Love the Moment #9 - Happy Birthday Chelsea

My little girl turned 11 today. Oh how time flies. I can still remember so clearly the day she entered the world. That was the day my heart no longer belonged to me...she absolutely stole it!!
And now to think how grown up she is becoming. It's just way too fast for my liking.
Happy Birthday my gorgeous girl. I love you more than words can say and I hope that all your dreams come true.

Love the Moment #8 - Fun Fun Fun

Yesterday the kid's school held their 25th birthday fete.

We arrived at about 2.30pm and stayed until the end of the night to watch the fireworks.

The kids had a great time. They conned me into going on the first ride with them. I must admit that I definately didn't find it as fun as the kids did. Maybe I'm just getting too old!

But here we are, Chels and I, with Kobi in front, just before the ride is about to start.

I absolutely love the look on their faces when the are having so much fun. It's just another moment that I love...pure fun and enjoyment!!!

Love the Moment #7 - Precious Love

My beautiful loving little boy...he gives the best hugs!

He will just walk up to me and say "Mummy I love you" and wrap his arms around me in the biggest hug.

It's these moments that just tug at my heart strings and make me realise how lucky I am.

Love the Moment #6 - Happy Birthday

It's Richard's 40th birthday today.

They has run out of large chocolate mud cakes at the shop so the next best thing...mud cake cup cakes.

It's something we have always done when it's someone's birthday...have a cake with candles and sing happy birthday.

The kids love doing this so even though it was just us, we still made it a special end to Richard's birthday withe his cupcakes and candles.

Happy Birthday my wonderful husband. I love you xxx

Love the Moment #5 - Basking in the Sun

Sitting outside in the beautiful warm sun.

It's the beginning of Spring but still a little cool. The sun was so nice I could have sat outside all day.

Love the Moment #4 - Family

Spending time together as a family.

My beautiful family is the most important thing in world. Nothing comes close to the love I have for my husband and our 2 gorgeous children!!

Love the Moment #2 - Coffee Time

Aahh love the moment when finally meet the time deadline for finishing the payroll after a pretty hectic morning.

When its busy like this I don't get time to enjoy my cup of coffee and it usually goes cold before I finish it. So it's such a good feeling to be able to sit and leisurely drink a cup of hot coffee.

Oh how I love my coffee! Especially in this very special cup that Kobi gave me for mothers day.

Love the Moment #1 - Macey

As soon as I walk in the door after getting home from work the first and most excited greeting is from this little fluffy ball of love.
She's usually at the door waiting for me to come inside and her little tail is going 100 miles a minute.
There's nothing like the unconditional love your pet has for you. It sure does make it worth coming home to a greeting like this!

Love the Moment Challenge

How often do we get caught up in the fast pace of life. There is always something to be done, places to go and people to see. We always seem to be in such a hurry and often let the little things in life pass us by.

I know that if I wait for my life to slow down, I will probably be waiting for the rest of my life.
I know I need to stop, take a deep breath and really look at life and all the little things it has to offer, the little things that I don't take the time to see everyday.

I need to start enjoying the happiness in the simplicity of little moments by capturing, noticing, celebrating and enjoying moments as they happen. Life is about acknowledging the small things that may otherwise go unnoticed. Being grateful for all that I have in my life, my family and friends and just enjoying life as a whole.

There are so many things in life that we just take for granted and don't really take the time to notice and enjoy. For example: the roughness of tree bark, the smell of a flower, flying butterflies and the feel of your child’s soft cheek.

Because these little things: they are big things. And one day I'm going to look back and realise that I've missed all of these important things and then it will be too late!

So each day I'm going to try and capture something that I would not normally notice and share it here.

I hope that you enjoy seeing my appreciation of life and all the little things it has to offer and maybe you can also be inspired to stop and smell the roses and really enjoy life!
