Ten Good Things


Poincianas in bloom, flaunting their red blossoms and scattering them like rich carpet.

The imagination and honesty of a two year old.

Baby wearing - I can't think of a better place for my six month old to be than in my arms or in his sling, his head close enough to kiss. This third child is missing out on none of the cuddles.

A five year old's joy at taking a found nest and tiny blue egg shell to school for show and tell.

Parcel delivery drivers who are funny and kind.

Handmade ornaments with hand prints, glitter or drawings.

Old ladies who stop to tell me how beautiful my children are.

Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and Kewpie mayonnaise. Nom nom nom...

Lightning storms that thrash and pour throughout a yoga class, and remind you how small you are in the universe, in a good way.

Family Christmas traditions.

Ten good things

Toddler painting (and the first appearance of hands and feet on his people paintings!)

Planting seeds (lettuce, tomato, carrot, watermelon, sweet corn, peas, beans and poppies)

Trying new recipes (like this and this) and impressing my husband

Completing my first knitted raglan sleeve

Watching a few episodes of River Monsters each night with Dave (and learning weird and wonderful things about fish as a result)

The smell of just washed wooden floors

Climbing into bed with fresh, sun dried sheets

34 week ultrasounds with only good news

Finding new parks to explore with Cohen

Only three weeks remaining until my muchly missed sister comes home


What good things are you noticing these days?

A simple Christmas 
A pantry full of good food
The chance to just potter around the house and garden
New plants
Ticking the last things off the to-do list
A whole day to spend baking tomorrow if I so please
The Cooper St top I op-shopped yesterday, that fits my bump and shall be worn Christmas day
Rainy weather
All our photos up to date (finally) - printed, sorted, dated and in the albums
A little boy who can count to ten with me
