Friday morning

Morning beautiful Friday! Three days ahead of us which to be filled with...studying, studying and a little studying.  The heat has been bearable this time around so we're really enjoying Summer.

Little P's chubby legs are out for all to see which puts a big, wide grin on my face. He's growing so quickly, nearly walking and two extra choppers have just appeared.

Ahh...I can hear him now - just woken from a 14 hour sleep...which means this mother also had some rest.  Ready for a full weekend of studying!

Heating up

Each day is becoming just a little warmer, which is a helluva lot nicer than a 20 degree jump from one day to the next.

Early this morning Piet and I got out into the garden (Piet literally) and gave it a good water so it survives the next few days.

Last year this echinacea was eaten to the ground by rabbits, but is slowly growing back...I love him

After watering, the cobwebs started to appear in the sunlight, they're pretty special, sparkling away like jewels.

Summer sun in one's eyes...

This year I've decided to try and achieve one 'great' thing each month. (Besides looking after a toddler, husband, house, garden, working and studying). Something that I makes feel good - or even better that it's over :-)

For the first month of the year I've succeeded in completing a 4,000 word case-study as part of my MBA.  Reading, analysing and writing while looking after a toddler seemed the most ridiculous thing to attempt and is probably what kept me away from the blog for so long, but the minute I sent it up to the 'Cloud' at Deakin Uni for marking a HUUUGE weight lifted off my shoulders and I sensed the beginning of 2014 being a great year! Woo hoo to me!

Contemplating

I've been contemplating life for the last month, thinking many things through, so haven't felt much like writing at all. And really, after such a long time off, I couldn't think of how to start when I returned!?!

But gosh it feels good to...just write...bloggers block indeed.....

We had a ball over the Festive break, my little family and I.  Many pictures to come, and stories to tell. Now little P is a little older he was great fun to take out and about. I think I've dealt with the fact that I don't live in Sydney anymore, but can still have fun on this farm and in this state of Victoria.  I just need to start exploring, take on something new, stop telling myself 'you can't' and showing myself 'you can'.

2014, I'm gonna tackle you head-on...
