Hello and welcome to the home of Word of the Week. A nice and simple weekly linky, with everyone welcome to pop by and share. The idea of the linky is to reflect back on your past week and share it with us. It’s great if you can sum it up in a word or phrase, hence giving us your Word of the Week. My word this week is ‘fresh’ and you can read more about that below.
I’m not totally strict on using just a word or phrase. But please try to stick to the theme of summing up your week. There are not too many rules with this linky, just remember to read at least another couple of posts in the link up after adding your link. I will read and comment on all posts and tweet them out for you. I also have a Pinterest board devoted to Word of the Week and I will add posts to Mix Please add the badge below to your post so that others may find us and join in. If you comment or tweet then please use the hashtag #WotW
Word of the Week is open from 6am on Friday Morning to 12 noon on Monday. Plenty of time to join in!
If you are unfamiliar with the Word of the Week linky then please feel free to ask any questions. New linkers are always welcome, we love to hear what you have been up to in the past week.
MY WORD OF THE WEEK – Fresh
This week has been a bit of a mixed bag, but the thing that really cheered me up was this lovely bunch of fresh flowers that I received in return for a review and promotion of a competition. (do go and read about it if you have a minute.)
It feels like a fresh start is coming. The Little Man goes back to school on Monday and the girls go back for a little while on Thursday. Is it the beginning of the end?
We also had our Mindful Chef Delivery this week. I love getting a box of fresh ingredients to make something new. I’m in two minds about Mindful Chef, they are not cheap (unless you get some of the fabulous offers they do, which I do quite regularly) but it’s so convenient having the ingredients all sorted and ready for you to just chop and cook. This week we had a fish curry and a chicken with quinoa dish. I never used to like quinoa but I think I prefer to rice now.
I’ve also got a real liking for avocado. I remember watching a silly video once which became viral. It was from an American sign post where they’d put ‘fre sha voca do.’ I can’t think of avocado now without saying that way…but hey, it definitely helps you spell avocado correctly.
In other news…well, there hasn’t been much going on. The Little Man was poorly for a couple of days, then I got poorly for a couple of days, but it wasn’t anything too bad and it gave me the chance to catch up on Schitt’s Creek while relaxing in bed. We are both ok now.
Now it’s over to you, what word or phrase sums up your week this week?
Those flowers are beautiful. I love having fresh flowers in the house. The Mindful Chef kits look good – we used to get Hello Fresh ones and it was handy to have all the ingredients sorted and ready. Now we just use the recipe cards. I love avocado too. Glad you and Little Man are feeling better now. #WotW
I think one of the good things about Mindful Chef is that you get a weekly book with all of the recipes in, so you can buy more ingredients and try other recipes. It’s not as convenient but good for new ideas. I also bought the cookbook. There are only two of us in the family that like trying new things though, that’s the big issue.
Lovely flowers 🙂 the recipe box looks good too. My kids are both back on Monday (hurrah!) Glad you and Little Man are feeling better.
Oh, what beautiful colours and just the right colours for this time of year. I’ve not tried any of the recipe boxes. I can see the attraction, but they’ve always seemed expensive. I need to spot one of these fabulous offers you talk of! We did love watching Schitt’s Creek. Hope you are feeling better now.
I’ve ordered myself some flowers to come with the shopping tomorrow to brighten the house up. Yours are really pretty.
I hope it is the beginning of the end of the craziness that we’ve been through over the last year. Good luck with the return to school especially for the girls.
I love the look of the Hello Fresh meals but my family think they’re too fancy. x

What beautiful flowers. I have often looked at the food delivery boxes but I can’t work out if they are good value for money or not. We love Schitt’s Creek, we have about four left to watch and we are waiting for when we really need a boost. I hope you and your son are feeling better now #WotW
