Coffee Date Friday :

If we were meeting for coffee today, I would probably by drinking water instead of tea to try and shake this "fuzzy head" that I have had these past few day .. which I know is due to lack of water and not getting a restful sleep ...

I would share with you that 3 weeks ago today I went for my operation, it seems almost like a lifetime ago .. I have another 3 weeks recovery to go , the days are pretty much the same and almost seem to merge together. I am feeling better and my wounds are finally starting to heal .. I am so ready for things to be back to normal ..

I would also share that my girls have touched my heart this week, the eldest came home last night with her edible creations from baking club, cakes truffles, chocolates and cupcakes with hand made roses.. So proud of her .. 

My second daughter surprised me this morning with a  handmade Valentines Card, it's these little moments that make everything worth while..

What else, I started operation sleep this week !! after weeks of my 3 year old going to sleep at 10-11pm each night I was one tired mommy.. This past two nights She has been asleep before 8.30 which is so refreshing just to enjoy those few hours of peace..

I would wish you a Happy Valentines Day xo

What would you share with me ??

Coffee Date Friday ::

Happy Friday !!

This is the first week in a long while that has dragged ... maybe it has something to do with the fact that my days at the moment are pretty much the same, whilst I recover from my operation ..

I am two weeks post-op and finally feeling more like my usual self. After a few set backs, a reaction to medication, more anti-biotic's and a leaky scar :( ..

If we were meeting for coffee/tea today i would be excited to see you and glad of some company ..

I would share with you that I am ready to kick start a more healthy lifestyle and exercise!! 

I am loving blogging at the moment and I am really grateful to have some really good blogging friends that have helped me out guest posting for those days where opening up the laptop was really unappealing..

I would also share with you how I am feeling a little lost at the moment , with regards to career and what to do with myself :( 

So how about you  ? What would you share with me ?

Another week that seems to have flown by .. although there hasn't been as much bed-hopping going on this week , I generally have felt more rested this week, apart from last night which consisted of lots of tossing and turning and a restless mind ..

If we were meeting for coffee/tea, I would probably need a little reassurance for my operation this afternoon.  I think the hardest part of the whole thing is leaving the girls, but I am so ready to start living my life again ..

I would also be sharing with you that I am so grateful for some great blogging friends that are helping me out by guest posting over the next couple of weeks, for those days where I just need to rest..

I am looking forward to getting back creating, I have so many ideas for simple DIYs to share with you all..

I have packed a blank notebook and this really cute kikki.k diary as well as "The Happiness Project" and Oprah's Biography .. 

What would you share with me ??

Have a great weekend.

If I thought last week went by quickly, this week went by like a flash !! So glad that the weekend is here though !! 

The school routine has been easier this week, but midnight bed-hopping has made me one tired mommy .

If we were meeting for coffee/tea today, we would be celebrating my baby girls 3 birthday, there would be Minnie Mouse cake and home-made cupcakes .. 

I would be Thanking you (all) for your support and kind words last week, I was glad I opened up about my upcoming surgery (next Friday).

I would share with you that I went for my Pre-Op appointment  yesterday, which went well and I had a lot of my questions answered.. 

I would be excited to tell you that I my No Sew Fabric Bow Tutorial , was accepted onto CraftGawker which has made my week !! Working on my photos is something that I hope to improve on this year too !!

This week I will be focusing on getting organised for next weekend.. 

Today though is a day of celebration, Minnie Mouse style !! Its hard to believe that she is already 3.. After a traumatic birth (emergency c-section ) at 34 weeks, she weighed only 4lbs .She has such a lovely nature, full of smiles..

What would you share with me ??

This week has flown by, so glad it is the weekend though. getting back into the routine has been tougher than i thought.  I am tired, looking forward to a small lay-in tomorrow and a movie with my girlie's. 

If we were having coffee (or tea) in my case, I would tell you that writing this post is part of my goals for my blog, being more intentional and personal about my content. 

I have been busy planing my baby girls 3rd birthday and even though I am having her party in a "play area" I am still going to decorate our home and bake a few goodies :)

I also received a letter from the hospital that confirmed my surgery  for the 24th of this month, I am both thankful and scared at the same time .. Not only am I worried about the surgery, the recovery, (6 weeks) , the 4 nights stay i am worried how my girls will cope , especially the youngest.. 

I would also tell you that I am loving blogging at the moment and feel that I am chasing my dreams at the moment ...

What would you share with me ??
