Hello, Happy Friday! My FINAL work day before school holidays starts is here. I can’t believe this time has already come. I know before I know it September will be here and Thomas will be going back to work. It’s been lovely having him home for months, but it will be nice to have a little one on one time with Aurora when Daisy is at school too, so I’m trying to look at the positives!
I’m looking forward to having lots of time with my family during the Summer Holidays and going on some adventures too. Have you got much planned?
For the month of July we are Gousto boxes again. I shared on my Instagram a while ago that new customers can get 4 meals for 2 adults for just £14 with my *Gousto referral link and it was VERY popular! I received a nice amount of credit, and will be fortunate enough to receive free boxes for another month or so yet!
I’m loving not having to do much besides select my meal for the week. My weekly food shop has almost halved as I’m not buying loads of sweet treats and side dishes to go alongside the meal and I’ve lost a little weight as a result too. Win win!

I love to cook from scratch and Gousto has reallllllly helped me rediscover my love for cooking wholesome, delicious family meals. Having just recovered from a c-section, and hyperemesis pregnancy, it is fair to say cooking was NOT something high up my priorities.
Routine is key in our home, and helps us all to feel mentally well, and like we are achieving things each day, even during busier times.
Each week other lovely bloggers link up their meal plans, to try and share recipes around with one another, inspire each other and hopefully drive a little bit of extra traffic too! I really enjoy running this linky and seeing what meals everyone is cooking that week.

We still have a few days before the school holidays start here. We are so ready for them. We don't have any plans at all. We have 3 birthdays and school uniform to buy so whatever we do, do will have to be cheap. hehehe Fab meal plan! All the Gousto meals sound so good. x

That's annoying! Did you reach out to them? I just used the app to complain, and it did the credits automatically, then one week they put our box back a day and credited us a whole days money. I think that was the first time that happened, as before they just said sorry and it was tough luck, but maybe once it's happened a few times they pay up?! Have a good time when you go away though! x

Oooh enjoy the summer holidays ! Loving the sound of all your dishes. The veggie lasagne sounds like something that might go down well here too so I'll have to give that a go :)
