Country Holiday

 

It seems we've had the best of both worlds this holiday... The beach before Christmas and just last week, the country. We soaked up the fresh country air and braved the heat wave, bushwalking, sightseeing and swimming, to find beautiful views at Mt French, serenity at Lake Moogerah and breathtaking sunsets at Boonah.

Friday Love

Today I am grateful for...
*A house to myself (and a very quiet baby)
*A very capable man to look after my little darlings and take them to Seaworld and a sleep over at Nan and Pop's house
*Florence and the Machine and a vintage record player
*Plenty of pretty fabrics to sew dresses with after a trip to Spotlight with my girls (Poppy has put me to work again)
*Long phone calls and friends who make them seem short

What are you grateful for today? I hope your day was rad too and blessings keep coming your way! x

Friday Love

Today I am grateful for...
*Joyce Myer on tellie at 5am
*a 2 year old dancing to 80's music... like they did in the 80's
*slow cooked chicken casserole and a rice cooker
*a cold afternoon to enjoy it and a mother in-law who took over cooking it when I was torn in 3 different directions!
*a husband who is teaching tap and assisting costume changes in the pre bedtime production to the music of Vegietales in the girl's bedroom
*a sleeping baby who always manages to wriggle his way out of my wraps into a star fish position!
*rain
I hope your Friday was full of joy and love and laughter. Happy New Year. x

Life's a Beach

We have been away on a family holiday at the beach on the North Coast of New South Wales. Although miserable weather was predicted, it turned out perfect, lots of cloud coverage for exploring and relaxing and plenty of sunny days for swimming. The kids were inseparable from their cousins whom they adore! But when they weren't loving each other to bits they were exploring, collecting, jumping over white wash, being chased by waves, sleeping in daddy's arms and 'experiencing' sand.

Why is barbed wire, rust, decayed wood, peeling paint and old bricks so aesthetically pleasing to me? hehehe.
