At 7.15am this morning my balloon stalker appeared, all noisy, huffing and puffing over our house, whooshing and wheezing away and whipping the 372 neighbourhood dogs into a frenzy. That sounded real nice. Then after I had dropped Ethan off at school and was heading …
There are so many wonderful things going on at the moment which I will share with you soon {one of which is a SUPER exciting blog project right HERE!}, so I just wanted to take a little moment or 11 and be thankful that this year is not last year, that my Dad is not suffering and that all of those I love are happy and healthy. We have had our share of hard times but things seem to be on the upswing this year. A wise lady {whom I still work with} once told me to watch out for little signs that show you are on the right track. I wholeheartedly believe this. The universe, somehow??, finds ways to provide affirmations that you are doing something right. If you can’t see the signs, it may be time to shake it up a bit and try something new.

Have I told you that I will NEVER Hot Air Balloon? No? I WILL NEVER HOT AIR BALLOON.
There was a wee bit of celebrating this week, we enjoyed dinner down by the river and snapped the ferry arriving from Auckland.
Ethan is back in his weekly routine of swimming, touch practise, touch games and trombone. Yes, we like to keep him busy!
We had some major storms last Friday, no power for 6 hours and no interwebs for 48! High drama all round
Sometime even Ethan stops moving for just a little while.
This is amazing. It makes me want to close the blinds, sit cross-legged on the floor for days and roll paper {if that could at all be fun, I just might do it} Artist : Lisa Nilsson Images from www.thisiscolossal.com
We picked a 3kg bounty of strawberries last weekend and just about managed to chomp through them, however the remainder were on borrowed time. I chopped them up in the blender, saved some for cereal in the morning and baked the rest into these …
Have a wonderful day with your lovely friends or sweetie. There are so many cute valentines mementos around, I thought I’d share a few of my favourites;
A couple of little songs I love. Bright Eyes are my new fave, Dave Jack always seems to be able to pick bands/songs that I’m going to love.
