This week has raced by.

In the past 7 days I have been in Dartmouth, Dorset, Oxford, Bristol, Bristol again and on Monday I need to whizz to Cheltenham to pick up an eBay purchase.

Could someone please tell my husband that every girl needs an Annie Sloan painted duck egg blue granddaughter clock for her office?!

I have a special post to share tomorrow. A whole new blog adventure.

But for now, here are some pretty things I have photographed on my travels.

Happy Friday everyone and make sure you check back in tomorrow!

I am a big fan of Bento style lunches.

And so are my boys.

If they go to school and pre school with packets and wrapped bars instead of sweet silicone cups, they always leave something. Whereas, when I take a little extra effort to lay their lunch out in an attractive way, full of variety and colour, all I find at pick up time is empty cups.

There are lots of ideas on my Bento Babies page which you can find here, but today I thought it might be useful to take you through the portions my boys eat.

What's key to remember with small people is one portion for them is the size of their fist not ours. So a handful of grapes for example, is their handful not ours. 

It's really easy to put too much on their plates and in their lunches. Especially when packing a packed lunch full of snack bags because 3 doesn't look like a lot in the bottom of a large square lunch bag.

Here is what my boys eat on a daily basis for a packed lunch or snack tea.

I talked this through with the school nurse during Sammy's Reception year health check and she was very encouraging of my portion sizes. 

I have got some great little Bento accessories for the lead up to Christmas to stick in their lunches. I might just have to make Christmas Tree shaped sandwiches!

How do you get your small people excited about their lunch? I'd love to see! Link up your lunches people (Or snack teas!) and let's get sharing ideas. 

You can link up a photo or a blog post, so get snapping and show off your super sarnies! 

You may or may not have noticed, but I have been a little distracted this week from all things social media related.

Home and work seem to be getting in the way of blogging but with good reason.

Here was my week. 

As a family, we are going through a period of turmoil. A time when there is no certainty to put your trust in, only faith that you can support each other through whatever lies ahead.

I am so grateful for the loyal readers that check into this blog every day or read through the emails when they pop up in your inbox, and I know you won't mind if over the next week, the content may be a little sparse. I've scheduled a couple of posts and have a few adventures this week that I am looking forward to sharing next week, including my first interiors shoot for Pretty Nostalgic Magazine.

We are going through lots of changes at home and at work, all good, but all happening at once. I'll share more later this week so look out for a special #MeandMine post on the 30th.

But for now, take a minute to tell someone you adore that you love them.

My brother, who lives in America, will be celebrating Thanksgiving this weekend and more than ever, I feel so very thankful for everything and everyone I have in my life.

I found these free iPhone wallpapers you can download here that just seem perfect for life at the moment.
