hello lovely friendlikins!

how are you? hope all is well with your soul! how's your october been? did you do anything for halloween? we didn't, but it's not really a thing here in australia. there's a few kids who'll dress up + go trick or treating but it's pretty rare. october was the hottest month on record, and it showed itself with sunshiney days, terrible heat + bush fires! and of course, it now feels like winter {i'm wearing a hoody at this very mo!}

in october i worked on ways to tweak my planner + general organisation of life. i'm trying to figure what system is best for me + my productivity - so i can be using my time wisely + for God's glory! i LOVE stationery! i'm keen to get my planner all ready for 2014 : D do you use a planner? are you a filofax fan? or do you like to keep on top of things the techy way? i like a mix of both - but still learning to keep both updated!

another exciting thing in october was that tommy + i scored free tickets to see the GREAT MOSCOW CIRCUS! how did we come across such awesomeness? well, it's handy to have a sister-in-law with kids, who happens to be given them by a complete stranger at the shops, due to his no longer being able to use the tickets! so on that very night, tommy + i were off to see the circus! it was so much fun! it was tommy's first time to the circus, and i hadn't seen the circus since i was little, when they still had the lions + elephants! the great moscow circus is like a mix between a traditional circus + cirque dis olei. it was theatrical, hilarious, nerve-racking, exciting, and there were amazing costumes + AMAZING performers! guess what?!? tommy was chosen by one of the clowns to do a booty dance in the centre ring! it was tre hilarious : P if the great moscow circus is in town - you should check them out!

what adventures did you have in october? planned any for november?

love love

{i LOVE...}

{birthday/CHRISTmas wish list}







hello lovely friendlikins!

how are you? how are you REALLY doing? are you well? are you stressed? sick? over-the-moon?! today i am feeling pretty meh... i have a cold, i'm still SUPER dehydrated + other unpleasant lady times. how do you deal with meh times? do you get all cranky + whingey + sad? or do you pretend your'e not feeling meh + pretend your'e super woman instead?! i must admit there are times that i have been both, sometimes all on the same day!

this is how i'm tackling meh times today:

* i started the morning reading God's word + in prayer {asking for healing + strength + perspective}

* listening to this song over + over again {it makes me happy!}

* i had a nap + snuggle with the kitties

* drinking yummy milo

* staying in my pj's

* showering {feeling all clean + fresh + lovely}

* i'll do some crocheting

* drink LOTS of water!

* get some non-taxing things done on my to do list

* making my birthday/CHRISTmas wish list {i seem to have a thing for vintage teal things!}


the plan is basically to rest + do nice things + be productive but most of all to find my strength in Jesus, and do all things for His glory! what or who do you find your strength in? does it get you through tough days + meh times? Jesus has gotten me through the worst of worst times! He's GOOD like that : )

have you thought about what you'd like for CHRISTmas? or is it too far away? or are we wish list twins? did you know that there are 65 days til the end of the year? CRAY!

drop in again soon, lovelies!

love love

hello lovely friendlikins!

how are you this hot + toasty day? hope your'e staying cool by the pool or nomming on icypoles! since we're nearly halfway through october already {eek - where has the year gone!},  i thought it would be a good time to share how i went with the september photo a day challenge:

tommy + i fell in love with this lovely teal bike - tommy even left a love note for the owner!


i generally don't complete the whole challenge, as i like to take photos of things that i actually like, and if it happens to fit in with the challenge then i hashtag it appropriately. it doesn't bother me that i don't finish it. the reason why i started doing the photo a day challenge was to get me snapping! and i think that has been a success : ). 
have you been snapping up glimpses of your life + the lovely things around you too? do you have an instagram? or do you prefer to use facebook or flickr? feel free to leave a link in the comments below, i would love to get a glimpse into your life too : )





maybe you'd like to join in with the october photo a day challenge - check out the deets here!


HAPPY SNAPPING!

love love
