Words of Gratitude: Backyards, Letting Go, Serenity & Websites

This Week

I Am

Grateful For

• Our backyard, there is so much to see and so much to do in within that space, the grass really is greener where you water it.

• The ability to let go of activities that drain my energy and to shift focus onto those that restore it.

• For the peace and serenity that children playing outside brings to me sitting here in doors.

• Stumbling onto this site.

Words of Gratitude: Snuggles, Down Time & Free Thought

This week I am grateful for:

• Down time at home after having completed all of the organisation for LHEN activities for next term.

• For morning snuggles in bed with the kids when it is oh so cold outside and knowing that we don’t have to venture out into it.

• For my parents in allowing me free thought and to have an open mind.

Words of Gratitude: Life, Support & Bloggy Goodness

This week I am grateful for:

• Just being, being here on this planet, being alive. Since it's my birthday and all, I'm grateful to see yet another year.

• I'm still very grateful for my blog. It is so nice and clean and tidy, love it! (even though I still haven't finished getting all of my links working)

• I've said this several times before on various posts but I am ever so grateful for my supportive homeschool friends. Without them I wouldn't be where I am today. I continue to meet homeschooling mums that have very little support and my heart goes out to them. I'd be lost without my support network.

Gratitude Journal - Cooking Up A Storm

This week I am grateful:

• This baby! It rocks! My new Thermomix, to be honest I am a little scared to really get in and get cooking (I'm not much of a cook) but it opens up a whole new world of possibilities for me.

Since Sunday I have made Sorbet, Butter, Vanilla Custard, Rice Pudding, Mashed Potato, Pumpkin Soup, Almond Biscuits, Chocolate Custard, Sheperds Pie and Hazelnut Choc Spread (aka Nutella)...with barely any effort at all.

• My new butcher, free range, pasture fed, preservative free and home delivered, who wouldn't love that.

• A quiet couple of hours when I need it most. The times the kids know that mum needs some 'space' they quietly play or entertain themselves so that mum can revive and refresh. Thank you my little guys. :)

Gratitude Journal - Feeling Alive

This week I am grateful for:

• Feeling Alive, really alive! C is finally sleeping until at least 5 -6am.....yay to virtually a full night's sleep.

• My organic fruit and vegie boxes that I am now having home delivered. I always have fresh organic produce on hand and I haven't had to leave the house.

• My Brother doing well. His life has travelled the hard road for a long while now and it is finally looking like it is changing course.
