Healthy eating has been important to me for years - but now with a new 5-month-old baby it’s a lot harder to do the things I used to, like spend hours wandering around crowded farmers markets, meal planning and cooking. 🍴 I’d never wanted to use a meal delivery service before - I thought they were overpriced, a “luxury” and unnecessary, and there were no good gluten/dairy free options. 🥑 But few weeks ago when I was having dinner with one of my close friends, she cooked us a @DinnerTwist meal in all of about 20 minutes. It was really tasty and something I’d probably cook normally myself (a coconut chicken buddha bowl). I looked into it and the meals were full of veggies, gluten-free, and the ordering/delivery side of it seemed really simple. ✨ So yesterday my first box arrived and I made the first meal in about half an hour! The second meal tonight was just as easy (although spread over a few hours because I had a cranky kid who I’m currently sleep training - lucky me!) and both times the meals turned out great... yummy, I loved that I could prep everything early then it was only 15 mins to finish off cooking, the food quality was really good, and the portions were big (both my husband and I like to eat a LOT). 🐷 And I should note: this is *not* a sponsored post. I just loved it and wanted to share! 💜 But I do have a discount code if you’re interested in trying it to get $50 off your first box. (We ordered the weekly ‘Wholesome Box’ which is only $105 to start with... very good value I think, even before the discount.) If you’d like the code just send me a PM and I’ll give it to you. 😘 #dinnertwist

My handsome little reindeer 😄❤️🎄 Merry Christmas everyone!

Morning walk along the beach 💙 Living in Edinburgh was beautiful but I sure did miss this view! While we’ve been back in Perth and staying with my in-laws, I’ve been going for long morning walks with Connor in the pram about 3-4 mornings a week. (Some weeks I’ve been every day but some weeks only once or twice 🤷🏼‍♀️) But we’re getting ready to move back into our own house now (the tenants we had while we were away moved out a few weekends ago) which is a 15-min drive (as opposed to 5-min walk) away so I’m trying to go as many mornings as possible now to soak it all up!

Definitely one of those days today! ☕️ Connor was 4 months on Friday and he’s still waking up 3-4 times a night 😭 (Only feeding once though.) I’m going to start some gentle sleep training soon to try and get that down to ideally just 1 (or none?!). He goes to bed at 7.30pm easily though and naps great during the day (usually 2 x 90mins and 2 x 45mins), so it’s just the *staying asleep* part I want to work on. I think it will mostly come down to getting rid of his dummy so he can learn to put himself back to sleep without it. Considering going cold turkey which will no doubt be painful for at least a few days 😵😴 Wish me luck!

Brunch at @theshorehouse for the second weekend in a row 👌🏼 Just delish ✨

This guy! 😍 #babyConnor #2monthsold His faces just kill me. He’s so freaking adorable. I could spend hours just looking at him 💜

So yup we’re back in Perth 😍🌲 Our new family of 3 moved moved back from Edinburgh to our hometown in mid-September. I already miss the people in Scotland - we made some amazing friendships in our 2 years there - but it was definitely the right time to come back and I couldn’t be happier. Especially when we get to go for walks like this every day... Matilda Bay you are very beautiful indeed 🌲🌿

First cut and colour in 2 years! I really should look after my hair more 😬💇🏼‍♀️ 〰️ P.S. Outfit of the day: @babybjorn carrier 😄 He loves this thing! As soon as I put him in there he falls asleep almost immediately. Who needs a pram?! (Or a gym, now that he weighs almost 5kg / 11lbs! 😱)
