Choosing my battles

On the holidays the boys take it in turns to choose which cereal we buy. Nathan chose Milo last week. Cameron chose Milo Duo this week. Well Nathan has decided that he doesn't want to eat the 'white' bits, wont even try them. So I picked them out for him. Not sure if that was a good idea, but I did it. Sometimes it's easier to roll with the punches rather than fight them, so I choose my battles.

Mind you, this morning he had to pick out the white bits on his own.

School Holidays!

I'm so glad it's the school holidays. It is so nice to stay in my jammies till midday (hoping that no-one calls in as that would be embarrassing - not because I'm in my PJs but because my hair is sticking up everywhere!!). This morning I've been reading a blog that I've found again. The Pioneer Woman. I love her blog, she talks about her life in such an interesting way, she takes awesome photos and has tips on using Photoshop to make your photos better. I love how she calls her hubby 'Marlboro Man' - he is a real-life cowboy after all ;) She's inspired me to start blogging again. So here I am...

Anyway, I wont ramble on about it, I'll let you go and explore it yourself. The Pioneer Woman.

Plans and Procrastination

Plans are all very well and good, but if you don't follow through, they are a waste of time and energy.

Having said that, I have heaps of plans.

Plans for our garden, plans for finishing our reno, plans for sewing all sorts of things, plans to spend more time with my boys and my husband, plans to get organised these holidays, plans for stuff at work, long term plans, short term plans. Plans, plans, plans.

Plans without action are just that: Plans. So today I 'plan' to action some of my plans. So the 'plan' for today is to do some sewing (I've got a hooded towel order that I need to get finished) and to spend some quality time with my boys - Thanks for the reminder Mother Duck! ;-)
