to the library’ sign to go by the reading corner.
A reading light that sits across the page of your book.
Fun little reading lists to keep a track of the books you’ve read and your rating for each one.
A coin that says ‘One more chapter’ on one side and ‘Go to bed’ on the otherside. I’m pretty sure it’s weightless to the ‘One more chapter side’ ๐Ÿคฃ
Some cute little book inspired stickers.

These were bought on both Amazon & Temu.

March highlights โœจ๏ธ

Hi guys ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป

Here are my March highlights…


We celebrated ‘World Book Day’ at work – I dressed up as Harry Potter โšก๏ธ

We celebrated my Uni friends’ baby shower this month, too!! It was lovely to celebrate and catch up.
WE FINALLY HAVE NEW FLOORING AND WERE ABLE TO MOVE BACK INTO OUR HOME !!

& finally,

We watched Mark Watson, the comedian in our hometown. I bought these tickets for my husband, for Christmas! He has seen Mark Watson a few times and really enjoys his comedy. I myself hadn’t seen him live before but he was very funny and I would definitely watch him live again. We got to meet him afterwards, too, and get a signed copy of his book.

What’s been your February Highlight?

Easter Chocolate Bark ๐Ÿซ๐ŸŒท๐Ÿฃ

Hi guys!

I’ve always enjoyed doing a few ‘baking’ recipes on here, every now and then, particularly at Easter time.

All that delicious Easter chocolate in the shops or that you may receive can be put to good use by yourself or your small people – it’s super easy and great fun too!


So what is Easter Bark you say? 

Well it’s shards of decorated chocolate.


And here’s how it’s done (by us anyway)

Ingredients

  • X2 large bars of Milk Chocolate
  • X2 large bars of white chocolate
  • Sprinkles
  • A selection of your favourite Easter chocolates to adorn

Recipe

Prep a baking tray with a lining of baking parchment, make sure it covers the sides of your baking tray a little too, not just the bottom.

Melt your different chocolates (we went for milk and white for the kids – dark would also be delicious) in separate bowls over water (or in the microwave)

When the chocolate that you wish to have as your base is ready (ours was milk), pour that into the baking sheet and spread out so it covers the bottom in an even layer. Don’t spread it too thin.

Drizzle over the other chocolate/s that you’ve melted (our white chocolate) either yourself or the children need a cocktail skewer to swirl the chocolate carefully to create the marbled effect.

Adorn with your sprinkles and chosen Easter Chocolate, trying to evenly distribute it throughout.

Pop into the fridge (or freezer if you are impatient like us!! ๐Ÿ˜‚)

Once it is fully solidified, break it up into shards and ENJOY!


Super easy, fun & delicious! Perfect for occupying the kids this Easter hols – my nephews and niece loved it (especially the eating part!)

Happy Easter Weekend

February Highlights โœจ๏ธ

Hi guys ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป

Well, that month flew by, didn’t it!

Here are my February highlights…


We started back doing our Parkruns this month! Happy with my time of 34.01 – here’s to getting back to it again ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ

Me and my twin sister Sarah organised our bestfriends baby shower. It went really well and everyone had a great time! Lots of delicious food, fun games, presents and laughs ๐Ÿ‘ถ

Pancake day! One of the best days in Feb ๐Ÿฅž I managed to have two pancake meals, haha.

We celebrated Valentines Day this year with our traditional meal to a local Turkish restaurant. It was delicious as always.

As you may have see from my previous holiblog post, we went to Northern Italy for the Feb half term. It was brilliant. We did Verona, Lake Garda, Milan & Venice (again!)

We had a brilliant time, there was so much to see and it was beautiful. We were also mostly, pretty lucky with the weather.

Another great Italy adventure
