Mindfulness

By your own efforts
waken yourself,
watch yourself,
and live joyfully.
- Buddha

Beautiful stuff (well, apart from our sweet Olive)

A gorgeous & thoughtful gift from a blogging friend, one exhausted & happy Bean, green fingernails ("like frogs Mumma") and the fact that we're seriously contemplating a tree change...

What beautiful things are happening for you?

Sailing

I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.
- Louisa May Alcott

Favourite words list

Playing along with '52 Lists', with Pip and everyone at meetmeatmikes.
This was a fun one!  Could have gone on forever...

Important love

Don't forget to love yourself.
- Soren Kierkegaard

Bringing Joy

Flowers from dear friends, a Crusty Demon Bean, Olive's darling little fingers (we've taken to calling Liv 'Olive'...in a way it goes with 'Bean')...and the special picture Bean drew for Liv and stuck next to her cot.  Things bringing me joy at the moment.

Love

Keep love in your heart.
- Oscar Wilde

Bean & Mummy time...

The Bean loved her rainy day adventures this week.  Puddles & snails - it was very refreshing after the hot weather I must say.  I need to get myself some gumboots...Bean insisted I wear her Dad's boots instead (see above...I'm not a fan).

Have a great weekend everyone.
