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.
This week has been a tough one.. for a couple of known reasons and many many unknown. I haven't taken many photos because I just haven't been in the mood, but I do have a couple of things to share and of course - no matter how crap things are going, there are always things I love.
1. I'm loving my fabulous work colleagues and friends (most I consider both) who noticed something was up with me this week and offered advice, a sounding place or just an office for me to get away to. Thank you :)
2. I'm loving these quotes that have made me think this week. One that was 'pinned' just for me. xox
3. Loving how a few minutes of holding this beautiful girl while putting her to sleep last night made me feel a whole heap better.
4. Love is not enough. I absolutely adored this post from Enjoying the Small things. This blog warms my heart every time. <3

Things I'm loving...
Better late than never...again. Man it's been a busy week! I've had a sick baby, meet the teacher night, a BOT meeting. Phew. Glad it's Friday night Saturday morning.
I love trips to the beach and Leah's first swing.
Loving teaching again. My class is wonderful and they made some amazing chalk art this week. You can see some of it here.
Love the optimism that these can bring.
I love the family that pulls together when bubba is sick. Thank you too all the people that helped us stay afloat this week. <3 Love you guys.
Love this friendship. Makes mummy a little bit emotional.

101 Challenge: Things that I'm finding....challenging
I've got a secret.
This 101 challenge is hard!
I knew it wasn't going to be easy but I think I've made things really hard on myself by making some of the challenges "blah blah blah....every week". Some weeks I don't even know where they've gone let alone have been able to fit in a challenge here and there.
And I could change some of them, I know none of you are following me that closely, but I would know. So I want to share it with you all. They're hard and in the interests of keeping my sanity, making myself feel good for all the achievements I have made and finishing the list - I'm tweaking. Not all of them, and it will still be a challenge for sure, just...tweaking, zhuzh if you will. It's being done! Here we go....
#9) take a batch of muffins or cookies toevery one of our management (and maybe some team) meetings.
is becoming "to some of our..." - sorry management team! :P
#32) Send a personal letter, every week. Buy a letter writing set to do this with.
is becoming "Send 10 personal letters this year.....by snail mail"
#70) Wear no black one day every week. - TOO HARD BASKET!
is becoming "buy more colourful clothes - not just black!"
Which, because I have had this challenge in the back of my mind but not adhering to, I've been doing quite well at!
So that's it... not really too much cheating going on is it? And just to make up for it, here is one challenge that I am crossing off, starting tonight. :D
86. Go to Photography club with Lynn.14th February 2012
Also, just for good measure, and to show that I'm still chugging along with many of my challenges. Here is a photo from one such moment where I'm getting out and exploring the wider Auckland region's parks and reserves.
