Things I'm Loving...

By PaisleyJade - Friday, September 23, 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.  

Like every week, this week has had it's ups and downs, including the odd disappointment, coughs and colds, husband's lost wallet and the dog spewing on our bed.  But like I say, there is always something to be thankful for.

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

Fish'n chips by the water (wearing a princess dress makes it even more awesome)...


Scarecrows - just because...


Loving this fabulous idea (via Jacksta, via Dee) of having a secret journal with my oldest daughter, where we share whatever we want to with each other, then hide it under each other's pillows. LOVING it!!


Loving Poppa's measuring stick... loving seeing how tall each of our children are getting (but scary seeing that my eldest boy is nearly the same height as me!!!).


Cafe's that provide things for children to do rock!  Really appreciate when businesses think about the busy parent and their child.


Finally, loving this.  The couple on this are soooo cute and I do hope Symon and I will be like this when we grow older (although hopefully we will be a bit more computer savvy!).


Here's how you can join in....

    Oh hi!!!
    LOVE that idea about the mother-daughter journal!!
    I have a special book I started writing stories in to Miss Fab when she was a bay but it kind of got abandoned after I started blogging... I think I might revive it and change its purpose... thankyou Kristy via Jacksta via Dee!

    PS If I can't link up, can you grab my post and link it up for me? Maybe I am blocked cos I'm blogging from here??

  7. Love Fish & Chips on the beach. Can you believe my hubby had never had F&C in newspaper until he met me?! Weirdo South Africans!!!

    Love that mother-daughter journal - definitely one for the future.

    I love when cafe's have kids corners. Actually that's the only way I'm even able to venture into them.

    And that old couple?! Toooooo cute! They remind me of my grandparents. Every time I go and see them my grandad pulls out a photo of my Nana as a young lady and tells me how she had so many men after her but he got her - she tells him off and rolls her eyes - they're so sweet.

  20. Thanks for sharing the secret journal idea. I decided to do the same with my eldest son, and it has been awesome! He is loving it, and so am I. I'm not sure if it was originally only meant to be for mothers/daughters, but this mother/son team thinks it is FAB!!
