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.
Here are a few of the things I am loving at the moment...
Making my lovely Mum a special birthday cake yesterday... a chocolate cake with strawberry butter cream icing and chocolate hearts! Love you so much Mum!!
Cadbury Dairy Milk Mousse! Favourite flavour would have to be Caramel... delicious!!
Family bush walks... even though there was a few grizzles, someone stepped in a doggy doo, a few of us slipped over in mud, everyone got tired and we all got lost - we did have fun in the end (I think?)...
Being given my very own V60 PourOver by an awesome couple I know (thanks Chris & Ginny) who sell their amazing (roast to order) Beanlab coffee here.
Making my first ever Vlog! Linking up here with Gail at Delightfully Diva-ish. Now you can hear what I really sound like (my strange Kiwi Accent and husky voice) and also see me eating a carrot (haha). I dare you to join in and have a go!
Here's how you can join in....

ReplyDeleteYou're beautiful. And you dont sound too different to us. Our church also houses an international Bible School so we've got students representing many areas of the world.
