Thankful…

Grateful Friday is having a bit of a rest at the moment, but it is ANZAC Day today and while I fall very much on the side of ‘peace-loving anti-war hippy’ I feel compelled to post a little something anyway.
I don’t really know anyone who has been to war… or at least not anyone who […]

Grateful Friday into the Future?

Here we are at another ‘Grateful Friday’ and I am contemplating the future of them.
I’ve really enjoyed to push to focus on the good things each week, but I have to admit that I feel a bit ‘constrained’ having to make my post each Friday something I am grateful for. I am not big […]

Oh My Grateful Friday….

So I am a bit late with being grateful this week, but I have a really good excuse! This week has been just crazy! God, bad, wonderful and crazy! I even missed a day blogging - did you notice?
Lots to be grateful for, and this week I am making a big effort to find the […]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrateful Friday

Funny how by Friday I am always ready to sell one of my children….ok not always, but I’d happy ship off the two larger ones this afternoon. They have done nothing but pick and pick at each other all day. Usually they spend more time as best friends than as enemies but the balance is […]

So Much to be Thankful For (on Friday!)

(Muski - specially for Tiff!)
My Grateful Friday post is an easy one to write this week.
Yesterday we visited to Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne. The Twinadoes had skin scratch tests done to find out what they are allergic to and how severely they react. The tests went well, they confirmed what we already suspected; […]

It’s that time of the week again - Grateful Friday

Grateful Friday is a little motivator to help us all remember to be thankful. Even when it feels like the whole world is against us, and everything is going wrong, it helps just to take a moment and remember something good, something to be grateful for.
There are no ‘rules’. It doesn’t matter if you post […]

Grateful Friday goes party mode!

The end of another week and it’s time to party!

This week’s grateful Friday post has been hijacked by the Ultimate Blog Party! Sadly it looks like all the party traffic may have crashed Five Minutes for Mom’s server so I can’t sign up with the linky and follow all the posting rules at the moment […]

Grateful Friday

I was going to add a really great photo and write about all kinds of stuff. I was also going to make some banners for every day of the week (why be restricted to Friday yeah?) but instead I only have one thing to be grateful for this week….
I am grateful that I managed to […]

Yet Another Friday to be Grateful For…

Little hand and blackberries.

Two pairs of little hands with purple stained finger tips. They are careful of the prickles. They know not to pick the red ones. They search deep into the brambles looking for the big, juicy, purple berries. They want to make jam but little hands pop more berries in their mouths than […]

Friday Already?

This week has slipped by in a flurry of tantrums and trips to and from kinder. Everyone is tired and grumpy and in a ‘nobody loves me’ kind of mood, and we have to do it all over again in a few days time!
Still, here I am, trying to decide what to be grateful for […]
