This week has been all rain, fog, mud and crazy wind. I am always cold and it seems to take me forever to warm up. It feels like winter is seeping into my bones.
But I don’t have time to worry about any of that because June is a crazy month and if I don’t keep plonking one foot in front of the other life will come crashing down around us.
To take my mind of the cold greyness here are some cool links I’ve discovered this week…
1. A reader asked how much a cup of butter weighs – I use this handy dandy conversion site.
2. Motherhood is Weird – oh Amber you couldn’t be more right.
3. Oh man… my kids baby photos are so pedestrian compared to these from Emilmedia.
4. Mobius strips – no, it’s nothing to do with Whales. Artchoo explains all.
5. I went to Crafternoon earlier this week. Good food, good hot chocolate, and good play dough. Great place for kids and adults if you are in Melbourne.
6. Want to help plant some trees without having to go outside into the cold?? Bosisto’s is aiming to plant a million trees in 2013 and you can help by buying any of the specially marked Bosisto’s Eucalyptus products.

My favourite smell is Finesse hair spray. Whenever I use it I’m transported back to my year 12 school camp in *ahem* 1993… (All the girls in my cabin used it!)
I was so happy then – although blissfully ignorant! It reminds me of being young and silly, when I didn’t have a care in the world and I thought life was perfect. Sigh.
A bit of a strange choice, but fragrances are usually linked to memories, and this one is my favourite.
Hi
My favourite smell is the lavender .i live the colour if lavender flowers and I have them in my garden .they r simply beautiful and that is the reason why I like its smell too
I love to plunge my nose into my canister of Earl Grey tea and just inhale, I do it every single time I make a cuppa…speaking of which
I’m currently studying aromatherapy and through all the hundreds of scents I have wafted past my nose I think one of my most favourite, healing smells is… bacon. On Sunday morning.
It usually means 3 things. First and foremost – I’m still in bed. Secondly, my gorgeous little girl is on her way down the hall for a big squeeze and last but not least my husband is cooking breakfast. Ahhhh!!! Sensory bliss.
I have a favorite smell in mind
And I really don’t know why
I don’t even like the stuff
Seriously I tell no lie!
A freshly brewed coffee
Is what does it for me
It really does make me smile
Without the “having to pee”
It started when I was living in London
I had the best boss ever!
He brewed his coffee everyday
No matter what the weather!
It’s definitely the smell of rain at the beach. A combination of my two favourite things.
