Silent Sunday

Silent Sunday

Loving the alphabet prompts! SO easy to remember.

Things I'm loving - The Return!

I wholeheartedly believe that no matter what is happening in your life, there is always something that you can be thankful for... no matter how simple it is. 

First of all... I'm happy for the return of 'Things I'm Loving!' It had been a staple here at Following Moonshadows almost from the start and I was sad to give it up for a bit. Welcome back TIL!

I'm loving being an Aunty again to this gorgeous little girl. My sister gave birth to her 4th child on the 31st to this cute as little bundle...and look how alert she is! Cutest little gremlin I've seen in a long time! Welcome to the world Kaley. 

I loved taking some time to dedicate to a favourite past time last night, travelling up the Awhitu Peninsula to get some sunset shots. Here's my fave and a cute little church we saw on the way. My lord New Zealand is a beautiful place.

I'm loving my iPhone. I don't know how I did without a smartphone for so long. There are so many things I was missing out on that really, for me being the tech nerd that I am, I should have! Especially loving the panoramic function in the camera yesterday. Beautiful shots this phone takes. In love!

And on the note of buying stupidly expensive toys... I also love my new camera. It was time for a new one (as the rubber grip has plain fallen off the other one... and I lost it). It also goes beautifully with my new cambag (see Friday photo dump for pic of bag).

I luuuuurve my new hello kitty hispter glasses with no lenses. I feel like a badass when I wear them around the house. Everyone's had a go!

I'm loving our local library... and so is my little friend by the looks of things....

And here's a dump of some of my favourite pics from throughout the week, some made it to instagram, some did not.

Things I'm loving...

I wholeheartedly believe that no matter what is happening in your life, there is always something that you can be thankful for... no matter how simple it is.  

1.  Love having the happy girl back.  After a sad weekend of grizzly wakey times and big long sleeps then a few days of refusing to have much to eat at all my little girl is back with a vengeance - guzzling up a storm and dazzling everyone far and wide with her beautiful smiles.  Even making me laugh first thing in the morning with her monkey calls to get me out of bed, sure beats crying!

And just quickly.. also loving the clever girl holding the phone and talking to daddy.

and learning to use the jolly jumper.

2.  Loving surprising a well deserving friend who's going on study leave next year.  (Did this last week but somebody took up all my loving last week).  I made a little basket of silly things with sayings - like a sponge with a tag that said 'for soaking up all that knowledge' or a packet of smarties 'because we know you're smart'.  Was fun making it and fun giving :).

3.  Loving slick pic.  I was going to upload all my photos to picasa but totally recommend this site :D

4.  Loving online shopping... or a love/hate relationship really.  Love the shopping and getting things delivered.  Bank account not liking it so much. Lol.

That's what I'm loving this week.  What about you?  Linking up over at Paisley Jade's. :)

I wholeheartedly believe that no matter what is happening in your life, there is always something that you can be thankful for... no matter how simple it is. 

1.  Loving the opportunity to get together with my antenatal group today after we've all had our bubbas - and what a gorgeous bunch we are!

PS:  Spot the monster (Little Miss is about 5 weeks older than the next oldest) and spot the opportune predator (bubba again!). Tsk tsk Little Miss!

2.  Loving getting through some things in my 101 challenge.  You would have seen some of my recipes if you read the blog all the time.  I've also been looking for which recipe book I'm going to cook every recipe from and have began to get into my reading again.

Over the last week I've read 4 of my 'ology' books which I collect.  Because I collect them I just buy and often don't read when I'm too busy.  Am glad to get these four under my belt now.  I'm counting all 4 of them as '1' book of my 20 that I need to read for the challenges as they're pretty slight books.  Fun times!

3.  Loving getting to the movies for a midnight screening this week.  I like the Twilight series but I wouldn't call myself a Twihard.  I suppose I am enough to go to the movies at that time of night.  Lol.

I am an avid subscriber to the 'Books are better than the movies' train of thought and still am but thought this movie was pretty good considering.  They capture the story of this novel fairly well. I always like to see how they bring the book to life. LOVE this song from the movie <3

4.  Love my little winged princess. Keep a watch for more chalk creations to come!

5.  Pink nails!

6. Loving having lost 5.7kg in a month. And to be fair... I haven't had to change much - heaps more fruit and veges mostly.  Still wanting to kick it up a notch but phoar! What a good start!

And another think I'm starting..

Photo dump Fridays! Where I get rid of all my photos from my mobile devices each week.  Mostly the iPad - god bless you instagram!
