My week in instagram ...


I want to start a new weekly post of things that I get up to during the week. I don't suppose you want to continuously hear about weddings, weddings, and even more wedding stuff if you are single or even already married ! I mean how boring is that I am sure most of you would agree ! 


I do like to do other things like decorating, getting crafty, baking and styling parties (that you already know !), oh and health is another hobby of mine. I have been known to be a bit of a health nut in the past lol but I can assure you that although I am still pretty healthy my weird eating habits have somewhat balanced out and am back to being considered fairly normal again ! At least I hope so ??? lol ...


So what have I been up to this week ?

First things first I have to warn you that although I am 30 I am still a big kid at heart so when the rain appeared on tuesday, wednesday, thursday and yes friday what better things did I have to do other than jump in puddles and splish splash around like some mad old hatter, urm nada ... nothing ! Yes I love it and who wouldn't in these delightful welly boots?! I heart Cath Kidston so much she rocks big time.

Now while I love the rain when I am at home, I don't like it when I am at work looking after children it depresses me, literally. The children are so friggin exhausting when they can't be let loose outside. I go stir crazy and the kids are about to throttle each other. So I have had to rack my brains this week of things to do and my old favourite cropped up ... baking ! Oh and it must MUST be a recipe from the Primrose Bakery recipe book ... every page is just so pretty to look at it puts a great smile on my face and the smell of biscuits and cupcakes baking in the oven .... delish yum yum the house always smells so divine afterwards ! I could bake all day if I was allowed to .... is anyone willing to come round to my flat to help me eat it all ?! I promise if you did visit me there would be lots of fresh food mostly Mediterranean meats, cheeses and bruschettas to help keep the savoury tooth also satisfied. I love fresh food and yes the less cooked the better for me anyhow. This bruschetta I made last Sunday was just to die for not sure my fiance though appreciated the garlicky smell afterwards oops !   

The other thing that I have a weakness for are sweets and when I discovered the cutest of little tea rooms in Crouch End this week I just could not believe my luck, there were adorable tea cups and saucers, beautiful illustrations created by artists from the local community and sweets .... yes sweets HEAVEN ! I must state though I behaved myself and kept my distance choosing a healthy tea and a not so heatlhy pain au chocolat ... satisfied with that I made a quick dash for the door with a screeching toodler in tow demanding I 'buy the sweeties, buy the sweeties Chrissi' was like a bloody evil voice in the head ... please Catherine they are not at all good for you they rot the teeth and send you a little bonkers (hope you are listening Chrissi !).

And there you have it my week ! Hope you like the pictures my instagram photos can be viewed here christianaholt. Enjoy ...

I love this idea, it is always fun to get to know bloggers more personally. THanks for sharing! And I love your save the date ideas, although we went the cheapest route possible and skipped them all together :)

First of all... I want your boots! Second, I totally agree with the rain... when i'm home all day I am all for a rainy and stormy day, but I hate having to leave the house.
