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...

Loving my extra large mug!  This baby can hold 2 cups - and sometimes 2 cups of coffee is just perfect (but not too often)...


Loving our new family board game!  Apparently one of the best out there - anyone else have Ticket to Ride?


Loving my favourite microwave chocolate pudding recipe.  Easy to make and perfectly declicious!


Loving yarn, in any colour...


Loving Kiwiana cards.  My Great Grandmother used to have her own set of flying ducks on her wall.


Link love - Loving Timmy Curren's free music!  He's a surfer (one of my childhood surfing heroes), a believer and awesome musician. Loving PicMonkey, especially now that Picnik is disappearing from freebie land!  Loving this list of Craft Blogs - great inspiration out there.

Loving making AND eating Blondies (no, I'm not referring to my blonde children).  This slice is like a Brownie minus the cocoa (get it - brownie... blondie).  Will share the recipe next week.


Loving this book, and can't wait to see the movie!


Loving it when my kids beg me to take photos of them...


Loving it when my kids are strong enough to say 'no' to me taking photos of them...  ;)


Is it crazy of me to secretly enjoy occasionally playing with my girl's Blythe dolls?


Looooooooooooooooooooooving Whittaker's White Macadamia Chocolate!!!  Seriously good (but maybe not as good as the Lindt Bunny I bought for my friends birthday last week, then ate with Symon that night) .  Whoops - sorry Nina.


Loving the amazing blessings that come along my path in the form of precious family and friends (you know who you are).  Thank you!

Woohoo!!!
