Painting

I think the Glew Tea has been working with all this painting going on! For most, it would not look like much but for me it's a great achievement and the foundation for the course I'm doing. Mind u I am prepared that it may not all be right, however that is part of the process of learning! I have noticed one getting very frustrated with oneself when feeling like something is not perfect. This is certainly teaching me a great deal about myself.

It's my birthday today & my gosh mmm I'm 33! I'm enjoying my 30's I feel like it's the time everything becomes raw about yourself and it's up to you to embrace & love what you find.

My morning started with a toddler who deceided that it was party time at 3am and carried on to battle with me till 5.30am. Seriously frustrating as with my cold and need for sleep it just does not make for wanting to have an early morning tea party with the little dude! Then he slept in till 9am I had to wake him! Then he happily jumped out of my arms for daycare & not even look back! Well mmmm had a tear felt like a bad mummy for being frustrated thru night & then I thought get over it! It's your birthday so I'm at a beautiful cafe (Nuns Pool) enjoying Coffee!!! & planning out a lovely day! First thing grocery list then retail therapy list!! Thankfully I also took it upon myself to book a deep tissue massage so that will attack the tension spots & sort mummy out!!

Thanks for listening :) well reading :)
Make sure on your birthday you have just one lil or big thing booked for yourself as it will keep u on track to be about YOU. X we all need birthday nurture.....;)

Cold season

Oh oh here are the colds again.. Our lil dude first, now me! Yuk!

Thankfully we got in with our Chiro today and our little dude has had a marked improvement and I'm just heading to bed! I'm sure tomoro with good sleep I'll get my zing back!

Busy week lots of projects due so I stocked up on this great tea and it's keeping me together!!

Nite stay warm x :)

Birthdays!

Today one of my dear friends had a baby boy! How exciting!!!

Birthdays are special. I'm looking forward to turning 33 next week and I have deceided to get as many girlfriends together and celebrate! Why not! I'm also going to reflect and set myself some little goals for the next year of my life. Treat it abit like new year!

The big one is looking after myself. This week I've realised when you are run down & sleep deprived you make the wrong choices so easily and you chase your tail. So again this week and this next year of my life I am really going to stop & pause & really listen deeper & harder to what it is I need to feel balanced and nourished. Now in saying all this I've just had a herbal tea and I'm off to bed. I have an app on my phone for mindfulness mediation & I recommend it! I am going to do 10mins then drift off into a deep sleep!!

Nite x

The Sunshine & Crisp morning air!

Busy end of the week and I just sat down and realised it's Monday again! Have had a visit from one of my dearest old friends and really have enjoyed the girl time!

Her lil one is 5months and with mine it's been tag team this morning with very early rises & very tired mummy's! Now of course they have gone back to bed! Cheeky monkeys!

Yesterday we stayed in and enjoyed doing nothing as the rain was constant! It's relaxing doing nothing and with a good friend :) Today the sun is shining so time for some fresh air!

Happy Monday ;)

Surrounded by chaos!

Well there is only a so much u can fit into your day & then there is more!

Last few days have been squeezing in lots of things... I have a great deal of art school homework to fit in as I didnt have my listening ears turned on in the first place! Mmm mental note - whilst at school keep your mind there to!

Must say doing my painting at night has really chilled me out! And contributes to a good night sleep!

Had a great Pilates session & chiro today. Julieanne at Wholesome Fitness is my saving fitness & weight control guru! Now I am also lucky to have found Dr Brett Stevens at Bayside Chiropractic who is So knowledgeable and utilizes many practices to get u in order. It's a great relief to have the right people to help u get the results you need and treat the body with a wholistic & caring approach.

Best I get my house now in order so I have some room to paint!

Nite ;)

Productive Day

Busy day lots achieved! Thankfully for my energy weapon from Bodyism it kept me moving! Great products that I'll continue to talk about.

Yay! The week is now underway and my paperwork is nearly in order & some cupboards to!

Lots of little & big goals this week so time to get some serious sleep and conquer on tomorrow! Praying to the sleep angels our little dude sleeps thru to!

Look forward to sharing the week and some new finds :)

Happy Mothers Day

Wish that everyone had a special moment to take in the wonderful mother they are or have or know.

My Little Dude made me a special card at Day Care that's all I needed & what it's all about.

Had a great day catching up with a dear friend and of course playing with my Little Dude in the park!

Motherhood is a wonderful privilege. Mmmm even with sleep deprivation & & & &!! But hey you wouldn't change it!

Happy Mothers Day xxxxx

Great few days :)

Got myself into a little habit of blogging at this time of night & the other night I went out with some great gals for dinner & well poor blog got overlooked mmm for a few days...

Some highlights..our Lil dude has been much better and we have found a new local Chiropractor who specializes in Allergies & Kids. Had a very positive appt today. Will keep posted on this..

The new eating plan to re-energize and rid some wobbly bits kinda went ok but for some reason that lil switch went on (im dieting!) and aIl wanted to do was eat eat eat!! Oh well try & stick with moderation! I'm working up to a goal so when I get super serious I'll fill you in on my plan!

I had a great day at School on Thursday and realised that my brain really needs this! (especially when I had got the homework instructions so so wrong!) I'm hooked though and really excited as to what I'm going to discover & experience. Really looking forward to creating.

This weekend going to fire up the sewing machine and start to plan how I'm going to make a doona cover!

Got to catch up with some more girlfriends today. Geee girlfriends are a need! I love how we all talk a language that we just get, where we've been & where we are at.

Nite x

Good start slow finish today!

Tomorrow I have a day to myself with lots to achieve. So I will get a start on a few things tonight! Right going to get off the couch!

Nite :)

Early Birthday Prez Yipee!

Spoilt by Sue with a new sewing machine!!! Very excited...today I have been creating my new sewing area!
I'm thinking the dining room table is going to be a busy place! Lots of art work for college to get going also. Oh well the quick clear before eating will have to be the plan for now...until of course I get a bigger house! I'm putting it out there!

I actually have no sewing experience so it is certainly going to be a domestic goddess adventure! To put it lightly!

My first project is a doona cover! Any tips or patterns please share! :)

What a week :)

Lots accomplished this week. Lovely weekend with beautiful weather.

Big week ahead. Getting back into training and healthier eating choices. Need a refresh & revamp of the body!
Will share my steps along the way.

For now I have to go & get a good night sleep and be refreshed for the new week ahead.

Oh my gosh that moon is simply incredible. Wow go bathe in those moon beams!

Watching the sunset

Have u watched lately?

Oh my gosh the sunset was simply breathtaking and to coincide with my week it just reiterates how simple pleasures are just so good :)

Keeping it simple that's all I'm going to say! And enjoy your weekend :)

Looking out my kitchen window

I love this little spot in our place because I can see the day and I tend to daydream. Well especially seen as Im usually at the kitchen sink! What better place for my favorite place to be! I try and get in my zen when I'm doing my chores and just enjoy the time being with oneself! Sometimes it really is bliss...sometimes it just auto pilot and other times it's frantic! Today I'm aiming to stick with bliss.

Even more excited!

Hooray! This course is for me! The beauty of this is that it's all about discovering your creativity & no pressure to know exactly what you are going to do! I can feel already I am going to learn so much about my self on so many levels. I feel really fortunate to have this opportunity in my life now. I am really glad I've taken the plunge! I am very thankful to my husband, mother in law Sue & my aunt Anna for the great encouragement and belief in me to do this. :) xxx

So a great day, now I am celebrating with some delicious conscious chocolate. Because I just love it and any excuse really! You got to try it!
Especially with red wine!!

Looking forward to Friday and more sunshine!

Nite :)

So excited!

Made into the train, little dude happy and looking much better, dog very unhappy to be kicked out so early, car kinda in a parking slot that may not permit my time but hey it's another beautiful morning and I wanted to enjoy a coffee & croissant on the train!!
Local Cafe - Ham - delish! I noticed they are doing fundraising for leukemia today I believe it's important to give where you can. Even small change can go a long way.

So...now on a new creative adventure! Looking forward to meeting my teachers & class & getting stuck into it!

Enjoy your day wherever you may be x

Breath of fresh Air

Yay! The sun was out again today! This is heaven for me, as whilst we are trying to figure out the cause of our little dudes frequent colds no wind or major weather changes helps!

So Mitey Fresh consultant came out today and he was full of knowledge and great direction to get started. Phew my house was not as bad as I thought! However wool carpet all through the house is not helping. A few little tips I picked up were very helpful. I will put all their details up and link with their blog. To be honest I can't right now as I'm simply knackered and heading to nite! nite! Big day tomorro starting my course in foundation of design! Which I will also fill more in later!
Nite all :)

Another Magical Day :)

A goodnight sleep went down a treat & to make things better the weather was superb And it's the first day of may, for our family this is a significant time :)
Our little dude & I had a great day together and even our lovely dog got to get out and have some fun.
Another day of achievements and really enjoying simple pleasures. I'm going to share those as often we forget to marvel in these.
Firstly -our little dude woke me by chatting away in his cot. That's such a lovely sound to wake to. He also seemed alot better.
Secondly - the fact that I felt much better to!
Thirdly - a beautiful walk lovely fresh air, the sound of the ocean & a play in the park.
Fourth - good coffee from our local cafe. So good thanks Grind.
Fifth - running into some friends for a quick chat.
Sixth - finding all matching socks in a load of washing!!
And really the list could go on!
Life is so much better when we stop and revel in simple pleasures. Well that's what I find :)
I'm looking forward to meeting a Allergy Consultant tomorrow from Mitey Fresh will be very interesting.
Nite :)
