Hello folks, happy Sunday – hope you are all enjoying your weekends. It’s been a pretty great week for me for a number of different reasons both professionally and personally, which has given me a real boost. Some pretty big things are happening for me right now, will share all soon! 🙂 I have got a niggling pain in my lower back at the moment though, which has meant that I have had lots of rest days from exercise this week and doing lots of yoga instead. I did however make it to my spinning class yesterday morning and it felt great to break out a sweat again.

We’ve had some gorgeous sunny mornings this week and it has put in such a summery mood. I had this lovely bowl of fresh strawberries, pineapple, 2% Greek yoghurt and seriously nutty muesli for breakfast this week. This is one of my favourite breakfasts to have in the summer – I’m dying for some warmer weather!

Seriously yum! I had the morning off work one day this week to attend a doctors appointment so had the time to make these super fluffy pancakes. I topped them with honey, 2% Greek yoghurt and strawberries. These felt like such a treat to have on a weekday. I’m really forward to pancake day on the 3rd March. I have the tough decision of deciding between crepes or American style pancakes…hmmm?

One of the best things about working from home is that I can spend a little bit longer over lunch. This spinach and cheese omelet was delicious with some steamed broccoli and salsa on the side.
It also means that I have these babies at my finger tips…

…my Banana and Coconut Mini Loaves with a mug of green tea was the perfect afternoon pick me up.

This is probably one of my favourite meals at the moment. Stir fried veggies and noodles in a ginger, garlic, honey and soy sauce topped with oven baked wild Alaskan salmon and peanuts. It’s just so quick and easy and full of flavour that it’s such a great week day meal.
I have to say that I much prefer working from home rather than going to the office, Not only do I get more work done, but the fridge is at my finger tips, I can spend more time over making lunch and I can have dinner earlier because I won’t get home late from the office. These are just a few perks that I love about the rare occasions when I get to work from home, it feels like such a lovely treat.

Do you work from home sometimes? What are your favourite perks about working from home rather that the office?
I love working from home and being able to prepare all my meals fresh is a great bonus, I dread ever having to change that!
I work from home too and I love the fact that I can make whatever I want for breakfast/lunch/snacks too haha.
I also get way more done working from home even when I work from my office (I own my own business). I also like that I have a better work/life/blog balance as I can get more done during the day and balance my time better.
Haha I’ve been eagerly anticipating pancake day too! It’s so late this year… #impatient. I’ve even started adding to a pancake board on pinterest in preparation!
It is later this year isn’t it – I wonder why?
Hay, it is pleasant to meet someone who too celebrates pancake day 😉 I prefer thin pancakes… most likely because they remind me of those times when I lived with a family. But the American option too is quite good – besides it is possible to find so many different recipes in blogs!
I love pancakes so much, yum!
I do enjoy working at home but I miss the office interaction. And I find a move round at the office more weirdly as I’m always walking to the kitchen to get a drink. Or go to the shops at lunch. But I love the fact that you can wear pjs at home!
Working in PJs is such a bonus!
I do school from home and LOVE IT! I love how I can make meals at home etc. because lets be honest… eating out of a tupperware isn’t the funnest. I also love the fact I can go to the gym in the mornings because typically by the end of the day the gym is packed full of people and It is so much harder to get in a workout!
Yes and carting tupperware around is not fun either. It can get so heavy! 🙂
OMG I can’t believe I won!! Thank you so much. Gosh I am with you regarding working from home, so much more productive, saves petrol and therefore a little bit for the environment 🙂 x
Congratulations! Could you please email with your delivery address please: celeryandcupcakes@gmail.com 🙂
Pancake day is quite soon, I didn’t realise that until you mentioned. I haven’t made any in ages, so looking forward to it!
It’s next Monday, I can’t wait! 🙂
Those pancakes look so good – I completely forgot that pancake day was so soon, this year is flying by far too fast! x
I’m really looking forward to it! 🙂
I would love to work from home- well I do in the holidays! I agree I get lots more done at home- often in the evenings I will leave work and bring my marking home, as if I stay in my classroom people come in and I get distracted, whereas if I go home I can plough through. Plus it is warm at home!
It’s weird as I thought that I would get distracted at home more, but in fact its the complete opposite. And the warmth is a bonus 🙂
