Things I'm Loving...

By PaisleyJade - Friday, May 06, 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.  

What a week!  A royal wedding, the kids back at school for their second term, a tornado in New Zealand (yes, you heard me right... a tornado in New Zealand!), and Mother's day just around the corner.  Wow.

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

"Ants on Log" - this little person had been hounding me all week to by celery so we could make this (I still have no idea to this day where she got the idea from either)...


  Boo sleeping upright (we didn't play with her face this time)...


New bunks in the girls room - yay for more space!


This lovely big brother who is very caring and helpful (most of the time) with his little sisters.  I found him last night on their top bunk reading them their bedtime stories.  So sweet.


Link Love:  Totally thankful to God that my friend Dom and her family are safe after her 3 children were caught up in their car in the tornado!  Total miracle (story here).  Loving this cute as Pink Snowball Cake. Loving these free (and totally legal) Christian album downloads!!!

  2. Love your blanket, and the girls' room -so pretty!

    I remember doing ants on a log when we were kids. It was fun. And so great that your son is such a good big brother. It will be a gift the younger ones will treasure in the years to come.

  3. bunks are such a great invention right?! (until you have to change the top bed's sheets - that's not so fun!)

  4. My kids were watching Kidzone yesterday and the presenter was making ants on a log - my kids don't like anything that looks healthy so they haven't asked me to make them! PJ I need your help - I have seen these supercool basket thingies made from crotchet. I want to make them, only problem is I don't know how to crotchet!! I have three books on the table with instructions but I don't get it :(
    Love your girls bunks, and your granny blanket xx

  9. Oh bunks, our twins decided they wanted to go back into bunks when they were 9 (yes, loved the extra floor space again - they have always had to share), now they want to seperate & have seperate rooms so i have to make this 4 bedroom home into a 5. Not easy, but the teenager will share my studio space with a super cool bedroom now, she's thrilled, also at the other end of the house. Amazing what you can make do with house space when you're desperate or highly encouraged by your large family. Love Posie

  10. Oooh I cannot wait for the day when my two girls can a) share a room and b) go into bunks - the space looks BLISS!

    My girls have been eating celery with peanut butter all week too - haven't tried the raisin thing yet - they'll think it's Christmas!

    PS I have an idea - you should totally do a 'how to crochet' post with a project - I'd love to have a creative bone in my body - but need super simple instructions haha!

    Oh I love that your little boy looks after his sisters like that! Even if it only occasionally!
    And I LOVE that blanket Kristy!
    So awesome.
    Girly, I just wanted to thank you for this link up every week.
    It gives perspective.
    It reminds us what really matters in a sometimes overwhelming world.
    You're precious and I count it a blessing calling you friend!

  14. Oooooh! my youngest still begs for ants on a log! (He could totally make them himself...)

    Crushing on the pink, pink girlie room. Bunk beds are the answer to so many of life's little problems! It truly opens up a space.

  24. Oooh... I love your daughters' room, so cute. I dreamed of a pink room when I was their age haha! Wonderful!

    And bunks are just wonderful (though I hit my head hard once when I was in the top one, forgot that the ceiling was a little bit nearer then my tiny person was used to ;))

    Have a lovely weekend Kristy! XNien
