I find I am starting to relax a little more and have come to the conclusion I don’t always have to be super mum, its ok if the folding doesn’t get done straight away ( it certainly hasn’t been lately) and the dishwasher isn’t unstacked by 7am...<br /><br />We have been doing some work on our house lately (do you find with Christmas looming you try and get all those half started jobs completed? we seem to do this every year and this year is no exception). My amazing hubby is building a lovely back deck at our place so construction is under way.

We had a really great weekend, I got the chance to catch up on some orders, we spent a lovely Saturday night with family and also celebrated our 11th Wedding Anniversary something which I am SO proud to say. In this day and age I just don't know that many people that have been married (or even together) for many years. With both Brad and I coming from parents who weren't together as we were growing up, our marriage is something we are both really proud of (not saying its always easy but I think those though times have also made for a better marriage too).<br /><div></div><br /><div>On Sunday my big boys headed off to the <a href="http://www.willowbank-raceway.com.au/events/detail.aspx?EventGroupID=30">Motorbikes</a> and had an awesome time and I even snuck in a little afternoon nap with the littlest one while the house was nice and quiet. Sax was SO excited he go to sit on a proper race bike (although he was a bit upset when he asked Brad if they could bring it home with them and the answer was no) I think maybe he needs to do a little bit more growing before we can even consider a motorbike.</div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 275px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508377403841334818" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqcErKJetCX8P-Hh48n5t_eG2yuGXbNmlXHouBPOaGZrsYGibebGLFXylc5kvM61RDR9NQEN8ybAgTUzZfxkfDDyiG1y_5-4TrbuHmcQ5cV0uSE-1mGMjCgbtYOfTU5H48tuHuRWrz60U/s400/sax+on+bike+low+res.jpg" />Today we are hoping to go and catch up with some friends at the park for afternoon tea, so I am just hoping the rain clouds blow over by then.

But after Sax had a fall yesterday and got a bump on his head (He's fine now) all that went out the window, so instead we had a lovely day getting back in our Pj's, snuggling on the lounge reading books and even managing a Nana nap. Then to make the day even better, Brad came home early to catch up on some paperwork from home, but it was nice to just have his presence around while we lounged.<br /><br />I even managed to whip up a loaf of Banana bread with Choc chips and cups of tea for afternoon tea.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcr5aFe3KX_LVDdDcaHyFGv7uvwSj85HzItNgMrw_N0frdKHda-D0hrlnAzeaUXQdDtFnKI7Xt9y73pA9F7RxkstG7u-ZL0LQtv4qEVqvij4ERZyA5lGR4GH7kPvfwaa8aTy4aAIyDpxc/s1600/bananda+bread.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 220px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcr5aFe3KX_LVDdDcaHyFGv7uvwSj85HzItNgMrw_N0frdKHda-D0hrlnAzeaUXQdDtFnKI7Xt9y73pA9F7RxkstG7u-ZL0LQtv4qEVqvij4ERZyA5lGR4GH7kPvfwaa8aTy4aAIyDpxc/s400/bananda+bread.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483156388476526978" border="0" /></a>Bliss!<br /><br />Bel xEmBelISHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14559251399440498280noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7261546144846997443.post-23090956651131627772010-06-07T21:53:00.002+10:002010-06-07T21:58:18.944+10:00ETSY Love...I was lucky enough last week to be featured in not one but two ETSY treasuries.
