Our Trip to Windsor

Last week, we went to Windsor (just outside of Sydney) for a mini-break to celebrate Rob's birthday. We had a great time exploring the town and hanging out with the little man.

Gone are the days of couples massages and fancy candle-lit dinners but we did find time for a little romance. While James slept, we took advantage of our room spa and relaxed with strawberries and champers (mmmm).

We spent the next day playing tennis, shopping in town and going swimming. We stayed at the beautiful Sebel Hawkesbury Resort, which was so handy with a baby as it had all the amenities we needed (including restaurants, a pool, day spa etc). The staff were great too and provided us with a cot, highchair and microwave (to heat up James' solids).

I think we're getting the hang of the whole "travelling with a baby" thing, although the thought of bringing James on a plane terrifies me!

Overnight Paleo Bircher Recipe

It sounds a bit odd but it's sooo delicious!!

Not only that but it's super healthy (packed with protein, omega-3 fats, vitamin A, E, D and B, calcium, zinc, magnesium and more), plus it's easy peasy to make!



All you need is..
2 tbs LSA meal (ground linseed, sunflower and almond kernels)
1 tbs almond meal
1 tbs shredded coconut
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp natvia
1 cup almond milk
small handful of frozen (or fresh) blueberries
small handful of frozen (or fresh) strawberries



Then just follow these 4 simple steps -
1. Combine LSA meal, almond meal, coconut, cinnamon and natvia in jar/container/bowl.
2. Put blueberries and strawberries on top of the dry ingredients.
3. Pour almond milk in and mix all ingredients together.
4. Store in the fridge overnight and eat in the morning!
(or eat straight away if you're using fresh fruit)

Simple. As. That.



Let me know if you try it and what you think?

Updated Hair!

I can't believe this is the first hair cut and colour I've had since James was born! :O My hair feels so light and fresh!

As you know I'm trying to grow my hair long again and go back to my natural colour (dark blonde). My regrowth was starting to get out of control though and was looking super obvious..

Before


Yucko! Not only was my regrowth horrendous but my hair was super frizzy too! To fix my  regrowth, the hairdresser put foils at the front of my hair and underneath at different lengths to help blend it out a bit.



What do you guys think?
