I find that sleep can make or break you. When I've had enough sleep I feel ready to conquer anything and have so much energy that I feel I need to burn off before I can even think about going to bed. But when I'm exhausted, I just want to curl up and well.. sleep - I'm less productive, feel hungrier and definitely notice my immune system drop when I'm tired - not good with all the winter bugs coming up. I always find that I sleep so much better in hotel beds so recently I've been on a mission to make our own bed as hotel like as possible {and I've honestly been looking forward to going to bed, and waking up really refreshed, every night since!}

I haven't written many food posts on here, probably only this one or this. I just find writing about interiors or travel or our weekends a bit more fun, and pretty. My husband and I both LOVE food but blogging it just doesn't seem to happen very often, mostly because we're too starving to take photos of meals before wolfing them down, or they always seem to fill my camera with steam. However it's a post that's been requested by a few of you {hey Emily and Kayleigh} over the past couple of months so I thought with the changing seasons it would be a good time to actually sit down to write a bit more. Some of our favourite weekday dinners below, as well as the smoothie recipe that we have every single morning.

This post has been requested by a few of you and what better time to discuss fitness on the first day of most people's New Year's resolutions. If you follow me on Instagram then you'll have probably seen some of my early morning sunrise photos across the fields taken on one of my runs. I love it so much, it can definitely be a struggle to peel myself out from under a warm duvet when it's dark outside and pouring with rain in the winter but I never ever regret going for a run and always feel one hundred times better afterwards. Running, quite frankly, keeps me sane.
