Feb Photo a Day on Instagram

I think I've mentioned before how much I love instagram. In fact, I think I spend most of my 'online time' there these days. It's so easy and so addictive :)

Like thousands of other instagrammers I've been joining in everyday with FatMumSlim's #febphotoaday challenge. It's heaps of fun and definitely gets me thinking most days. Here's what I've shared so far...

Day 1 | My view | my en-suite as I cleaned it

Day 2 | words | DIY pallet art in my laundry (details here)

Day 3 | Hands | Its amazing to see how much Max has learnt to do with his little hands in two short years

Day 4 | Stranger | a pharmacist with a sense of humour?

Day 5 | 10am | trying to work out which of these two cheeky cousins stole the pink donut (although Max confessed, we later found out it was Ava!)

Day 6 | Dinner | a quick and easy Monday night dinner

Day 7 | Button | waiting to be turned into a cushion

Day 8 | Sun | trying to break through the clouds (view over my back fence)

A Valentine Guest Post

 Hello Tamsyn :) 

You've always suggested that I do a guest post on your blog but I never really knew what to say.  Well, nothing has changed, I'm still clueless, but I guess today is a great opportunity to put a few words on the interwebs about how you make me feel.

It's no secret the past year has been tough with a lot of ups and downs.  We've come up against some pretty big things and you've surprised me with your courage and love every step of the way. It's going to be a long and bumpy road, but that's something we'll do together. 

Tamsyn, Marrying you and starting a family was the best thing I ever did. You put up with a lot from me and I don't think I ever really do enough to show you how much I love you.  You're the best mother that Max could ask for, and the best wife I could have ever imagined.  We're both lucky to have you in our lives.  I may not say it all the time, but everyday I'm thankful you part of my life.

Happy Valentines day smexo, I choo choo choose you.

Your partner in crime,

Sean.

Calendar Journal

A while back I was inspired by this calendar journal that I spotted on Design Sponge. You've probably seen it before too, it's been round the blogosphere a few times over. Anyway, I pinned it to my 'must DIY this' board and then promptly forgot about it.

I was reminded of it a couple of weeks ago when Laura blogged about the version she made.

Gorgeous huh!!

I finally got my butt into gear on the weekend and made myself one too.

Now all I need to do is remember to write something down each day :)
