Lounging around in luxury

I love to see beautiful white chairs & sofas.

They look fantastic in this ink blue room don't you think?

I am assuming this lovely chair is in a bedroom being located near that gorgeous mirrored dresser.

 I can only imagine how glamorous the rest of the room must be. I expect it is very formal  due to the symmetry in the lamps & the grouping of art on the wall, but I think it would be a rather romantic space as well looking at the pretty mirror over the dresser.

How does your imagination recreate the rest of this room?

 I am visualising a tufted bed head & plush white bedding!

I dream of one day owning an ottoman like this one, only not in white.

 My family & white would never work well together, he he he!!!

I certainly wouldn't say I lounge in luxury but were not to shabby here either.

Oh that's right, I am not meant to be lounging at all, I am meant to be exercising.

Catch you all later.

 I am off to honour my new years goal to exercise consistently.

 So far, so good.

 I have been working out 3 x a week & next week I plan to up the ante to 4 x a week.

 I will be a yummy mummy before we know it.

YAY!!!!

How are you going with your goals, are you still on track?

My week

I have been a slack blogger this week & with NO real excuse other than I just didn't get around to it.

I have however taken the photo's for the two weekly photography challenges I have been participating in & I have also been staying true to my other new years goal of exercising consistently.

Now the theme for week 3's photo challenge over at

Family Volley

is "hands"

 The whole idea of this 52 week challenge is to slow down & notice the everyday things around you, so I chose to photograph Dream child No4's hands

She starts school in 10 days time & I am all to aware of how quickly she is growing up...

all those little dimples that she has instead of knuckles will disappear & her hands will transform into big kid hands, just like the rest of her body. She has really slimmed down & sprouted up this past year, she has lost all of that cute baby pudge that I love...

We call her our little "merbaby" because she will swim ALL day if you let her...

gotta love those dimples!

I really will miss hanging out with my little best friend all day, everyday, but I know she is just going to luuuurve school, she really is a little sponge, she uses words like "brilliant, fabulous, wonderful, awesome & delicious" in her everyday conversation & its so cute. I can't wait until she can write a story with this large vocabulary, I think it will be "Fabulous!"

Now the theme for week 3 over at Life with my 3 boybarians is

"I dreamed a dream"

I found this one rather difficult, which is why its called a challenge, he he he.

 I have many dreams, first & foremost obviously to build a house, but, how DO you photograph these things?

One dream I do have is to eventually travel.

I would love to travel around Australia first, you know, see my own back yard.

Australia has so many incredibly beautiful places to explore...

Once my kids are all older I would really love to travel overseas as well.

 I want to see some of the iconic cities of the world, like New York, Paris & London.

I would  like to experience Gallipoli on Anzac Day&I would also like to  learn to scuba dive enabling me take in some tropical island underwater scenery.

So what better way to capture this dream than with a world globe & a destination sign.

Do you have a fabulous dream?

Could you photograph it?

Have a wonderful week everyone!

Building update

Well there has been some building going on alright, just not in the form of a house.....

Its a fence

It's progress...

We still haven't had any luck selling our old house, so no start date for the dream house yet. That's ok cause there is still plenty of work to go on the fence,

 & there are more retaining walls to build,

as well as more driveway to concrete.

Now I am linking this post up to week 2 at

Life with my 3 boybarians

This weeks theme is

"Made with love"

Now technically the fence did start out being made with love, but.... now I think its been thought more of as back breaking, time consuming & never ending!!!!

Have a fantastic weekend everyone!!
