Point & Shoot: Birthday Wishes

It was my birthday last week and I turned 32.  It seems kind weird to see that number on screen, I really don't feel that number.  I had such a busy day planned on my birthday and it wasn't all fun, in fact it was a lot of driving around lugging kids in and out of the car and following up business issues for my husband.  There was no cuppa in bed, but to my surprise, my hubby came home at 9.30 and spent the day with me and the kids.

Instead of lost of driving around with the kids, I was able to go kid free...yay, i'm sure you all realise how much easier it is to just pop out to pick up a few things without the kidlets. It is amazing!

After completing all my errands, we all headed out for lunch in Subi and to pick up a bargain I got off Gumtree.  Lunch was wonderful, Hubby fed the kids while I sat back and soaked in the suns rays and sucked up a big fat chocolate milkshake!!  We headed back home for the boys to have their afternoon, and i even managed to fit one in for myself - I am not a napper, I actually hate naps - I just don't feel the same when i wake up - I'm not left feeling refreshed, in fact, completely the opposite.  It takes me a good 30min to get withit and wake up.  Its worse than waking up in the morning...haha

I was amazed at how many birthday wishes and messages I received that day, you know I really felt loved.  awwwww.  All my friends and family sure know how to make this girl feel better.  

I am so lucky to have such a great husband that spoils me and writes mushy romantic birthday card messages and am so lucky to have kids that singing "Happy Birthday cake" to me all day.  You Rock Family!!

Although I didn't get to see my mum & dad on my actual birthday, we did make up for it by heading out to lunch at one of my most favourite places in Fremantle - Little Creatures.  It's such a wonderful, relaxed, laid back pub, it even has a large kids sandpit out the back.  The weather wasn't the best for stting outside, but that didn't stop the kids - they had a ball out there.  My folks even took it turns watching the kids so i could enjoy some kid free time with my friends.

Thanks all for a wonderful birthday, turning 32 doesn't seem that bad after all...

Firsts.

Today is a day of firsts.

My First ever post.  My First Blog.  A first time blogger, but a long time follower of some of my favourite blogs - check them out and see for yourself.

I guess I am behind the 8 ball for starting a blog.  Everyone's doing it.  But it's something I wanted to do way back when my first son was born (2009), but just never got round to it - as you do.  So with fresh new year, i decided to create this blog.  Yes the title is a play on the Eat Pray Love, but all the other ones i wanted have already been taken - see note about the 8-ball!

So it may have taken 6 weeks to get to my first post - but i'm here and i am not going anywhere.  The main reason for starting this blog is to record my family's journey through everyday life.  Life is so busy and we always have the best intentions to preserve our memories, but sometimes there are just not enough hours in a day.  I figured if i could find half an hour somewhere in my day to write a little about what goes on in our day to day life, we might just be able to look back one day and see just how good life was/ still is.

I have butterflies in my tummy as i type this first post....will anyone read it, does it really if matter if no one follows it.  This is about me, my little family, my love of photography and all the little crafty things in between.


And...This is for my family to follow - to see what things the kids have been up too.  To show her how quickly they are growing up, in the weeks that we don't get to see each other.
