Life

Today I am thankful for my life group, we are just a bunch of people who get together and share a meal and what we are thinking, learning, dreaming about, all in relation to God. Each week I am so encouraged by the other people in our group, one of the things tonight was about the way we think, which really does impact absolutely everything our lives! If you want to see change that really is the place to start! So although I am still trying to be thankful, I am also going to try to think the way God wants me too- meditating on His word and using that to shape the way I approach life.

Family

Here Is to family! I have a wonderful family and am cherishing having a few sneaky days away visiting my sister. The kids are loving hanging with their cousin.


I am very thankful for the strength & faith of my big sis! A true inspiration!

Special moments

Today I am thankful for a special little interaction that I am glad I didn't miss. We were stuck at some traffic lights and all the boys were in the back of the car. Outside there was a cute little boy on the hip of his mumma. Israel (16months) took a shine to the kid and was smiling and waving to him out the window if the car. The other boy was looking back and waving also, it was so innocent, so friendly and so special to see how easily a kid can make a friend without the social barriers adults place on themselves. I wonder how many friends we never make because we feel to awkward to give a smile or a wave to someone we don't know.

Cookbooks you can count on

Today I am thankful for a great meal from 'jaimes 30 min meals' It is only a new cookbook, but I can tell it's going to be a trustworthy companion! After a great day (Melbourne cup lunch with some lovely friends) I was in a bit of a rush to prepare dinner for some friends......cue 30 minute meals, fresh, yummy food on the table quickly! Now I just have to go and convince the kids to eat thier greens..... That'll probably take another 30 mins!!!!!

Inspiration!

I am back!! (and still very thankful!!) having 3 young boys & working like a maniac I put this blog on the backburner, thankfully I think I am a little better at saying no to things and setting aside a but if time for ME!
So here I am! Today I am thankful for the lighthouse womens blog! An inspiration and encouragement to be a better woman


each and every single day. So here is to making time for ourselves, because really we are much nicer to be around when we do!!

day 90

Today I am thankful fur a bit if extra help. Today I booked in for a cleaning service to cone and do a spring clean. I can never get to all the extra jobs, plus I think I deserve it....so I am treating myself and bringing in the experts!! It's going to be soooo good!!
Ps.... All to often we women try to do way to much. I am not superwoman and I am finally realizing that I can't do everything..... While it's hard to give up control, just go for it!! You deserve a break!!

Day 89

Today I am thankful for some quiet. So the chicken soup did work a little, but I still felt a little sick when I woke up. So my lovely husband took the older boys to work with him for the day. Then when he came home he picked up "littles" as well and took all the boys to the beach. That meant for the first time in 9 months I had a bit of ME time! I relaxed in the bath and had a lay on the lounge and generally just enjoyed the quiet!! By the time they came home I felt 100%! I think maybe I was just totally exhausted, it was almost worth it!!
