One of Those Gentle Days

Evening everyone! I apologize for not posting yesterday, but I’ve been struggling for a bit lately and feeling under the weather for a bit. I saw the doctor and we are running some tests to check a few things. I’m not overly concerned, so please don’t worry about me! But a little health update for you there. And I will do my best to post every day, it’s definitely one of my goals this year.

Onward with the post!

Today, I went out bright and early to find a storage unit for rent with my mom, and thankfully we found one. It’s close by and indoor, which means climate controlled. THANK GOODNESS! Because that’s exactly what I was looking for. I will give you that little update probably in about a month or so. I got home within an hour which I was thrilled that we got that done so quickly.

When I got home, we fed Valeria breakfast which she didn’t have much of an appetite. Not really surprised since she was tossing and turning most the night and she is very much like me where she has little to no appetite the next morning when we don’t sleep. We opted to start going to our favourite butcher again at our local weekend market on the other side of town. I really missed the high-quality of his meat products and he’s reasonably priced. We hadn’t seen there in over a year, but if you what’s happened in 2025, then you understand why. He instantly recognized us and it was so nice to chat with him.

We did promise Valeria could have a surprise and she opened for a steak and onion sausage roll from the stall that the butcher’s daughters owned. Guess we did something right. That place is littered with sweet/baked good stalls and she opts for meat. That’s our girl! After we got her a roll, which was not big by the way, we stopped at the sourdough stall to grab a few loaves and a focaccia and then we were done.

We headed home, Valeria had her little sausage roll for lunch and some focaccia, which was rosemary and sea salt. Oh many, I had some as well and it hit the spot! She went down for a nap after her tummy settled and she had a wonderful nap.

We also made some baked apple fritters, which I was testing ANOTHER recipe because I can’t do fried food, but miss apple fritters every so often. I didn’t glaze this batch, but it turned out really well to be honest, so if I make these again I’ll lightly glaze them, but they were perfectly sweet on their own. If you guys are interested, please let me know!

Anthony made some burgers on the bbq even though it started to snow here, but it was perfect. The rest of the night was pretty quiet, lots of play time, bath time and nightly routine.

That’s just a glimpse into our Saturday and I hope you had a great Saturday yourself!

Have a wonderful day or night wherever you are in the world!

Ciao!!
