Things I'm Loving...

By PaisleyJade - Friday, October 21, 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...

This week I'm loving pet snails.  Yes, you heard me right... I am loving the pet snails that the girls have in little containers at the moment.  Mind you, next week I will probably be hating pet snails.


Loving the memories of our birthday celebrations this last week.  There was lots of fun, laughter and spoiling going on.  Loved it.


Loving the fun activities that fill up school holidays.  Things like making tents out of sheets over chairs, playing Rummikub, filling up a tub of hot soapy water to let little ones wash their own dishes. Often it's the simplest of things that bring the most joy.



Loving our local library and the amazing inspiration that comes from all the fabulous books I would not be able to afford to own myself.  Libraries rock!!


Loving clever friends who create amazing Mario themed gifts!  My friend and blogging buddy Becky, whipped up these cute creations for my boys birthday.  He loves them so much!!


Finally, I'm loving spending some alone time with my special guy, while the kids are away staying with their Nana (thanks Mum).

  1. Am I reading correctly? Pet Snail? eekkk - I was outside in my gumboots with a torch last night squashing the lil bu&&ers! They are annihilating my veggie garden.
    Hot soapy water for the lil ones - brilliant idea - that is this afternoons play - fill the water play trough with hot soapy water.
    And ahhhh bliss yes adult time - perfect -

  5. Eeek, my high schooler needed snails for school, it hasn't rained for a week so i said a firm "no, inside, you'll never find any" & she's since forgotten, yay!! Too close to slugs for me. Of course as a child snails were great fun.
    Oh time alone with your husband, how wonderful, i won't even see mine for another 5 months, savouring the time!! Of course with our puppy too, love Posie
