some changes on the horizon..

I'm not sure you know but I've been thinking about you a lot lately.  I've been wondering how 2013 will turn out for us and how I can work, be a mum, wife and blog.  Nevertheless, I am determined to EMBRACE the challenges and try not to stress in the process (ha, ha). 

In 2012 I jumped into the blogging sphere (with little research and or know how) I might add, and since then I have had a steady following.  It's because of you I braved taking my first e-course at the end of last year (photo-meditations).  I enjoyed it soooo much that I am currently participating in another e-course, 'blogging-from-the-heart' so you might see some changes around here in both design and in the written/typed form.  Some changes will be subtle and you may not notice a thing but some areas e.g. my banner will be changing. 

In regards to changes to my blog space/design, this has simply coincided while doing the online course.  I've been gradually working on these 'improvements' myself so it's taking a bit of research, trial and error and or trial and disaster in some cases, loads of patience and finger crossing that all the techno stuff works. 

On a temperature update...its been yet another hot, humid day.  I didn't check the temperature of the kitchen because I spent most of the morning cleaning out our fridge and freezer as it broke down.  I guess it was even too hot for the fridge! 

Thanks for your patience and I will see you soon.

right now...

Singing Cicadas resting high in the gum trees early this morning was a tell tale sign of what we were in store for today, that's right - a heat wave.  The current temperature in my kitchen reads '30 degrees'. 

So the only place to escape to is... you guessed it...the pool. 

 

see you tomorrow

Museum Adventure

The little and the big enjoyed a relaxing day at the Queensland Museum, walking, talking and exploring.  Just getting to our destination was an adventure.  I took all photos in this post on my Sony digital point and shoot, oh so handy. 

(This is not a sponsored post)

First stop was the cafe, of course, then straight to the current exhibit 'Explore-a-saurus'. 

Discovering dinosaur bones in the sandpit was also very popular and a good excuse to take your shoes off and just play for a while. 

We also enjoyed exploring other exhibits and we even discovered some close family connections on display!

There was time for a few more shots before heading to my parents place for a special catch up with visiting family, including my uncle (above) and a feast!

Such a great day.

See you back here tomorrow. xo.

weekending...

Happy weekend to you and your family.

My apologies for my previous 'weekending' post not working.  I am having some issues uploading photos on Blogger.  When I realised it wasn't working I was away from my computer at the time.  Anyway I am still having some issues posting photos so I hope I can fix the problem soon. 

I will be posting more photos (hopfully) of our adventures from the weekend tomorrow.  Have a lovely afternoon and thanks for your patience xo.

I remember the first day we picked you up; every day with you always by our side and the last kiss goodbye.  Thank you for being such a good puppy and for all the adventures across the outback to the coast. 

We will miss you so very much.  

Love always,

your family and your many, many friends.

Hello 2013

Happy New Year! 

Wishing you loads of love, hope, hugs and happiness this year. 

 

I will be absent from this space for a couple more days and I will return with some new photos to share.  Thank you for your support and feedback in 2012.  I have loved being able share snapshots of our life amongst family, friends and fellow bloggers. 

 

As I sip my warm cup of tea and look into the year ahead I am looking forward to the challenges of juggling motherhood, home-life, returning to work and of course blogging. 

 



See you soon.
