Things I'm Loving...

By PaisleyJade - Friday, July 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 my leather satchel bag!  This was one of the first things I bought when I left school and started working!  It was expensive (Symon still hassles me today about the price) but it's real leather and look how well it's lasted 16 years later!



Loving Grandma and her patience in showing my girl the 'proper' way to crochet (I'm a lefty and my crochet method is a bit strange)...


Loved discovering some Frankie Magazine's in our local library!  Pretty exciting when you live in a small town where none of the shops stock cool magazines.


Loving Mummy & daughter dates...


Loving coconut ice and chocolate truffles, especially when shared with lovely friends...


Loving seeing my kids in the local newspaper (twice in one week!)...


Link Loves...


Loving the latest Delve article (although I might be a wee bit biased), Loving the fact that there is a big Kiwi Mummy Bloggers meetup in Auckland next month!!  Loving The Wooden Birds album and The Frozen Ocean album (especially the first song!).  Both are free to download!

  2. Awesome satchel!!! I totally vote for spending a little bit extra to get something that lasts. Not that I probably would now I have kids who sap up all my spare cash ;-) So yay for buying things like that PRE kids!

    Still coveting your crochet work and still too scared to attempt it myself. Perhaps I'll make a trip to Spotlight this weekend to get something to give it a go...

    Yum those balls of deliciousness look too good.

    Cute little ladies in the paper - so sweet!

  3. I'm loving that leather bag...worth every penny. I was glad to read that you hadn't picked it up for a $1 at the op shop. Then I'd have to be jealous.

  9. I love mummy daughter dates too, but ours only last about 5 minutes at the moment, before she's on the move again. Those truffles look very irresistable.

  20. Such beautiful things to be loving! The coconut ice and choc truffles look scrumptious!
    Such a cute pic of the Mummy/daughter date.
    And the patience of grandparents is something I'm forever loving too... it's so nice for the littlies to be taught something by grandparents, they can carry that skill through life. A lovely legacy.
    :o)

  21. Don't you love how husbands seem to remember how much you spent on something - if it was for him it would have been a different story.

    hope that you are having a great weekend and enjoying those yummy treats.

  22. The photo of you and your girls reminds me so much of my own two when they were little. It just melts my heart.

  23. LOVE!!!!!!

    I begged my ma and pa to buy me a satchel when I graduated and got my first teaching job. I love it sooo much too.

    Oh and does anyone NOT love coconut ice???

    Hey Widge, even though I'm a devout Canterbury lover and supporter I'm not sure COOL and Rangiora will ever go together ;-)
