20 This Happened Whittakers Peanut Butter chocolate.  Need I say anymore really? Descriptive works are yum, relish, more-ish, delightful, all gone. 21 Season Autumn in Sydney can be freezing one day and then a gorgeous sunny day the next.  I like a good mix of both.  I like being outdoors and feeling the warmth on my skin going for a walk, but I also like having a couch day with a good movie, glass of red and blanket.  Autumn in Sydney is pretty good. Like the name for a girl also. 22 Mess Tiggy in a mess of christmas decorations. Trying to pack them away #regram #flashback  he doesn't really make a mess in the house, but enjoys being involved in all things ribbon, empty bags or boxes. 23 Snack Cheesecake. Work event at The Grand Chancellor Hobart.  I organised all the lunches and snacks as I originally wasn't attending the two day offsite (so I chose what I liked, even thought I wasn't there) but ended up going at the last minute.

13 Paper Left over wrapping paper from my niece's birthday presents still laying around and very colourful.  Love collecting left over paper and keeping it to collate for next birthday or event. 14 Up Look up to the sky and see.  Gorgeous skyline on my way to work this morning and loved that the prompt was up. I always find motivation and the sky as a museum with pictures in the clouds. 15 Dinner Our favourite soup..... see here I blogged about it there! 16 Where I work My new desk in our new office been there nearly a month! Love putting up pictures and cards to remind me how great life is when I am stressed and quotes to motivate me when I need. Peppermint tea helps also! 17 An ordinary moment Feeling very ordinary with a chesty cough and was under the blankets and watching my new favourite tv show "House of cards", with the fabulous Kevin Spacey who is not so ordinary. 18 Fluffy Our little team mascot at Coogee United is "Mo

6  Shape Easter Sunday was Elissa's 3rd Birthday - our gorgeous little niece.  She was super spoilt by Uncle Drew & Aunty Donna receiving her square wrapped present she was super excited to see what was inside and was very happy withe TMNJ tent.   7 Beauty Flashback to travelling to the Great Ocean Road this year, which is just truly mother nature showing of her beauty.  Gorgeous and beautiful creations carved out by the energy of the planet and tides.   8 Breakfast I just luurve blueberries!  I don't remember the first time I ate fresh ones but I know it wasn't until in my late twenties, maybe even in London or Europe.  They were never available where I grew up and only were in tins or pre-made muffins etc.  I love them. I eat them out of the container, with almonds or on cereal, in yoghurt, with chocolate!!  I always get value for money as i eat the entire punnet in two days! 9 Inspired Heading out to my osteo appt on the 9th April I had to

Got a little emotional this week.

Ever since we lost our baby in February I have definitely had some ups and downs. I feel that writing and sharing my thoughts with readers not only helps me release emotions, but from the PMs that I have received (which has totally made me feel warm & fuzzy) I know that it helps others in many different ways. I have had people share tough stories with me and revealing that not many people know about, which is truly heartwarming. We all have dealt with loss at some stage in our lives and a loss is always hard to deal with. So lately some days I am great, peachy and know that we do have some time to try again for another baby. But there are days when life just kicks you in the fucking pants you know. You know what, that is ok. It is ok to have those days because that means you are human, you feel things.  I feel the loss so much and sometimes feel empty. Somedays I feel lucky to have gotten pregnant at all when so many cannot. I had joined a few pregnancy apps and rolled them up t

Really love celebrating the Festival of Me because it is my day (month) and a great time to celebrate and look forward to my new year - being an aries I see my birthday as the start of the year. 24 Treasure This man is truly my treasure.

My how quickly a week goes when you are busy and you forget to do your blogposts.... anyhoo. 30 On my table Extending the festival of Donna celebrations with a delicious dinner with my fav lady Justin at Niji Sushi in Kingsford. Divine company and great food. On my table was my fav sashimi and scallops.

Week 12 was a great prompt week. Really enjoyed this week's challenge. 16 After Sometimes I find watching Tiggy for ages, watching him explore both inside and outside and always manages to have fun. A good reminder I thought. So after being inside all day whilst the humans work he gets tonrun around outside for a few hours (no kitty door you see) and he just seems so content. I would like to come back as a kitteh! 17 Hobby Hobbies used to range from stamp collecting, penpals (with hand-written letters, stamps), collecting posters of 80's bands and pop stars to taking photos with a sun camera. Now they are more digital. One of my favourites currently is the photo a day challenge. It challenges me to not only look around and be inspired by the prompt of the day, but I also get to write about my piccie and meet new online friends who also do the challenge and share their pictures on social media. Not bad for a Gen X. 18 Text This prompt went through many thou
