Morning Delights & Strawberry Oats + GIVEAWAY

July 29, 2014 by Amy Darcy 8 Comments

Today isn’t just any old Tuesday, today is the beginning of the end. My first day of my last semester of university. BRING IT ON! After 6 years of pain, I am very over it and perhaps even a little apprehensive at the idea of another semester of the same. Sweet strawberries with oats, coffee, cute puppies and a massage took my mind off the fact there was another semester ahead of me.

I’m looking to the end, baby. Not long now.

Recently, Uncle Toby’s sent me their new Berry Oats Quick Sachets to try* and this morning was the perfect time for a celebratory breakfast. Paired with a coffee these were hassle free oats! Pour, add milk or water to the line on the packet and microwave for 90 seconds. It was berry good indeed (Dad, you’ve got to be proud of the quality of that Dad-joke!).

I added some strawberries on top of the strawberry oats for extra sweetness! As uni picks up again and time is scarce, I’ll be pulling these time-saving oats out again. No artificial flavours or colouring. Just the way I like it.

The morning got even better by walking these two cute pups for two very dear friends, one who is away on a gruelling course with the army. Oh do I know the difficulty of looking after a puppy on your own. If you don’t know what I’m talking about read this little story of mine.

They were pretty tired by the end of it! I left them to sleep and headed off to a massage. A pretty good way to start the beginning of the end I say.

If you want to WIN a pack of 12 Honey Uncle Tobys Oats Quick Sachets, simply enter your details in the rafflecopter and leave a comment describing your dream celebratory morning PLUS more than one entry available per day, entrants can be AUSTRALIA WIDE.

*all thoughts noted herein are my own 🙂

  Porridge is wonderful in winter isn't it? and you're right those lattes also go down quite well indeed ;)

A walk by the beach, breakfast outside with my husband and then a long lazy morning reading a good book in the sun.

  I love the outdoors. The waves of the ocean I find particularly calming, which is rather ironic for something which can be so wild and dangerous at times. One thing that I dislike about Brisbane is that it takes an hour to get to the beach! How long does it take you to get there?
