Things I'm Loving...

By PaisleyJade - Friday, April 29, 2011


I wholeheartedly believe that no matter what is happening in your life, there is always something that you can be thankful for... no matter how simple it is.  

Here are a few of the things I am loving at the moment...

Loving whipping up a quick batch of pinwheel scones and everyone digging in while they are freshly iced and still warm.


The first fire this winter...


Pet shop visiting - a cheap form of school holiday entertainment!


Crochet beanies for barbie (I'm embarrassed to admit)...


Remembering that yesterday was my third year of blogging anniversary!  Still love it - especially the inspiration I find from you all out there and the wonderful friendships made.


Finally, my brave little soldier, who after a collision with her big brother on the trampoline a couple of days ago, now has 3 stitches in her tongue!  They don't usually stitch tongues, so as you can imagine, it was a slightly awkward procedure. We've been on a long journey with her issue with doctors, and despite the horrible incident yesterday, she did so well and was even smiling and waving at each nurse and doctor she saw.

I have made the pic below smaller than normal as not to offend any with weak stomachs, but if you are game, click on the image to see it bigger!

  1. mmmm fire's are the BEST right! And I might have to look into making myself some pinwheel scones - they look so good! I love the pic of the hole in the tongue - the ouchie cringe factor is HIGH - and it cracks me up that you got a pic of it.. I can just see it "just hold still so I can get a pic for the blog" hehehe :-)

  5. Bless her! She looks delighted to be able to stick her tongue out and not get scolded! Poor little tike, that must have really hurt.

    SimaJ summed up what I was thinking about you getting a pic, reminds me of the time my eldest fell into the toilet and got stuck. He was wailing and I was bellowing "Hang on while I get my camera!"

  18. Yum! Do tell more about those delish-looking scones. (I'd really have to make them sans pink icing...:)

    Poor girlie must've had much pain with that tongue -- I know I hate it when I just bite a tiny bit of it. I hope it feels better soon & heals nicely.
