Simplify..

My word for this year is

I'm not sure whether is a lack of time management at home or just the fact that there is too much to do.... either way its time to simplify and get back to enjoying the little things....

on that note - i have decided not to do shuttercal this year, I love to go back and check out our life in pics but it is a great relief to know the world wont end if I miss a day and that I wont have to spend the time downloading....
instead I think i will share some of my instagram pics on this blog.

I went and saw this at the movies last night

probably nothing fantastic for most but i am a sucker for these movies that share in so many different lives... i very much enjoyed it.

Just been hanging at home this week and loving getting up at 8:30/9 with nothing pressing to do....
went to the beach on thur, it was such a great day with perfect weather and waves...

It's been pretty hot around here, so much so that even the bees had to get out for a bit of fresh air...

on our theme of simplifying we have realised that we only have limited time left to hang with the kids (they are 9 and 11) Ten years seems like a long time but by golly the last 10 tore by pretty quick.... anyway Shane has decided to sell his beloved bike so we can put the money towards a pool and he has one less thing to try to cram into our weekends. (he didn't have much time to get cold feet - it sold in less that 24 hours)

as you've probably noticed Talos likes to grab Koda around the neck so we have started putting euky bear rub (like vicks) on his neck to stop it...check out Talos' tongue.... not happy.

and my LO for this post is the yearly kids chrissy page....

Tilll later
