Our 9th Wedding Anniversary 💗

Hi guys 👋🏻

Some of you may know, some of you may not, but I started this blog when we were planning our wedding! I started it to document the lead up and planning to the big day.

So, it seems only right each year to do a little post to honour the day that inspired this blog in the first place.

The blog has evolved over the years and has more of a book focus, but this is how it all began 😊

Let’s take a look back at our special day!

I loved our pink & green theme. These are still my two favourite colours.

My bouquet still has pride of place on our dining room table, and I loved all the personal touches like our ‘Honeydukes’ sweet shop!!

We had a brilliant day with our family and friends.

And the party was pretty good too 🥳

We spent our 9th wedding anniversary enjoying a cooked brekky together before work, and exchanged our cards and pressies. Tim got me some lovely flowers 💐 😍

We had a lovely dinner at one of our favourite Italian restaurants this evening.

Happy Anniversary to us X

Until Next Time,

Roseanne 🙂

Halloween fun! 👻🦇

Hi guys 👋🏻

I love Halloween! So I thought I would share with any of my fellow Halloween fans out there, what I’ve been up to this spooky season!

Let’s take a look…

What have you been up to this Spooky Season?

Until Next Time,

Roseanne 🙂

Halloween ‘Boo baskets’ for kids 🎃

Hi guys 👋🏻🦇

October is here and that can mean only one thing!!

Halloween 🎃

I love a bit of Halloween, mainly because bats are my favourite animals, and it’s their time to shine, but also because I love a good horror film and I just love the spooky, autumn aesthetic.

Each year, I make a little Halloween hamper of sorts for my Nephews and Niece, and since the whole ‘Boo basket’ trend is going around, I thought I’d do my kids’ take on one…

Ideas for fun things to include…

Firm favourites with kids at the moment… slime! And fidget poppers. Both of these are only a few pounds in Tesco.

A cute little Halloween themed teddy. One of my nephews loves spiders, so I’m sure he will love that. Then I got the cute little pumpkin for my nievlce and the cute little frankie for my other nephew.

Some fun little cups which I’m sure they’ll get lots of use out of!

I also like to get them something to do or something crafty. These little ‘Paint your own wooden characters’ Halloween themed, of course, are from Asda for 2 (each pack has 2 characters inside!)

And finally…

Some edible goodies!

What’s Halloween without a sugar overload 😅🤣

I picked up the good old classic Freddos from Tesco in a multipack, and the Halloween chocolate lollies are from Aldi.

Fingers crossed, they will enjoy these! Hopefully, this has given you some inspiration if you fancy putting one together, too.

Happy Halloween! 🎃

Until Next Time,

Roseanne 🙂

Birthday Fun 🎂🥳👯🏼‍♀️

Hi guys 👋🏻

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 ✌🏼

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 ☀️) 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) 🙃

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 🎈⭐️

Until Next Time,

Roseanne 🙂

Easter Chocolate Bark 🍫🌷🐣

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!! 😂)

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

🌷🍫🐇🪹🐥🐑🐣🌷

Until Next Time,

Roseanne 🙂

February Highlights ✨️

Hi guys 👋🏻

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 👟

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 👶

Pancake day! One of the best days in Feb 🥞 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

🇮🇹

What’s been your February Highlight?

✨️

Here’s to a good March!

🌈

Until Next Time,

Roseanne 🙂
