i went and stayed with mum because i had first aid course in kadina

do you know what was super fun about first aid (who knew there was anything fun about first aid) i was told i was in a full day class but when i got there he told me i only had to stay 2.5 hours as it was a CPR refresher. yay!

we went walking around kadina and also went for a walk on the beach at wallaroo. i love walking and chatting with mum

and this was last week when it was hot

because i got out of first aid so early i bought some journal making supplies, packed some fried rice and water and had a picnic in my favourite park. i so enjoyed having nothing to do but make and eat, enjoy old familiar trees that ive grown up visiting often. so nice to just sit and watch the world wizz by while relaxed my mind

i wrote my very fist page (theres nothing like filling that very first journal page!)

heres my new stainless steel drink bottle that i got after reading this about sigg (i used to use a sigg bottle) If you use a sigg bottle i recomend you read that link and decide for yourself if you still want to use it. i was pleased to discover that my new bottle still fits into my favourite cover

my new journal. the sticker at the bottom says dreams and wishes

what to do when its a million degrees

this week is a hot hot hot one. so what do you do if its your day off and its just far to hot to do.. well anything!!

i like to start by busting out the picnic blanket and some nice cushy cushions. the bigger and cushier the better. don't worry i have no intentions of leaving the house, the perfect picnic relaxation spot today is the lounge room floor

right under the air con!

put on favourite new dress so as to feel super pretty and take photo of self while standing on bath

make ice tea and fill with many many ice cubes. drink fast because the ice cubes wont last long

have a yummy brekkie of strawberries, banana and yogurt. get all happy that its like eating desert for brekkie but its sugar free and healthy, yay fun:) get enough books journals and funky coloured pens that you wont have to get up until this nasty hot weather is gone for the day

last but not least hook up ipod and put on music that will make you feel like your at the beach on a warm evening swimming and sipping pina coladas (however you spell that) I put on jack johnson "sleep through the static' album that always reminds me of his awesome concert last year and going on this awesome holiday. ahh bliss!

wherever you all are hope you all have a cool and fabulous day!!!

heres my chicabees at 3 weeks old.

last weekend we went to my sister annekes place and had an absolute ball like always. i got some great stuff at her local trash and tressure market and we spent some time at her beautiful beach. and of course as usual i was having so much fun that i forgot to take photos except this one which i love (excuse the camera phone poor quality)
