So MissC was picked up late from Daycare and she was grumpy and exhausted! 

And all she wanted ‘Nuggets and Chippppppieeeessss’ as a takeaway..

So I created this simple yet satisfying ‘takeaway meal’:

Chicken Nuggets and Potato Gems with Mayo dipdip – in a medicine cup.


She was a very happy little girl!!

What takeaways do you re-create at home?

MissC was playing with playdough before lunch, making balls and then stacking them on top of each other to make towers..

So we incorporated this into her lunch today.

Peanut Butter towers (using 3 flower shaped cutters), Cheese, Celery with Mayo and 2 heart shaped mini cookies (fresh out of the oven!)

See Part 1 of the Honeymoon – .


Saturday:
We had an early start.. purely because we get up early with the lil squirts and never sleep in.. I actually found it hard to sleep past 7am.. so i got up and sat in the lounge until sleepyhead Drew was awake..


Drew always has cereal for breakfast
I enjoy a cooked breakfast when I can!
minus the carbs :(
spoilt myself for 2nds of smoked salmon and mozzarella with tomatoes and balsmaic vinegar!!
The swimming pool looked gorgeous but a lil too cold to swim! 
The top bar area had a lovely water feature overlooking the pool and the ocean.
Drew made this photo look cool (so he said!)



He thought I was taking a photo of as bottom.. ok so I was..
we’re on our honeymoon!
Look who paid us a visit at 9am on our Honeymoon!
Someone *IT WAS DREW!!!* forgot to turn off the lights and the Sat Nav
And nope I am never going to let this one go – it was all Drew’s fault and he will never live it down!
Drive through Margaret River past our favourite pub/hotel
My friend Asher (who lived with me in the UK) use to be the manager here.
Our favourite honey meadery
Having a Cowaramup Brewery tasting
Drew decided he wanted to collect the big jugs 
Nope I didn’t drink any of these.. Responsible driver
(unlike husband who left the lights on and we had to call the RAC!)
Uhmm it was actually a REALLY yummy bbq pizza!!!
I am eating an Emu
Cheeky Monkey Brewery
Cheeky Monkey Beer and Cider
Newest brewery in Margaret River



House of Cards – Yup I am pigeon-toed
Relaxing with a Ruski and cheese n biscuits

You can see Part 2  - after you read this one!

A while ago I won a 2 night stay at Quay West Resort in Bunker Bay. 
Drew and I used it this weekend as our Honeymoon! 

It has been the first time away from the children for more than 12 hours!! 
And boy was it one amazing weekend!! 

5 star Resort, complete with golf buggies to transport you around (no cars allowed!), Gnomesville, Chocolate factories (yes two!!), Wineries, Breweries, Meadery and Olive Oil farms and a visit from the RAC!

Now while I am writing this.. I am enjoying Margs River chocolate and an oldschool Ruski! :)

MissC went to daycare early and I dropped MasterS off at my parents (Nanna and Grampy) house so we could get an early start..


Cones!
