We’re back!!

Well..We are back from our extremely long holiday! 3 weeks felt like an eternity!!

Below are some of the pictures I took while we were away! We absolutely fell in love with San Francisco. (If you are ever there you must try to go to Brenda’s (A little Cafe downtown) for breakfast.)

The food, people, family, shopping- everything was amazing!photo 5 (1)photo 4 (1)photo 2 (3)photo 2 (1)photo 1 (3)photo 2 (2)photo 4photo 1 (2)photo 1 (1)photo 5photo 3 (1)photo 3photo 2photo 1

We leave for the States in a few days- So very excited!! (Not so excited about the mountain of cleaning prior to boarding though)

Apart from a 5km run tomorrow morning I don’t have much planned..I’m meeting up with my bestie (which is long overdue) but that’s about it!

I hope you have a great weekend!

A breakfast to write home about…

There is a constant battle that rages between my mind and my taste buds. Most mornings I choose to sleep in and have a quick cup of coffee rather than slaving away in the kitchen for any number of minutes that exceeds the 3.24 to make a coffee.

Don’t get me wrong I’m definitely a big breakfast advocate as long as it includes being able to sleep in and a hungry companion to consume everything right beside me (hello Public Holidays and Saturday mornings!)

I’m still recovering from the shock and awe I experienced a few weekends ago when the husband told me that my pancakes sucked… (first shock of the day)…then proceeded to make the BEST PANCAKES OF MY LIFE!! (They were seriously better than my mothers)….

I felt like I had just walked into an iHOP and they had had a pancake making competition and I sampled the winners pancakes (which just happened to be Jamie Oliver’s)..then I was able to have a photo with him and he said something along the lines of “you wanna come over and cook a 15min meal together…okay too far..but you get the idea.... They were seriously incredible (in my defense though whenever I made pancakes I hit up the fastest and minimal-ingredient-needing recipe. I’m talking flour an egg and some milk…haha)

I’m yet to convince the husband, but here’s to hoping that he’ll whip up a few of those pancake beauties tomorrow morning!

Weekend Round-up!

Orange-Thyme-JamThis weekend we have a clean up day at the Church which should be good! (It means our renovations are due to happen anytime now!)

…Followed by a trip to Ikea! We’re re-doing our entry way (by re-doing I mean, purchasing a new Console table/Bench because we think the current influx of bugs is somehow related to the wood structure near the door at the moment..I hope this works!). Tomorrow night I’m going to try my hand at making pretzels as well! This pretzel recipe makes it look so easy!

I hope you have a fantastic weekend and I’ll catch you on Monday!
