Thank you for all your comments on my previous post. I really appreciate people taking the time to write their thoughts – it only cements further in my mind that a simpler life is the right thing for our little family.
Part of me feels like I've quit my job and I'm left to work out my notice period. You know – just finishing up things and preparing for a handover. But that's not the case. We have a business and we can't leave yet. There's still a couple of years to slog it out and I don't want to wish that time away hastily for a better future. Because there's always a new set of challenges around the corner. (Bloomwhereyou'replantedbloomwhereyou'replanted...)
So in aid of continual blossoming I'm going to set myself mini-goals to draw attention away from the big one. Finishing BB's room (it's so close), snazzying up the remainder of the apartment and finally addressing the ever growing piles of crap that seem to circulate without a home. There's a list of craft projects to tackle, sewing to finish (and start) and thousands of photos and files to be sorted.
It's on. I even plan to document photographic evidence of these happenings on this blog. And by saying that it means now I really have to do it. (Crap).
BB's first ever piggy-tails. Or as she calls them, taihallls, two!
PS. The last photo is for my parents, who have FINALLY sorted out a new computer with proper internet and are avid readers. Czesc Mama i Tata! Duze buzki!
Holy shite, Anna... I can't get over how grown up BB is in these pictures! Those pigtails - her hair is seriously going gangbusters!
ReplyDeleteAll these little tasks sound like the perfect fertiliser. May you Rummeys blossom beautifully in Sydney for as long as you're planted there. x
all together now... *awww*.
Oh my, that last picture is gorgeous, what a little cutie. x
ReplyDeleteOh bless her and her little piggy tails. Sweetest thing!
ReplyDeleteCome bloom and blossom in the Shire one day ... X
Wow, she is cute as. Looks like a big girl now.
ReplyDeleteAnd three cheers for small goals!
That last picture kills me. Never was much of a fan of pig tails but BB (maybe LB now? More of a Little Bear than Baby) has totally swayed me. She's too freakin' gorgeous, chipped teeth and all.
ReplyDeleteThe nesting urge has fully kicked in over here and i'm itching for a serious clean up this weekend. I've even bought rubber gloves, that's how serious I am. Although that makes it sound like our house is so filthy that I need them. And it's not THAT filthy. xxx
If only everyone could express themselves as eloquently as you Anna. Those pigtails are too sweet.
ReplyDeleteThose mini-goals sound like the perfect distraction. And yes, we're gonna hold you accountable for each and every one of them. Ok, maybe just the sewing jobs. I need some inspiration. xx
3rd photo is so darn sweet. The mini goals sound lovely, nice to sprinkle some Sydney seedlings for a while before you embark on planting the trees somewhere else.
ReplyDeleteLovely girl is BB!!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love her pigtails, my girl has curly hair and it looks different on her but equaly as lovely.
Ahhh yes, responsibilies. Oh well, maybe a day trip into the sticks would do in the meantime!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your mini-goals. I will look forward to following your progress.
BB is tres jolie with those pigtails! and she has the most contagious of smiles :)
ReplyDeleteSetting yourself these mini-goals sounds like a good distraction from the end objective. The fact that you are posting here so regularly is already a good start, don't you think? I am fond of your blog: the photos, words, and honestly that's on it. It's always such a pleasure to visit. You seem like one incredible woman Ana.
