Welcome to the another ‘Taking Stock’ post for 2017. If you are new to Teacher by trade, Mother by nature (WELCOME) you can read all of my ‘Taking Stock’ posts HERE. Pip from Meet Me At Mike is the mastermind behind this series, so be sure to check out her blog. This is something I have been doing since I started blogging and will continue to do this year – I love looking back at previous months. In a nutshell, it’s simply taking a step back and ‘taking stock’ of what’s currently happening in your life. 

Reading: my latest ‘KonMari With Kids’ post – KIDS ARTWORK. How do you organise your kids artwork?

Needing: some new items for my ‘Winter Wardrobe’. This is my second season of Project 333. The first went really well, so I am going to continue…I would love to add blush pink and more earthy tones to my wardrobe. For more information about Project 333, check out Be More With Less. 

Enjoying: watching my son have fun at Playcentre. His confidence has grown so much in the past 6 months. I love it.

Looking: forward to printing my Project Life. This year I am going to do weekly spreads, and planning to do monthly catch ups of previous years, using the Project Life App.
Do you use Project Life to document your life?

Getting: #inthepicture with my kids. They are my world.

Wishing: my living room would look like this ALL THE TIME. That being said, it doesn’t actually take long to tidy up at the end of the day.

Buying: some marble vinyl from KMart and covered my Year Planner. I love a good #kmarthack. It matches Miss B’s new stationery set she got for her birthday.

Loving: my new hair! I bit the bullet and chopped about 25cm off! It feels so much lighter now.

Playing & Sorting: the toys in the playroom with my son on a Friday afternoon.

Admiring: our family photos. I finally updated the photo wall and it looks great. Love our family.

Feeling: heartbroken after losing a family member. She made a huge impact in my life and many others. I will miss her immensely. I captured this photo on the way to her funeral. Nature is truly a beautiful thing.

Celebrating: Master M & Miss B’s Birthdays! HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I shared Master M’s DINOSAUR PARTY on the blog – check it out HERE.

Finding: selfies of my kids on my phone. Love watching these two grow together. Best Friends x

Amy and I attended the Hamilton Gardens ” Mansfield Picnic” last month. This provided a great opportunity to style an outfit influenced by the Deco era! In this instance I selected a great tropical vintage maxi dress, pairing it with a classic straw boater hat. I styled my hair into a some classic 30’s waves and framed […]

This is a simple to make mask suitable for most skin types – and a great way to use up an avocado that’s getting a a bit over-ripe.

Easy Avocado Face Mask

To make this mask you will need:

• 1/2 of an avocado
• 2 tablespoons plain yoghurt
• 2 tablespoons liquid honey

Mash the avocado until smooth and creamy. Stir in the honey and yoghurt. You want a smooth consistency that’s not too runny.

Apply to clean, dry skin avoiding the area around your eyes. Leave for 10-15 minutes. Rinse of with warm water, then follow with your usual moisturiser.

This makes enough for one mask.

I first stumbled across the enticing play areas of the Matairangi Nature Trail, along the ridge line of Mt Victoria, on one of my long runs. I couldn’t wait to grab an opportunity to bring my two youngest children to explore, climb and play. I’ve always loved walking and running the town belt trails of […] Continue reading →
