Place: my bedroom

Poison: bbq

Favourite things: fireworks

On our porch tonight we crushed as many people as we could to watch the royal show fireworks.

What is it with fireworks, the normally verbous bunch, were silenced by crazy lights in the sky that after a few minutes were gone.

Thousands if dollars, limited time yet oh so breathtaking. Not sure what it is, but being silenced by something bigger than me whilst squashed on my porch was my kind of end to a long weekend. Really love it!

Fireworks, frivolous and short lived yet oh so ahhhhhhhh

Place: in car

Poison: honey and macadamia homemade icecream

Favourite things: Mariah, tayla, Charlie, Jen and belinda

Today the girls disappeared into the forrest to run away and gather coffee for the sanity of the campsite.

Whilst the whole male population watched the grand final, us girls ate ice cream and drunk hot chocolate and flat whites…

Home made icecream is to die for. The little old lady in the tearoom was a delight, she got out her antiques compendium to find me the rarest green tea cups in the world right now.

Delightful.

Run away with your loved ones and sit in the glow of their company.

It turns an ordinary day into a life long memory.

The day the girls ran away to have coffee and homemade icecream.

Yum!

Favourite things: the royal show next week.

Hot off the heels of a big event week, I am still trying to decide whether I should go camping with my family this long weekend or not. I know once I get there I will be so into it, yet the pain of packing, driving, the dirt and the like is always a little annoying.

Yet the organic echo of the bush is so rewarding.

Why do we settle when these little adventures are fabric in the quilt of our children’s memories?

My nieces and nephews are absolutely buzzing about aunty manda coming camping, yet I am all inspired out.

Talking to myself here “it’s a choice amanda, to choose a little pain for great reward.”

What is it that you are putting off?Regarding your family that will make such a difference in the lives of your most loved. A trip to the museum, the library, camping, booking time off for a family holiday, that family portrait gift certificate that sits unredeemed.

The pain is only ever short lived but brings opportunity for great reward!!!

I think I have just made the decision if I’m going camping this long weekend…
