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! 😱)

And just like that, we were a family of three! Connor Murray William Westphal, born August 7th 💙

37 weeks!! The past two months has seriously flowwwwn by 🚀 Can’t believe I have just a couple of weeks left (or it could be any day really)! Come on baby boy, we’re ready to meet you 💙

Today we climbed Arthur’s Seat! Pretty stoked I made it to the top at 8 months pregnant 👊🏼 It wasn’t as hard as I thought, but I was going pretttty slowly towards the end 😄 . I’m just glad I can still go hiking - I had to stop doing my regular yoga/pilates classes from about 30 weeks because my bump was so big and I lost all my balance. (Imagine a drunk chicken and that’s kinda what I looked like 😂) So thank goodness I can still do something active that I really enjoy. Especially when the Scottish weather really turns it on like today - it was 23 degrees and totally glorious! ☀️

The weather’s finally warming up (well, as much as it can for a Scottish spring 😄) so I’m craving lighter meals. This is my delicious tomato and basil soup... yum. Recipe below! 🍅 1. Heat a large pot on medium heat, add a dollop of coconut oil, and sauté 2 diced onions until translucent. 2. Add 2 cloves finely chopped garlic, 1 cup basil leaves and salt and pepper to taste. 3. Add 3 tins diced tomatoes, 1T tomato paste and 1 cup vegetable stock. 4. Bring to the boil, simmer for a few minutes then take off the heat to let cool. 5. When cooled, blend thoroughly (with stick blender or transfer to a regular blender) and add coconut milk. Top with basil leaves to serve 🍃
