Wordless Wednesday......{blow out your candles}

Playing along with WORDLESS WEDNESDAY over here!

HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY!!!! We're off to enjoy this glorious, sunny, warm day!

What are you up to today?

Awesome Things....

Tonight I sat down to blog about something completely different from what I'm about to post lol. But as usual I got side-tracked & drawn in from all the inspiration floating around blog land :) One of my favourite bloggers, Mrs A in the Cove made a list today of what she classifies as 'awesome things'! She got the inspiration & idea from website 1000 Awesome Things!

So, here it is.... My List Of Awesome Things:

• The sweet 'love note' text messages I get most days from my gorgeous Husband.
• The feeling of clean, crisp, fresh smelling bed sheets.
• Having your own child wrap their little arms around you, look you in the eyes & tell you they love you.
• That no two snow flakes are identical.
• The smell of freshly cut grass.
• Seeing the world through a child's eyes.
• Chocolate covered coffee beans.
• Being in love.
• Waking in the middle of the night to hear rain on the roof.
• A summer's sunrise.
• Chunky jewellery.
• Magazines.
• A full night's sleep {however I can't truly remember what that feels like}
• That feeling of contentment when you sit back & really anazlyse the blessings in your life.
• Bubbles.
• Shooting Stars
• When someone lands on the hotel you just bought in Monopoly.
• Sun-rainstorms
• Believing in miracles & magic.
• Hugs from friends when you're feeling down.
• Home made soup.
• My Husband's kisses.
• The smell of baby's skin.
• Kid's parties.
• Fresh flowers.
• The miracle of birth & life.
• When hard work pays off & dreams come true.
• Meeting someone new & 'clicking' straight away.
• That salty layer that is left on your hair & skin after a day at the beach.

Wishful Wednesday......

Another Wednesday is here....can you believe it? So on that note....I have another little list of lovelies that tickled my fancy this week, grabbed my attention & are playing on my heart strings:

I wish I had these cute little Matson Flats by Tony Bianco:

And I wouldn't mind these gorgeous Hand Woven cushions from Table Tonic {my lounge room chairs definitely needs a revamp}:

I also wish for Sarah Jessica Parker's new scent SJP NYC. It smells divine!

I wish my daughter's eyesight regains it's perfection ASAP! We took a trip to the Optometrist last week & was told Ella needs to wear glasses for the next 6-12 months! Our little Princess is such a little bookworm who loves to read, write, draw & paint a little too much....looks like all that close-up work has strained her precious little eyes! {The Optometrist assured me it's easily fixed & seems to be more & more common these days with all the educational toys & technologies our kids are exposed to!} She looks very cute in her new glasses though:

AND.....I am officially on 2 weeks holiday in only 2 days!!! {When I say holidays...I mean School Holidays....no teaching/no work/no chaotic mornings to get out the door on the time....for 2 whole weeks YAHOOOO!} So.....I wish for RELAXATION!!! {Well....as much relaxation possible with an energetic 2yr old & a MASSIVE list of things to do for Scissors Paper Rock...which I'm actually really excited about}

But... on top of those things to do, I also plan on plenty of reading & endless cups of tea/coffee:

Plenty of play & fun with my gorgeous little girl:

And I'm looking forward to a Girl's Night Out with some of my very best girlfriends to Max Brenner & a Movie:

LASTLY on my list......I want to wish my gorgeous Husband a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! {It's not his birthday until Monday the 28th but I'm already in celebration mode & wishing him a lovely birthday weekend...made even better by our upcoming weekend away up the coast! xox}

Have a great night everyone! See you tomorrow!

What's on your wishlist this week?

Wishful Wednesday....

Ooooh this week's Wishful Wednesday List ALMOST didn't happen as my website was down due to some 'technical difficulties'.....but thankfully....at 9pm, we were back online.....phew :)

Here goes:

{Firstly, I wish I could mend my best friend's broken heart....I wish I could make it all better for her :( But I can't.....so I'll just continue doing what I can......being an ear to talk to, a shoulder to cry on, a house for her to come to, someone who will drop everything to be at her place for a cuddle & a chat, leaving little surprises & gifts at her front door or at work & reminding her she's an AMAZING person xox}

{Secondly, I sometimes wish that I could freeze time! I;ve been getting this desire a lot lately......I'm just LOVING this stage of life that Ella is in and I really want to savour every little part of it! As much as I look forward to the future and the adventures it will bring as Ella gets older....a little part of me just wants her to stay this little & fun for a bit longer :))) She amazes me everyday & I just can;t get enough of her!}

{Thirdly, I'm not the best decision maker.....I'm very good at procrastinating! LOL! But a big decision needs to be made right now in my life....so I think Hubby & I will have to hold on tight & take a big leap of faith together! Thank goodness we have each other.....the journey of life would not be the same without him!

I wish the 'right' choice was the 'easiest' choice}

{I wish for the new iPhone 4 as soon as it hits Aussie shores!! I can't wait to see what magic APPLE have up their sleeve this time! The reviews sound amazing!! Do you remember your first mobile phone?? Haaa....how amazing has technology come in only such a short period of time!}

{I wish I could get my hands on one of these Dior vintage tees!! Love it!}

{Lastly, I wish for a good night's sleep!}

Happy Wednesday everyone!! See you tomorrow!
