Totally Pinworthy Linky Party

I can't believe it is Sunday again! Sorry I missed last weeks Totally Pinworthy, but with B breaking his nose in two places I was a little flustered.

Not to worry, all things are back to normal here now. He had surgery on Thursday and it went well. He is sporting a rather attractive nose splint at the moment and has to wear it for another 4-5 days.

Anyhow, this week I have been pinning some gorgeous outside spaces to my One Day pinboard and thought I would share them with you.

Now down to business, so have you:

  • posted about your favourite pins from Pinterest for the week, then link it up!
  • posted a Totally Pinworthy post during the past week, then link it up!
  • If you have done both, well link them both up!
The only thing I would suggest is that if you are linking up a post with your favourite pins can you make sure that the corrent credits are given for the images. 






Let's get into it!

The rules or guidelines as such are all the same as what they were over at Tina's and if you aren't familiar with them they are:

  • Grab the button (from above) and add it to your post and/or your sidebar. Because it’s good karma. A little link love didn’t hurt anyone. And the more people who see the button, the more that might join in and the more traffic we will get – hopefully.
  • Add your blog link to the linky below – so other Pinners can come visit you and “pin it” to their Pinterest boards.
  • Visit some of the other links, give some comment love and pin as many of the posts as you have time to do.
I will endeavour to visit each and everyone one of you that link up, it may take me a little while as I work some Sundays, but I will stop by within 24 hours of you linking up. 
Happy Pinning!

Living Simply, Living Deliberately

I wrote about my dreams for the future a little back here and here, but really I want to live a simple as possible now too and have recently started reading a wonderful book called Down to Earth by Rhonda Hetzel.













It is full of some wonderful resources and some great ideas on how everyone can live a little simpler in their everyday life.

Do you dream of a simple life?

P.S This isn't a sponsored post. I am just really enjoying this book.

I Love Hugh...


Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall that is. River Cottage is a one of those TV Shows that I schedule and record every week with out fail. I don't miss an episode, ever!

The kids even enjoy watching it and ask questions frequently. I like that they are starting to learning where their meat comes from and with the current Veg Everyday series they are starting to learn about more veg and showing an interest in trying a lot of other vegetables that they have previously dismissed. Caden even planted his own peas last week.

Me, I dream of day living on a few acres of land and living in as self sustainably as possible. B on the other hand, isn't so keen. But he no longer leaves the room when River Cottage comes on, I have actually started noticing him coming from other areas of the house and sitting down to watch it with me. Maybe my dreams are rubbing off on him?! I can only hope.

At the moment I will have to make do with growing crops in pots on our modest suburban block of land with our 4 fruit trees and our family pets. I will continue dreaming of one day owning chickens and other animals and digging in our own vegetable gardens and living a simple sustainable life.

What do you dream of? Is living a self sufficient sustainable way something that appeals to you, or does it make you want to run for the hills?

Ooh! That's Pinterest...ing- Dreaming

We have been talking lately of where we would like to be in the next 5-10 years home wise. So of course this has lead me to pinterest searching out my perfect living spaces. One of the major things I have been dreaming of is my dream kitchen. I have several images in my head and these pins reflect a lot of them.

The theme seems to be light and airy with high ceilings! Oh to live in a house like that.

Not that I don't love my current house. We built it 5 years ago. It is our second house we have lived in and our first house we built. We built it when we were 21. It is what we could afford at the time. And I am proud of what we achieved at that age.

What does your dream house look like?
