{Let's Do 52} - 16/52 - Reflection (and some more feet)

'Reflection' - theme for week 16 of 52 of the fabulous 'Paint the Moon's' LET'S DO 52 challenge.

Home .....

I love walking in the door

Oh how I love being in my home .....

.... Kicking off my shoes

Walking bare-foot ....

And because I love taking photos of feet, here is one I took last week of my little girl :)

Gorgeous autumn afternoons

Sun dipping into the evening sky

Teaching my girl how to hopscotch

New gumboots - don't want to take those off.....

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Back in my day ....

Yes, I am guilty of saying "Back in my day....." - and immediately that makes me feel so very old!

Last week I received a lovely iPod Touch for my birthday - all wonderful in its sleekness and cleverness. I downloaded a few puzzles and games for Tara (who is a couple of months from turning 3), and witnessed her picking the concept of these up within a period of about 3 1/2 minutes. Switching between apps, tilting the iPod up and down to make Dora slide down her rainbow slide .... amazing!

For some time I have resisted teaching her electronic games and puzzles, thinking "Well, back in my day I had to play an actual puzzle or read an actual book" .... which fortunately, she also loves to do and carries several books with her in the car, to the shops, to the bath, at the breakfast table.......I then realised though (after I realised I was thinking about "back in my day" too often) that she has been born into a technological era, and will be surrounding by technology each and every day - so as long as this play is balance with other play, then I see it as a good thing that she learns.

The last few days my Dad has been visiting ..... oh what fun was it to see her 'teaching' him the tricks of the technological trade.

And to tie in with this week's theme for 'Let's Do 52' - "CELEBRATE" :)

Let's Do 52 - {14/52} - Morning......

Week 14 of the Paint the Moon's "Let's Do 52" challenge - the theme: "Give me a drink!"

Morning sunshine.....
Morning coffee......

Good morning to you :)

Let's Do 52 - {13/52} - What I want ......

.... I want to skip carelessly through sun-soaked fields

I want to feel happiness fill me to the brim, as if I might burst .....

I want to continue feeling the love in my life around me, embracing me.....

..... I want to express my gratitude to all in my life, for the precious reason they are there.

(Let's Do 52 - Week 13. Theme - 'Get Emotional'. Oh, and the alternate theme for the week is 'Look out for curves' and I've just realised I have taken a photo of my behind! Uh oh!)

Let's Do 52 - {12/52} - Vintage Tractor Charm

I loved this little find .... a couple of pieces of rusty old farm machinery dotted into an overgrown field of grass, weeds and wild flowers. This 'Fordson Major' tractor was beautiful in all its rust, cobwebs and dust, lit by the afternoon warm sun, and somehow still stoic-looking, even though it no doubt had seen better days. To me, it had a certain 'Vintage Charm'.

Let's Do 52 - {11/52} - Back home

This week's theme for the 'Paint the Moon's' Let's Do 52 is Beauty in the everyday details ..... and I must admit, for the first time in this challenge I got a little tripped up for a while. I wanted to use this year long challenge as a push to get me to think outside the square somewhat, and see how I could apply my take on the themes......

But as the week neared an end, my husband arrived home from overseas - the last couple of months he has been away more than he has been home, and my daughter & I have missed him immensly. I woke up one morning, and there it was, his toothbrush back next to mine, right where it belongs. So yes, I have taken a photo of toothbrushes! And I'm not quite sure whether anyone else will want to see our tootbrushes ... but to me, this perfectly summed up the beauty in the everyday details.

A package deal - Wordless Wednesday #7 & 'Let's Do 52' - {10-52}

And I will need to add some words......
This week's theme for 'Let's Do 52' is 'Monochrome tones', with an alternate theme choice of 'The Perfect Pair' ...... thought I would cover both this week :)

My husband and I sharing a cup of coffee .......
I love this so much.....
.... and we are making more of an effort to try and sit down in our hectic days and 'catch up'. And I guess it sounds a little silly to say that we are trying to make time for that - but it is amazing with all that keeps us busy, particularly our little girl, that simple pleasures like this often get overlooked
