Things I love around Mum and Dad's Place

Thought I'd share some little things that make home, home...

Tea at the kitchen bench, chatting with Mum and Megs...

Pink flamingos in the backyard,  all the way from Florida...

Plates, plates and more plates...my Mum is obsessed!

And another obsession...boots...

Dad says these remind him of Mum and him when they first met...LOVE!

Birthday cakes...it's always someone's birthday...

Chrysanthemums remind me of Nana...Mum always gave then to her...and now I give them to her on Mother's Day...

And The Madelyn...my niece...hmmm sitting on the dining room table watching Hannah Montana...she thought no-one could see her in the dark!

It's makes me so happy going home...to visit...

My niece and I have the same legs!

Stay in Bed and Read

"Reading is a tool in the living of a good life." Joesph Addison 

One thing I love to do to re-charge and nourish the soul and mind, is to stay in bed on a Sunday morning and read. If you're anything like me, you feel guilty about staying in bed late and not getting up to go for a run or do the housework or whatever...don't! I believe reading is exercise for the mind and it's just as important to our health and happiness as physical exercise.

Try it, take a couple of hours on a Sunday morning, pull the curtains open so you can read by the beautiful natural light, grab a coffee (or tea if that's your tonic) snuggle up, relax and escape with a great novel...you'll love how it makes you feel, re-charged, inspired and happy!

I'm just about to start reading "The Toss of a Lemon" Padma Viswanathan

 What are you reading?

Happy Reading,

Market Days with Megs...

Audrey says...

Happy Hearts this week...

 Getting up early enough to make coffee at home before I skip off to work...

Wearing my red lipstick...whilst driving with a dancing pink flamingo...

Painting the town with I love Herb stickers when drunk...

(Herb is little Brother)

Breakfast made by little brother, coffee in pretty tea cup by Megs...

(Megs is said little Brother's soon to be wife and blogger by night)

Circus tent cupcake at Rozelle markets...

Old fashioned market roses.

Yes it was a very happy heart week! 

I hope your heart is happy this week...remember happiness comes in the littlest of things.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

Well I'm so excited this week...I'm off on a jet plane in July, not sure when I'll be back again!!! Yes I'm off to explore, dream and discover the world!  Oh my gosh I've resigned from my position and will be having a career break for at least 6mths or until the money runs out...everyone at work have been so supportive, family and friends are so excited and I just can't believe I'm actually going to realise my dream!

So stay tuned....
