Cupcakes

What about this phenomenon that is sweeping the world!

How far has a cupcake come, from those Butterfly cakes baked by the dozens, to cupcakes in a jar! 
All in my lifetime!

Cupcake Jars

Twins mystery

2 girls?

 The wondering continues!

Do I want to know when Mummy finds out?

Yes, shopping would be easier

Yes, There is only so much white this pair can wear

but

2 Boys?

I do like surprises

Healthy is the thing I hope for most

Mum to be fine

Shopping doesn't matter when I am at home, not on line or sleeping 

Dilemma to be sorted before she finds out or my Mum will crack and subtly suggest "OOh, you don't need pretty frilly things" or something along those lines, but you get the drift. Tell my Mum a secret, ask her not to tell you something and she cannot help herself

Covering my bases or woosing out?

 

 I didn't want to know until this one was born, BUT he was flying solo

Why should we tell our stories

I love to hear of people's lives and the journey that brought them to where they are today.

This Blog is my way of telling some of my life as it flows, stops, coagulates and takes me along many a road. Some of these are bumpy, some are smooth, many turns in others with a few hairpin bends thrown in. All in all I am still on that road and will continue to record and share my travels and hope someone stops me along the way to say "Hi" as I do love a chat.

This advice from Daily OM

 

"We all have a story to tell whether we publish it or keep it for just ourselves or family; allow yourself to be heard." Everyone, at one time or another, has wanted to express his or her story. Writing a memoir to read privately, share with family or friends, or publish is an emotionally satisfying way to gain perspective on your experiences while sharing your unique voice. We’ve all experienced feelings and events in our lives that we are longing to write down. Giving in to that urge can give you an outlet for purging any frustration, anxiety, or long-dormant feelings. No one else has to read it. You may even want to write your story without reading it right away. Satisfying the need to tell your story is not predicated upon your writing ability. It does, however take effort to write down the truth in detail. Your memories, captured on paper as descriptive scenes, sights, sounds, and scents, may at first seem disconnected or incomplete. But rest assured that you possess the ability to shape your recollections into stories. veryone wants to be heard. Reading your story to others can meet that need. Writing your story can also help you understand your life experiences. And when you finish writing, you may be surprised at what you have accomplished. Your story can encompass as much or as little of your life as you prefer. You may surprise yourself with new insights, or you may find yourself exploring your roots, your identity, and your future through your words. Allow your writing to guide you and write as truthfully as possible. Don’t worry about what others will think of your personal journey, your style of writing, or your words.

Research has shown that writing a personal narrative filled with feelings and perceptions can create long-term health benefits. As you write, remember to have compassion for yourself, particularly when writing about traumatic events. If you are a young person, you can add to your life story as you grow older. Your writing may help family members know you better, or they may understand themselves more through reading about your experiences. More importantly, you are expressing yourself in a permanent way, giving a gift to yourself, and letting your voice be heard. 

They have such gems and pearls of wisdom as this one above!

So pop on over and see if there is something for you too

 

Thank you for stopping by, I do appreciate it

Mobile phone, or mine at least Update

Garmin Asus A50

I don't do reviews, personal taste when selecting a  phone, but I do read others and leave all that up to the techsperts.

Read all about it 

 For Geeks, the specs

I am a female who has a phone, end of qualifications!

So why do I like my current one?

 

It has GPS, with a lovely lady. without an irritating voice, that tells me politely to turn here or there and gets me from point A to B relatively unscathed. She even goes with the flow when I go off some side road that looks like it goes somewhere . Could I change the voice, probably, but we get along well so why try.

My favourite is the Saved Parking Spot! Wow, never lose my car again, (if I remember to tell it where I left it) and when I tested this out it took me straight to the boot of my car! How cool is that! It even knows that I fill the boot with shopping first, Impressive.

Facebook, where would my  life be without FB!

Email: although my computer takes offense sometimes and says  "use your phone!" in that narky Microsoft generated voice it has.

Autumn tribute

I have only have one Autumn tree amongst the native bushland. So it is very special to me.

Now that Winter has officially begun today I decided I owed it to this one tree to show off it's beauty as it prepares to sleep until greeting me again with the buds in Spring.

The view sitting underneath

 I spent quite a bit of time crunching through the leaves as they changed colours and fell into a glorious riot of Autumn tones underneath
