January Day 25

Day 25 "Something you made"

 

This is something I am very proud of that I made, my glass splashback. I worked for about 6 years making glass art windows and splashbacks. When I got my own house and decided to renovate I knew I would not be happy with tiles or flat glass and the only thing for my kitchen was something uniquely designed and made by me.

 

January Day 24

Day 24 "Guilty pleasure"

I asked my Husband what he thinks my guilty pleasure is, I couldn't think of anything. His response was chocolate. Whilst it is true that I do enjoy chocolate and may over indulge from time to time, I don't actually feel any guilt about it. Why would I feel guilty about enjoying chocolate if i'm not dieting, I don't count calories and no one has told me not to eat chocolate. 

Then I started to think about what does make me feel guilty? My answer to that is spending money on things I don't need. So my guilty pleasure would have to be iced coffee frappes from McDonald's. I really enjoy the taste but I try to avoid buying them because it's money that could be better spent on other things. Today I decided to spend a little money on myself and indulge in an iced coffee frappe.   

January Day 23

Today the category was "something old".

My something old is my nan's jewellery. I look after this for my nieces and my daughter so I can one day pass it down to them. I didn't get along with my nan when she was alive, I felt like she had some resentment towards me for being the first one born after my brother passed away from SIDS. She once told me that I would not be around if he had not died (I was in primary school at the time). One of my biggest fears has been that I will one day turn out as miserable as my nan was. My nan died when I was in my last year of high school, when she was on her death bed she reached out and held my hand. When she held my hand it was the closest I had ever felt with my nan, it was as if she had finally made peace with me. The older I get the more I understand about why my nan was so bitter, she had a rough life and had been through more than her fair share of pain. I have a greater appreciation for what a strong woman my nan was now that I am older and know more about her life.
 

January Day 22

Today's Category is "your shoes"

My shoes are comfy and are my favourite colours pink, purple and blue. I have a lot of other shoes too but these are the ones I wear most the time.

January Day 21

Day 21 " reflection"

Jumped in bed about to turn on the laptop and noticed my reflection on the screen. I think i spend a little too much time with my laptop.

January Day 20

Day 20 "Someone you love"

I love my husband but he really hates getting his photo taken. This is the best I could get today.

Here are three reason why I love my husband:

1. He lets me sleep in. On the mornings when he's not working he gets up and looks after our daughter when she wakes up so i can stay in bed a little longer.

2. He cheers me up with his jokes, even though they are mostly lame jokes.

3. He let me have the last bit of chocolate :) How sweet is that 

January Day 19

Day 19 "Sweet"

Today I spent a little time in the kitchen and made these tasty sweets. Sherbet Marshmallow Cones for me and my husband. Yummy. I made some on the weekend for my daughters party but missed out on getting any for myself as they were very popular and went very quickly.
