1. Heated the oven to 200 degrees
2. Peeled and diced the carrots and parsnips
3. Put into a roasting tin added salt and pepper and put in the oven for 25mins
4. Meanwhile I chopped up the onion [TEARS]
5. heated a little oil in a saucepan added the onions and thyme to brown off
6. After the 25mins I took out the roast carrots and parsnips mixed them in with the onions and thyme

Tilda In The Kitchen

I am not really great in the kitchen, but I do give it a good go!

After joining BritMums and having a nose through some of the bloggers blogs, I notice many like to cook and share their recipes. So I thought I'd give it ago..

I'm planning on making a soup once a week or so...

Week 26

13 weeks and 5 days until our due date. April is coming around way too fast!

Me and papa newt are excited but nervous at the same time! Baby Newt is our first, so mixed emotions is normal at this point right?

Over the past few weeks I have started to look into what we really need to get for our bambino. Some items will be handed down to us. Which we are very grateful for! Bedding, travel system and other bits and bobs we will be purchasing new, most other items we have been given. Thank You!!
