Hey everyone! I’m so happy to welcome Friday back today—are you the same? It always feels like Friday is an eternity away when the alarm goes off on Monday morning, but then the week flies by so fast! And here we are again, ready to share a recap of the week and some favourites that make life más bueno. Thanks so much for being here!
It’s always a great start to the week when our favourite casual teacher comes to work—and it’s not just because she brings us snacks!
That super germ that took me down also hit two of our usual lovely staff members. Thankfully, we were all back by the end of the week. Our energy levels are still a bit low as we recover, but I think we’re all on the mend.
I made our favourite guacamole for our Tuesday night burrito bowls.
Along with some Mexican Street Corn Salad.
My family loves some Mexican food on a Tuesday or any other day of the week too!
Our preschool children went on a Book Week parade excursion to a local primary school. As expected, the kids were extra excited and couldn’t wait for the bus ride. I think that’s always the highlight of any excursion! It makes me wonder if we should just hire a bus and go round and round—maybe the kids would even fall asleep, haha.
The school entrance was all colourfully decorated.
The children watched as each grade took turns parading their costumes around the playground. When it was our turn they had a blast high-fiving the big school kids as they walked around. It was very cute!
The school provided us with a delicious morning tea of sandwiches and cupcakes. We were famished and everything was so tasty—it was practically all gone in 60 seconds!
As fun as excursions are for the kids, it’s always a relief when we’re all safely back on the bus and everyone is accounted for. My group was the first on the bus, so we got the back seats to ourselves. Hooray, we made it!
I’ve discovered Oust, and I love the smell. It’s much nicer than Glen 20, which has such a strong scent that you can even taste it in the back of your throat after spraying. The only downside is that I can’t find Oust at the regular supermarket. I have to order it online from Officeworks and do click and collect to avoid paying postage, which costs as much as a can.
Onto some cleaning products. I’ve found a simple way to cut down on plastic packaging: Bath and Shower refills. It’s a great way to reuse the bottles you already have instead of buying new ones all the time. Plus, it’s better for the planet and my wallet. Win-win!
Same thing with this laundry refill.
I never buy frozen yoghurt, but a few online shopping deliveries ago, I ended up with part of someone else’s order. They have great taste—we all tried it and loved it. Once we finish this small tub, we’ll definitely be buying it again. It’s perfect with pancakes because it’s lighter than ice cream and has a delicious, mild coconut flavour. If you love berries and coconut, this one’s a winner!
It has been incredibly windy the last few days. The other day, when I was walking home from work, the wind was so strong it gave me a huge shove. I pushed on and got home safely, but there were branches and debris scattered everywhere.
I was a bit freaked out about the possibility of a branch or tree falling on me, especially since a huge tree came down at the end of my street on a windy day a couple of weeks ago. Thankfully, no one was hurt and no property was damaged because that was one huge tree!
CPR training on Thursday wasn’t exactly my favourite, especially after a long day at work. But the trainer was really nice, and we only had to do a one-hour yearly refresher course. So we were finished by 5 pm.
And that was my week, thanks for catching up with me! I hope you have a fantastic weekend ahead, and I look forward to being back here on Monday.
Linking up with Andrea and Erika
The school was decorated so cute and looked so welcoming! I am glad you were safe on your walk home. That is a huge tree and it must have been really strong winds! Enjoy your weekend and hope you continue to feel stronger.
Yikes! That IS a big tree; thankfully no one or any property was damaged. I always had a sigh of relief upon returning to the bus and making sure all my kids were accounted for too. As much as I loved field trips they could be stressful at times. That froyo sounds yummy!
Ohh! What a great teacher, bringing the snacks. I am glad you are feeling better now.
hehehe! My girls used to love school trips, the bus ride was always the best thing. It looks like all the kids had a great time.
Ahh! I love Oust! It’s the only air freshener I use in my house. I hope you can find it cheaper somewhere else.
I am glad you stayed safe in the wind.
The burrito bowl sides look so good! I hate strong wind, it is hard to walk in!
