LOVE

I Love the word Love!

It has one meaning but the object of Love can be so very different.

I Love God and every aspect of Him.

I Love my husband Brad, I Love him even more today than on our wedding day.

I Love my family, I Love the way they Love me back and I Love the way they make me feel.

I Love my friends, I Love that I have been so very blessed to have people that stand by me, support me and Love me.



I Love being at home.
I Love fresh flowers sitting on my dining table.
I Love a glass of red wine.
I Love it when you cook something and it turns out great.
I Love a clean bathroom.
I Love ticking things of my 'to do' list and feeling a sense of achievement.
I Love chocolate.
I Love hearing the postman arrive because I always think he is posting something exciting in my letter box.
I Love pretty things.
I Love walking with Brad in the evening.
I Love being inspired.

100 words

Recently, over coffee at a local cafe, my dear friend Cat was telling me about this challenge called 'The 100 word challenge'. Bec originally launched it on her blog (i think) and Cat was also getting involved and suggested that it would also be a great thing for me to do.
I thought why not? Sounds fun! I have some free time right now so thought I'd get started. I have taken Cat's list and adjusted it slightly.
Hope I can keep motivated for 100 posts!

Enjoy xx

I am home!

As most of you know I was lucky enough to go to England with Brad for 6 weeks over Dec/Jan.

We got back 1 week ago and have been thrust back into life once again.
We visited my sister and her husband in England and got to see such beautiful European sights whilst travelling around in a motor home. It was an amazing time to always remember and cherish. There is something about returning to your HOME though. I am loving being back in my own environment and surrounded by my fave things.
It made my realise how lucky and blessed I am.
I already miss my sister and brother in-law though!

Me and Rosemary

After returning from our WONDERFUL overseas adventure my rosemary bush was beyond flourishing.
I love Rosemary - The look, the scent, the taste - I love it! I couldn't bear to cut it back and waste a single piece, so here is a few things I did with my rosemary, not one piece wasted I can enjoy it fully!

Chicken skewers on rosemary twigs.

Drying rosemary.

Sprigs in vases around the house.

Two

Well you guessed it! Brad and I have been married TWO years! I can't believe it was TWO years ago, how time flies.
We had a wonderful evening. We went to Hargreaves Hill brewery in Yarra Glen for tea and it was mouth watering. (Check out 'Foodies Monday')
Here is a description of the menu we ate.
"Slow roasted pork belly with macadamia, walnut and pistachio farce and a char grilled pear salad with mustard vinaigrette and a glass of Sedona Estate 2006 Merlot"
AMAZING!
Its been a massive two years but a wonderful one!

White paint and Christmas craft

Since finishing full time study and getting past exams and assignments, I have had a bit more time to do some creative things at home and also some crafty preparation for Christmas time.
I painted our brown brick fire place white and I am so happy with the finished product. It brightens up the room and really creates a lovely centre piece.

Brad and I are going over to England on December the 10th (exciting!!!) and so we are having a family and friends (separate) Christmas party. I decided to make my own bon bons this year (first time). I am going for a red and white colour theme and the bon bons in the shop just were not doing it for me.

My freshly painted white fire place. It was a horrid glazed brown brick.
Paint - $8
Brush - $5

My new "love" vase from my visit to Robert Gordon - LOVE!

Bits and pieces involved.

The finished product - just what I wanted!
