I've been a bit slack at writing this post. We've been home for a week now, but I've been spending my time reading instead of getting some posts written! I didn't want to get out of holiday mode I guess.

We got out for a walk this morning along the lake with a friend of mine who has a dog. She's off work on maternity leave now and wanted to get out of the house. We went out for a walk along the track by

Our daughter loves strawberries, so we thought we would use up some of our small garden real estate and grow some of our own. It was such a beautiful day here so we went to the gardening shop and bought

Today is the final day in my 30 day challenge. I have been trying to put up the more meaningful things in my steemit posts (as opposed to the smaller things) that I appreciate in my everyday life. I thought

I feel gratitude today about my attitude. I've recently come to the realisation that I can't control what other people do/say/act or how they behave. It's nothing to do with me and I have made a decision

Today I really appreciate exercise. I love getting my body moving, my blood pumping, using my muscles and feeling strong. I've generally always been an active person and this stage in my life (being a

Today I am happy for funny TV shoes and comedies. We don't spend a lot of time watching TV, but when we do watch something I prefer it to be a funny show, something to get me to laugh! I really do think

Today I am thankful for my decision to let my daughter nap on me. She's been taking naps on me from day 1 (apart from the few days where the nurses in the ICU made me put her back in the awful plastic

Today I am grateful for our neighbourhood birds - Sparrows, Finches, Blackbirds, Wax Eyes and a few others I can't identify. We have a small section where we live but we do have a couple of areas where

The photo above is what I'm thankful for today! Spring is almost here! My favourite time of year. This is the first daffodil to sprout out of the earth in my garden this year. I was so, so excited seeing

Image source Today I am thankful for easily being able to keep in touch with my sister who is in Scotland. This is pretty much the exact opposite side of the globe to me (in New Zealand)! We have currently

I know I've been a bit slack with the daily posts recently but you'll have to forgive me. I've been knocked down with a not so nice head cold. I'm on the mend now though and hope to be back here daily

Today I am thankful for colouring and drawing. I haven't coloured in for years, but now my daughter is getting interested in it I spend time with her doing it. The first picture I have coloured in in a

Today I am thankful for my garden and for being able to grow food. Its not very big, as we currently live on a small town section. I have managed to squeeze in a wee raised garden bed and it's enough for
