Inspired by Kahurangi from xox Bubbles, I wanted to jump on the Taking Stock bandwagon and share what’s going on in my life right now. You get to look into my wardrobe all the time but not so much what’s going on in my life, and I know a few of you mentioned in my reader survey that you wanted a bit more about what I’m up to on the daily, so here you go! If you want me to expand on something, leave a comment below and I’ll do my best to answer.

What have you been up to? Pick five of these prompts and let me know!
That cha seed pudding sounds amazing! I just found a packet of chia seeds hidden away in our cupboard, so I will definitely have to find a recipe, and give one a sometime 🙂
Also, snoods are THE BEST. I need to get a new one, I wear mine all the time in winter, but I’ve had this one for three years almost? And it’s falling apart :/
Yum that strawberry chia pudding sounds good. I just made a peanut butter and chocolate version for breakfast … nom nom nom.
My five:
Reading – Written In My Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon (I’m Outlander obsessed and gutted the first season has finished)
Wishing – I had more funds for gorgeous winter clothes!
Needing – to go to the toilet
Wearing – my PJs!
Marvelling – at my gorgeous daughter, who delights and amazes me every day
OMG peanut butter and chocolate chia pudding sounds amazing. I am going to have to give that a go! Thanks for sharing your five – I love the Outlander series and have re-read the books so many times. I can’t wait for season two to come on!!!
Oh man, I loved the movie of The Book Thief. I should really ready the book. I hope you enjoy it!
That’s why I’m reading it – the film was brilliant wasn’t it?
Great book! One of my faves. Are you enjoying it?
That onesie is super cute!
Everyone needs naps – naps are a passion of mine haha
Yea give up the processed sugar. You will wonder why you didn’t sooner. It’s so addictive!

I haven’t read enough of The Book Thief to tell whether I like it or not yet, but I loved the film so I’m sure the book will be awesome! The onesie is so warm, and it has wings and a tail hehe.
The book is one of my favourites ever! I wept reading it.
I’ll make sure I have my tissues at the ready!
Do you have a link to a recipe for the strawberry chia pudding Meagan? I did try making chia pudding once last year but it was an epic, epic fail.
Sorry Sophie, I made it up and I don’t usually measure when I cook! I think it was about a cup of chia seeds, a tin of coconut cream, half a tablespoon of honey, half a cup of shredded coconut and one and a half cups of frozen strawberries. Makes enough for 8-10 people (or more, or less, depending on your serving sizes).
