Hi, happy Friday! I hope your week so far has been a great one.
We’ve been enjoying lots of family time and I’m also looking forward to a nice family wedding this weekend. I’m a tad nervous about mixing with people but just going to try to enjoy the day and celebrate in my sister-in-law’s joy!
I’ve kept the next weeks meals simple, as I have every week since Aurora’s birth. In September I’ll get back into meal planning from scratch but for now it’s great to have boxes turn up every 3-5 days with all our dinners already taken care of.
I love picking the meals each week and feel really grateful to be able to use this type of service to help us settle in family life as a 4.
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!
We are eating fairly healthy at the moment, so as well as our usual weekly Gousto box I’ve got a Mindful Chef box too! New customers can *get £10 off at Mindful Chef!

An easy week with lots of tasty meals will be great during the Summer holidays!
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.
