Wish I could keep it up all year 🌼 House full of people

Early anniversary celebration with @hashmil. ❤️ D Early anniversary celebration with @hashmil. ❤️Did a bit of forward planning as our anniversary is during Ramadan this year, and had the best time at @jumeirahgroup.Had a little late night swim before we headed to Olio Trattoria where we were absolutely blown away by Chef @emanuele.saracino’s flavours - honestly, absolutely speechless. We had all the lols, made H question why he was married to me during his insta husband duties, slept in while Nael was with my parents at home, missed him loads (the mum guilt REALLY kicked in!) and everything in between. 🍹☀️💝🌊✨🍲🏊‍♀️🌴

January highlights. ♥️ ✨Nael constantly wondering January highlights. ♥️✨Nael constantly wondering why I want to kiss him all the time✨Coldest day EVER at -7 (I will be complaining with equal disdain when it’s 40 degrees in the summer)✨ Really don’t know why we can’t take a decent mummy-son photo. Clearly I’m not meant to live my insta-mum life 🫠✨ Little shopping and lunch date with @hashmil at Seven Dials (they also have the *best* charcoal coconut soft serve!)✨More baby photos because I’m a parent now and that’s what my photo album consists of✨ Pizza & burrata pick me up after a somewhat shitty anxiety-inducing day. Also ended up spending money I don’t have on things I don’t need… #retailtherapy?✨Another market adventure where we found the best (albeit v expensive) white truffle oil and Turkish delights 🤤✨ My heart 🥰 (see what I mean about the endless kissing 🙃)✨ Was so excited to see all the deer before my bubble burst when I found out that they’re shot/hunted to avoid overpopulation fml✨ Great food and great company (almost unwillingly ended up at Tottenham Court Road IYKYK)

But in my defence, the Wilton piping nozzle thoroughly disappointed me (lockdown meant I couldn’t get an alternative in time) and with 30 mins to midnight I was way past the point of caring. It was delicious and tbh Oscar is cute, soo... 💁🏽‍♀️#chocolatecake #mintchocolatechip #mintchocolatecake #baking #bake #bakersofinstagram #food #foodporn #foodie #foodphotography #foodstagram #bakingtherapy #football #soccer #footballcake #birthday #footballcakebirthday
The past couple of months have been filled with sl The past couple of months have been filled with sleepless nights as we went through endless rounds of perfecting our first @happilondon box. This included (but was not limited to) what the products would be, product design, packaging design, packaging experience, quality control, user experience of the box + each product, high level social strategy, copywriting, and who knows what else.I was so exhausted on one of the evenings that I fell asleep on the sofa and woke up at 1am to @hashmil, who’d created the mother of all Notion boards — he’s also a secret bloody amazing Project Manager amongst all his many other talents. 😳To top it off, our flat has not only been converted into a mini factory with boxes and everything you could possibly imagine (and more) spread out on every area of available floor space, but also into a make shift studio where we put professional low budget shoots to shame. (Come at me and I will show you BTS) 🙃So, it’s been A LOT. But I’ve enjoyed every single part of the process and I’m so excited to have finally shared all of the products that will be included in Decembers Winter Wonderland box. 🥰🥳&&& pre-orders will be opening v v v soon! So if you’d like a box, keep an eye on the Happi page so you can order yours! ☺️Finally, to end this novel of a posting line, I just want to show public appreciation for my saviour and hubby who continues to put up with my excruciating attention to detail and a million and one demands (I’m basically the nightmare client of dreams) — I couldn’t do anything without you, @hashmil. ❤️❤️❤️
