<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">It's a dreary grey day here. My big girl is tucked up on the couch dozing after having 4 teeth extracted under GA in preparation for braces in October. I've made some jelly for her dinner, lit the fire, put the washing on, tidied up and now I feel like napping too. I'm quite the fan of the nanna nap.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">I've been busily snapping blossoms like the ones above (they hang over our side fence outside the small boy's room) for a couple of weeks now. They're almost finished - the burgundy leaves (probably my least favourite colour ever) are taking over and the petals litter the streets (pretty petalfetti last week when it was sunny - a soggy mess now after all the rain).</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Spring starts tomorrow - my favourite time of the year - I'm looking forward to it.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Time for taking stock of where I'm at. </span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Making : another basket - but I'm sharing the needle with Lily (I'm teaching her to make a basket too so its slow going)<br />
Cooking : jelly and soup - soft and comforting for that poor sore-mouthed girl<br />
Drinking : cranberry and pomegranate tea (such a pretty colour) and icy cold water (straight from the tap - its freezing)<br />
Reading: an old Margaret Atwood book for book club next week<br />
Looking: at pictures of gardens and trying to decide what might be possible here</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Wanting: a gardener to help me<br />
Playing: words with friends (I'm a little obsessed)<br />
Deciding: whether to invest in the property market - its a bit scary<br />
Wishing: it was mango season - I've got a craving<br />
Enjoying: the fleeting blossom season<br />
Waiting: for my birthday (it's soon)<br />
Liking: the anticipation<br />
Wondering: what to make for dinner tonight<br />
Loving: my new wrist warmers (sent by a lovely IG friend all the way from Scilly)<br />
Pondering: why anyone would go on the Bachelor<br />
Considering: what to replace our MOG subscription with (today's the day)<br />
Buying: so many books at the Book Week fair last week (I love that they all love books)<br />
Watching: old episodes of Downton Abbey on Netflix<br />
Hoping: I find my favourite red cardie I seem to have misplaced<br />
Marvelling: at the number of unread emails on this computer - I read them on my phone and they end up on here unread but niggling at my conscience<br />
Cringing: at the state of my desk<br />
Needing: some exercise today<br />
Questioning: our nation's priorities<br />
Smelling: rain in the air<br />
Wearing: jeans and ugg boots and a cosy jumper (this office is freezing)<br />
Following: the unravel your photos gang and looking forward to my online classes which start next week<br />
Noticing: just how big my little boy is getting (too quickly)<br />
Knowing: I need to go outside and get more wood<br />
Thinking: about too many things I can do nothing about in the wee small hours of the morning<br />
Admiring: my daughters' gymnastics efforts yesterday - so proud of them both<br />
Sorting: a huge pile of doilies and linens my uncle gave me over the weekend (they were my grandmothers)<br />
Getting: excited about our holiday at the end of September<br />
Bookmarking: more recipes I'll never make<br />
Coveting: a Status Anxiety wallet I don't need (but its so pretty)<br />
Disliking: how quickly the blossoms fade<br />
Giggling: every day (lucky me)<br />
Feeling: a funny niggle in my L knee - I hope it goes away soon<br />
Snacking: oranges - can't get enough at the moment (and dark chocolate - always)<br />
Helping: out at school when I can)<br />
Hearing: the fire crackling</span></span>allyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10009232448247160974noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923203588659688051.post-46353437203972471862015-08-24T20:46:00.001+10:002015-08-24T20:46:35.790+10:00~ our joyful moments - outdoors ~<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Our theme word for July was "outdoors" and our little family spent a great deal of the month outside walking, exploring, playing soccer and gardening. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">The first photo is from Dove Lake at the Cradle Mountain National Park. We spent a few days there in the school holidays and managed a couple of great walks with the kids through some spectacular and icy wilderness (I promise I will share more photos soon!)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">The remaining photos are from our garden and the blossoms from the house opposite. The first signs of spring are always so joyous - its the time I fall in love with my camera again (and then don't know what to do with the hundreds of blossom shots).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">#ourjoyfulmoments is a photography project with a monthly theme in 2015.<a href="http://www.karinafotografi.se/?page_id=50"> Karin</a> and I share our photos weekly on Instagram and much more haphazardly here.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">A Monday mostly spent at home this month - tidying, cooking, looking after a sick child. I did lift some weight and I can already feel it in my legs.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Monday is my get everything done for the week day - its not usually a day when I stop to look around.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">It's nearly always worth pausing though.. don't you find that?</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">I have such fond memories of the last time snow fell to sea-level in Hobart - we had a day off school and the most wonderful adventures.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Today my children had their own snow day. We woke to squeals of "there's real snow outside!!" We watched the cats encounter their very first snow. We caught snowflakes on our tongues. We took the day off school. We drank way too much hot chocolate. We threw snowballs and made a very wonky, very small snow man. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">It was magical.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Making : space in my office so I can actually do some stuff not just navigate around piles of other stuff<br />
Cooking : <a href="http://www.belindajeffery.com.au/recipe0_main.html">these</a> amazing date scones by Belinda Jeffery - so good<br />
Drinking : raspberry and pomegranate infusion - so pretty and so yum<br />
Reading: some Louise Penny mysteries and also Paper Towns by John Green (which I read to discuss with Lily as she was reading it too but we haven't done that yet). My book club book is waiting for me.<br />
Wanting: a new phone (and my lovely hubby has just gone out to sort that out for me I think - total bonus as I hate navigating phone/data plans)<br />
Looking: at some videos of the girls from when they were small (it started when I went to look for one from last time we went to Cradle Mountain) and wishing I'd taken lots more videos when they were little<br />
Playing: May -I? Its a really fun card game we taught the girls when we were away (Jack can't hold enough cards yet)<br />
Deciding: that we really do need a proper gardener to help us get it all under control out there<br />
Wishing: I'd not volunteered to organise the t-towel fundraising project at school<br />
Enjoying: watching period dramas on Netflix<br />
Waiting: for the rain to stop so I can duck outside and grab some wood<br />
Liking: playing games in front of the fire<br />
Wondering: if there'll really be snow in our street on Monday as they forecast (I hope so!)<br />
Loving: the blossom trees lining the streets<br />
Pondering: where to put some more hellebores in the garden<br />
Considering: starting the mammoth project of sorting out my photos<br />
Buying: new sandshoes this week (hopefully) - mine have got holes in them<br />
Watching: Orange is the new black (I'm not sure I get it yet)<br />
Hoping: I get some more blogging done next month - this month has been a write-off<br />
Marvelling: at my big girl's organisational skills for school and complete lack of them at home<br />
Cringing: at the lame justifications for the racist and bullying booing that has been aimed at Adam Goodes recently<br />
Needing: a back massage (always!)<br />
Questioning: my parenting methods (often)<br />
Smelling: the erlicheers at my front door<br />
Wearing: stripes and jeans (my daily uniform when I'm not working)<br />
Following: a few people on Twitter (I joined this week but I'm really not sure what I'm doing)<br />
Noticing: how good Yoga makes me feel<br />
Knowing: that its worth paying for<br />
Thinking: life is short <br />
Admiring: how my neighbour's sons have dealt with her prolonged hospitalisation over the last few months. And her death this week. I was the last person to see her awake. It's made for a few quiet and low few days.<br />
Sorting: out old clothes to give away<br />
Getting: sick of the dust and dirt from the wood heater<br />
Bookmarking: recipes for yoghurty pancakes and carrot fritters<br />
Coveting: a new puffer jacket - mine has lost quite a lot of puff<br />
Disliking: when the children whine<br />
Giggling: at Jack's description of how cows and sheep have babies - "they kiss and they get into love mode and then they have a baby". Me : "what's love mode?" Jack : "its on Minecraft silly".<br />
Feeling: content (mostly)<br />
Snacking: on dark chocolate with sea salt - its my downfall<br />
Wishing: spring would come quickly - I'm ready<br />
Helping: with homework and reading<br />
Hearing: the wind making the grapefruit tree brush against the office windows</span></span>allyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10009232448247160974noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923203588659688051.post-26315475989932532682015-07-11T21:36:00.001+10:002015-07-11T22:03:31.849+10:00~ ten on ten - July 2015 ~<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">I'm managing to journal every day (in my 365 diary and doing the <a href="http://www.lifecapturedinc.com/journaling/">life:captured</a> promtpts). I'm writing post cards most days. I post on IG (mini blogging) at least once a day ... no wonder I'm struggling to find time to compose/compile real blog posts.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><a href="http://www.gramfeed.com/photographybykarina">Karin</a> and I chose books as our theme for June - lovely subject matter.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">The top photo was my current (that week) reading pile in the bedroom. I really love Kate Atkinson's turn of phrase.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Next was a flat-lay vignette style shot of my favourite book from last year that I'm currently re-reading (its fabulous but devastating).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">My next shot was my grandmother's recipe book - we were searching for her coconut and raspberry slice recipe. Its such a lovely keepsake to have - splattered with butter, annotated in parts, little notes stuck in).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">This week I found these lovely versions of some of my childhood favourite reads - they're such lovely editions. I remember reading and acting out bits of the Secret Garden over and over again with a friend.

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;">These are my photos for 10 on 10 this month (I did actually take them on the day and published a steller story that day but this is the first moment I've sat down at the big computer (oh I wish I could blog easily and well from the ipad).</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;">I had a horrible head cold and stayed home from work as I thought I'd be sicker than most (if not, all) of my patients. My shots are from round the house, doing the school and physio run that day.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;">It's definitely wintery but autumn is lingering in places (and that blossom is surely too early)</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">This is the view that greets me each morning from our kitchen. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">It grounds me (and takes my breath away)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">A familiar (and friendly) presence watching over us, our most reliable weather predictor, the beauty of our every day.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Two shots from my bedroom for weeks 20 and 21 of #ourjoyfulmoments2015 - the first is a little table in the window that is currently housing my vintage typewriter - I was sitting writing some little random postcards here the other day - my Mother's Day hyacinth was still looking good.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">The second (pink) shot is my bedside table - I found a few more Cecile Brunner roses in the tangle that is our winter garden and brought them inside - they are my very favourites.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">The last collage is of Karin's shots for the whole month of our on the table theme - can you guess she's loving spring?!!!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">June's theme is books - another favourite thing - can't wait to show you what I'm reading and loving</span></span>.allyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10009232448247160974noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923203588659688051.post-92151016376976759132015-05-26T21:58:00.000+10:002015-05-26T21:59:48.492+10:00~ taking stock - May 2015 ~<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Making : envelopes and little papery things to put in them</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Cooking : soup and more soup (and fabulous pork/beef meatballs)<br />
Drinking : one coffee a day and lots of peppermint tea (and I had my first ever espresso martini on the weekend and it was fabulous!)<br />
Reading: <a href="http://www.booktopia.com.au/search.ep?keywords=craft+for+the+soul&productType=917504">Craft for the Soul</a><br />
Wanting: to find the remote for the apple tv so I can catch up on some shows<br />
Looking: everywhere for it - where can those munchkins have hidden it?<br />
Playing: yahtzee and chinese checkers with the children<br />
Deciding: what to cook for tomorrow night - there's 10 to feed - I find that tricky on school nights<br />
Wishing: I'd got the washing off the line tonight before the frost<br />
Enjoying: evenings in front of the fire<br />
Waiting: for the 3 little apples on our tree to be ready to eat<br />
Liking: porridge with rhubarb for breakfast<br />
Wondering: if my daughter will be well enough for school tomorrow<br />
Loving: surprises in the letter box<br />
Pondering: the value (or not) this government places on primary health care<br />
Considering: buying lightroom and publisher so I can do an online course with <a href="http://life captured inc">life captured inc</a><br />
Buying: warm jumpers for the kiddies<br />
Watching: NCIS ( I really like Gibbs) and Masterchef<br />
Hoping: it doesn't rain for the cross country this week<br />
Marvelling: at the autumn colours in the streets<br />
Cringing: at our governments treatment of refugees (always)<br />
Needing: a drink of water<br />
Questioning: my willpower (the chocolate stash is strangely deplete)<br />
Smelling: that beautiful hyacinth (above) <br />
Wearing: striped skirt, black cardy and tights<br />
Following: <a href="http://www.gramfeed.com/gertgeyer">gert geyer</a> (she sent me a pretty letter this week)<br />
Noticing: how dark the mornings are<br />
Knowing: I need to exercise more<br />
Thinking: about catching up with an old friend this week<br />
Admiring: my neighbour's calm in the face of her terminal illness<br />
Sorting: out my desk (its a weekly project)<br />
Getting: ready for tomorrow tonight (its a busy one)<br />
Bookmarking: slow cooker recipes (need to buy a slow cooker first)<br />
Coveting: new bed linen<br />
Disliking: how long the washing takes to dry<br />
Opening: recipe books looking for dinner ideas<br />
Giggling: at the text messages my daughter sends<br />
Feeling: pretty content mostly<br />
Snacking: raw almonds and carrots<br />
Helping: navigate school cliques - its a tricky business<br />
Hearing: my bed calling me</span></span>allyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10009232448247160974noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923203588659688051.post-91482221087216242112015-05-15T16:06:00.000+10:002015-05-15T16:06:16.305+10:00~ our joyful moments - weeks 18/19 ~<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">These are my photos for the first two week's of May's theme of #onthtable for #ourjoyfulmoments2015... I hadn't realised how similar they were until I saw them like this!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Week 18 saw me reading snail mail in the sunshine - with my usual paraphenalia around - glasses, keys, pens, flowers.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Week 19 features some beautiful snail mail from Scotland as part of a literary themed swap. <a href="http://www.gramfeed.com/rhiannonconnelly">Rhiannon</a> sent me the gorgeous Hogwart's express card and a fabulous letter - the Harry books are right at the top of my favourite books to read over and over again. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><a href="http://www.gramfeed.com/photographybykarina">Karin</a> and I take a photo each week with a monthly theme. You can see her beautiful shots over here.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">I'll try and take a shot without milo in it this week!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Do you read books over and over? Which ones?</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">It was Mother's Day today - what a lovely day to document with a #tenonten series of photos.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">The day started perfectly - family cuddles in bed, beautiful cards (they always make me teary) and a new little toy to play with (featured in the list later). I'm so very grateful to be a mum - its exactly who and what I'm meant to be doing right now and it brings me so much joy.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">We were running late for the Mother's Day Classic (a walk to raise money for breast cancer awareness and research) that we participate in most years and so I had my breakfast up (less messy) and enjoyed the pretty pink carnations I'd helped choose yesterday (current flower crush - not trendy at all)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">My card from Jack called me the best "huger" ever which is so funny as he always used to spell hug as huge anyway.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">We wore pink shoes (and scarves) and collected lots of medals on our walk.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">We joined my mum and some family friends for lunch. I made a huge pot of my favourite lentil soup - this was the raita that goes on top.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">I found the first tiny grape hyacinth for the season in the garden today - far too early.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">The Question a Day book has been sadly neglected lately - we're trying to catch up a bit</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">The Instax printer was my present today - I love it.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">The autumn leaves are so pretty - a big reminder to look up as well as down.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">The seeds we planted <a href="http://theeverydaymiracles.blogspot.com.au/2015/04/10-on-10-april-2015.html">a month ago today </a>are going well </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Journalling at the end of the day - I'm being good with this.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">.....</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">How do you document your days?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Do you keep a journal?</span></span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">It's a stunning autumn day today - the sky is that piercing blue you only see in Australia, there's a gentle breeze, the leaves are fluttering to the ground.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">I've been for a swim, I've bought some new winter uniform for Lily, I've downloaded our new book club book (<a href="http://lianemoriarty.com.au/Novels/BigLittleLies_US.html">Big Little Lies by Liane Moriaty</a> - a Tasmanian writer) to my kindle to take away to the GP conference I'm going to this weekend. I've opened some lovely mail - a copy of Michelle MacKintosh's book <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22716626-snail-mail"> Snail Mail</a> (which I can't wait to read) and some unexpected and beautiful snail mail from Naomi Bulger (she blogs a lot about snail mail <a href="http://naomibulger.com/tag/blogging/">here</a>). My haircut has been cancelled :-(. I've had one coffee and I feel like I need another. We played pinch and a punch this morning and I lost. I've folded washing and hung out more. I've paid a parking fine I got last week when I was chatting to the med students too long after our tute. I've filled out some forms so I actually get paid for my tutes. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">I've taken a couple of shots of the garden - I think I'll do this on the 1st of every month to document how its changing (or not).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">That got me thinking about past May Days and what we've done. I found these photos in the archives - all dated May 1 and there are some thoughts/words/memories from my journals.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">2014 We arrived in Paris on May Day last year. It was thrilling and busy and fun. Magical memories. We ate McDonalds for dinner as it was a public holiday and everything else was shut.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">2013 I used to create monthly mood boards from the things found in the garden to share on Karin's blog. We don't have the cotoneaster any more - but I think I could find the rest out there pretty easily.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Jack was in heaven helping our cleaner out in the morning with enormous pink gloves on. We had a date night and started dry May </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">2012 Grace danced the maypole dance with her school class as part of a very low key May Day celebration in St David's Park - she was so excited to see herself on the news. I sent out some hand stitched snail mail love.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">2011 Monday morning kinder gym adventures with a 2 1/2 year old</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"> "me want to go to my gym mummy"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"> " no, not that way, walk THIS way"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"> "no - don't like that dance. me only like scarecrow dance"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"> "no me don't want Simon to dance, me only want mummy" </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">How's your day?</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">I had chosen a shot from earlier in the week for my photo this week and then tonight I found this shot of Jack counting the ducks at the Botanical Gardens on Saturday and just had to use this one. We'd gone looking for autumn colour - and despite the myriad of greens in this shot there were lots of stunning autumn trees further down in the gardens.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Karin found these pretty wooden anemones which are all through the forests in Sweden at the moment.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Lots of lovely greens for #ourjoyfulmoments2015 this fortnight.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">We found some (old favourite) pear sculptures on the <a href="http://theeverydaymiracles.blogspot.com.au/2015/04/sculpture-trail-2015.html">sculpture trail</a> last week (that's my family all bokeh'd in the background)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">This week I took my peppermint tea outside (in an old favourite cup) and was surrounded by greens (and chilly air).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Karin is revelling in the lovely spring weather. She's been planting out tomatoes and visiting the Botanical gardens.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">This project is all about capturing the small joys of our everydays and sharing them with you - please suggest a theme for the next few months if there's something you'd like to see.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">This year marks the 10th anniversary for the Art Farm Birchs Bay Sculpture Trail. I think we've missed 2 in the last 10 years - and one was last year when we were in Europe. You could safely say we're big fans.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">This year we took some family members who've never been before and it was lovely to experience it through their eyes as well.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">This year there are 34 new sculptures and quite a few old favourites that have been acquired by Five Bob Farm and remain permanently on site.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">I've shown a few of our favourites above and can highly recommend the trail as a lovely 1/2 day outing if you're in the region in the next few months.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">My previous posts about the trail are <a href="http://theeverydaymiracles.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/snippets.html">here</a> and <a href="http://theeverydaymiracles.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/birchs-bay-sculpture-trail.html">here</a>.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">I have no excuses - just good intentions to be more regular with these posts from now on.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Weeks 12 and 13 were still with the morning theme - my shots are Kunanyi (Mt Wellington) from our kitchen window and then my favourite Peacock jetty on a misty morning on the school commute</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">(I stop regularly and take shots of this - I'm sure the other drivers think I'm crazy).</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Karin's shots are of one of her favourite cafes and her (always) pretty breakfast!.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Our theme for April is green.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">My shot is the Easter egg carton surprise I made up for Jack with chocolates, a chick and some tiny magnets (the heart) - the girls got pink ones.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Karin is seeing the early signs of spring - so pretty!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">I'll be back with more green shots next week. </span></span>allyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10009232448247160974noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923203588659688051.post-74088624385933757182015-04-06T21:55:00.000+10:002015-04-06T21:55:27.096+10:00~ around here lately ~<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Around here lately I'm still not finding time to blog at least weekly (which is my aim).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">These are some catch-ups from the last two weeks - including a lovely long weekend up north for Easter.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">1. He wanted new sand shoes with laces. I showed him twice and then he taught himself how to tie them in less than an hour. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">2. Beautiful dahlias, snail mail and a miraculously tidy kitchen table. (We've actually got two rectangular tables in the space at the moment as we look for a large square one to fill the room).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">3. I had a night in Melbourne and had a fun afternoon at the park with my brother and his little family. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">4. Lovely new magazines (my friend <a href="http://www.gramfeed.com/sarahshanahan_lifestyle">Sarah</a> is featured in Fete this month) and coffee</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">5. My little family at Baker's beach on Easter Sunday - it was a gorgeous day and we walked through the National Park first (spotting loads of birds, wallabies and gross caterpillars but fortunately no snakes) before hitting the beach.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">6. She needs time alone (just like her mama)</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">10. Gorgeous autumn light over the paddocks from my sister-in-laws farm house,</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Drinking : water mostly</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Reading: Fete magazine - my ig friend <a href="http://www.gramfeed.com/sarahshanahan_lifestyle">Sarah</a> is featured this month</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Wanting: some time in the garden - there are so many jobs to do</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Looking: at bulb catalogues (before its too late)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Playing: Taylor Swift (guilty pleasure)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Deciding: whether to keep my gym membership or not - they've moved my favourite classes to unfriendly (to me) times</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Wishing: my baby nephew lived closer</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Enjoying: the cooler mornings and the lovely afternoons</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Waiting: for the leaves to change colour</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Liking: the beautiful pears we found at the market this week</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Wondering: what I should make for lunch this Friday</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Loving: being part of a book club again - its so good</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Pondering: whether I can fit hockey (for me) into our crammed schedule</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Considering: booking a weekend conference in May</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Buying: stripey tops - I've got a problem!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Watching: Offspring box series and laughing out loud</span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Hoping: for some nice weather during the school holidays</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Marvelling: at how quickly Jack learned to tie his shoe laces this week</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Cringing: at our treatment of refugees</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Needing: a new heat pack for winter - mine's a bit stinky</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Questioning: the obsession with extreme diets</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Smelling: handcream - I've always got a tube nearby</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Wearing: trackies and a stripy top</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Following: <a href="http://www.sophieisobelasher.com/2015/03/everyday-moments-from-past-seven-years.html">this lovely blog</a> (long term fan)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Noticing: that Nicky Gemmell seems to be sharing my brain most weekends when she writes her column</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Knowing: I need to write a condolence letter to a friend but am finding it hard to find the right words</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Thinking: about <a href="http://www.smh.com.au/comment/tim-wintons-palm-sunday-plea-start-the-soulsearching-australia-20150329-1ma5so.html">Tim Winton's piece in the SMH </a>about refugees</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Admiring: strong, engaged and passionate women</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Sorting: out a new cupboard or drawer every week - I'm on a mission to declutter (a little bit anyway)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Getting: anxious in the middle of the night for no good reason</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Bookmarking: <a href="http://fellowfellow.com/freebie-easter-egg-stickers/">these Easter printables</a> for my snail mail</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Coveting: a new winter coat</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Disliking: rude manners in the school car-park</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Opening: little boxes of mini-eggs when no one is looking</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Giggling: at the dancing to Taylor Swift that goes on here in the mornings</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Feeling: like I need a massage</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Snacking: granny smith apples dipped in peanut butter</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Wishing: my husband would stop snoring</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Helping: set up a recycling collection box for coffee pods at school</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Hearing: the quiet of the house at night</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">I'm joining in with <a href="http://meetmeatmikes.com/taking-stock-march/">Pip </a>in taking stock once a month - I'm liking the idea of her new weekly photo wrap up as well.</span></span>allyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10009232448247160974noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923203588659688051.post-38036414311123379462015-03-22T22:49:00.000+11:002015-03-22T22:49:33.455+11:00~ around here lately ~<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">I've already posted a picture of these on my joyful post last week but I loved this one too - and it shows the last time I got to use my dotty sugar bowl as I dropped it this week and smashed the lid - I'm so sad!</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;">Pompom dahlias from our neighbour's garden (she lets me help myself...I pay her back with dessert every so often) and eggs in the new $6 easter basket from Woolies that I brought home this week (now housing all my washi tape).</span></span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">He taught himself how to fold paper planes from this kit this week. And over the weekend he's made and flown at least 40 of them. They're like the tennis balls and mostly end up on the roof or over the neighbour's fence - lucky we get along well with them.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Really happy with how this one turned out - the orange nylon was a bit thick but I loved the colours together - I'm onto the next one already - so obsessed.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">This is an installation out at MONA at the moment - Amarna by James Turrell. It was magical to sit on the (heated!) concrete benches at sunset and watch the colours change.</span></span><br />
