Things I'm Loving

I haven't written a Things I'm Loving post for a few weeks, things have been crazy busy here and I haven't had a chance to stop and take stock and reflect on what I'm loving at the moment.









So here are just a few things that I'm loving today.

I'm loving the Caden and Mahli are coming along leaps and bounds in their swimming. They are just doing so well and are enjoying themselves in the process- No photo's of that, people get all funny about cameras at public pools...

I am loving that B and I got to go away last week and spend two whole days and nights being us and not Mum and Dad. Wish I could say we came home rested, but Melbourne is one big city and we walked... A LOT.

I am loving that at the Bloggers Brunch last week, they sung happy birthday to 6 of us and gave us cupcakes. We even got to blow out candles... okay, I was a little embarrassed by it, but it was a great gesture!

I am loving this necklace that I made the other day. It is a pay-it-forward gift, but I think I need to make one for myself.

And I am loving that I am finally putting together a new blog that I have been dreaming of for a while. It should be all up and running next week sometime! I am looking for contributors too, so if you think you might be interested shoot me and email. I'd love to chat!

What are you loving at the moment?

Wordless Wednesday

I ordered some signs from the US last month and they arrived on Monday

I love them!

And I finally started on my pay it forward gifts. I should have them all finished and post off tomorrow.

Thankful Thursday- Unexpected presents

Don't you just love it when a parcel arrives in your mail box and you have no idea where it come from? Or maybe you do but just wasn't expecting it.

That happened to me this morning. I received a parcel that was marked as Air Mail from New Zealand. I was thinking hang on, I haven't ordered anything from across the ditch lately... And then I opened it to find this:

And then I opened it it some more and found this:

And then I jumped up and down excited over how gorgeous it is! I mean isn't it the cutest thing in the world???

Thank you so much Juliet! I love it to the moon and back.

And I have decided to do get in on the loving and do my own Pay it Forward just in time for Christmas.
