Things I'm Loving

By PaisleyJade - Thursday, September 01, 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...

Moustache surprises in the mail!  The amazing Meg from Growing Up sent me the cutest package ever, which included a moustache journal, pen, stamp and sticky notes.  Seriously the sweetest blogging buddy package in the mail EVER. Thank you so much Meg. xoxo


Loving warm cinnamon pinwheel scones, topped with blueberry icing and coconut!


My big boy who is growing into a fine young man - look, he's even got facial hair!


More bloggy buddy love - the fabulous Cat from Catalina's Cottage has generously posted up her copy of The Help for me to read!  I've only just started reading the book and I'm hooked already! So looking forward to the movie... if you haven't seen the trailer yet, go here.  Thanks Cat!!



My amazing girl and her fabulous effort recently in more cross country running.  I hated cross country running when I was young (I was a sprinter all the way) so I am very proud of her!



Finally (and trying to look on the bright side) I am loving the fact that we had the pleasure of getting to know the fabulous Leonie from Kiwi At Heart for the short time we did.  We all first met up here at our first ever Whangarei bloggers gathering, and it's been tonnes of fun since then.  Sadly she is off back to Australia *sob sob* so some of us Whangarei bloggers gathered at the Fat Camel (mmmmmm) and had a farewell meal.    Leonie even made us the cutest crochet heart brooches as a farewell gift.


We will miss you so much Leonie!!

  1. Oooh, I've heard such great things about that book, and the film looks good too. Parcels in the mail are the BEST (as are the people who send them!). Love your boy's facial hair, very impressive :)

  4. I really want to read/watch "The Help".
    Now that the movie release is just around the corner, to read or to watch first? That is the question.

  20. Wow, I never fail to be impressed with your thankful lists :) I loved 'The Help'...I was actually going to do it for Mrs Readalot's Book Club when my turn comes next year, but had no idea until recently that it was going to be a film...so everyone will probably have read it :) Love your bloggy gift and those pinwheel scones look delicious!! Have a fun week over there :)
