I received the latest copy of Notebook Magazine in the mail last week – I so love receiving magazines I subscribe too – sometimes however it takes me until the next magazine is out to get to the last – I have great intentions of sitting down and flicking but other things get in the way. So last night I finally made it to the editors page where she talks about the website 1000 Awesome Things – yes you know what this means – down goes the magazine and back to the computer to check out this website! This website has now got me thinking of my own list (I love a good list – I will even add something to a list after I have done it and then tick it off!)
So being in need of writing a few awesome things down (it is still school holidays and in need of positive reinforcement) here is a list of a few things that I think are awesome:-

When you go to get the baby out of bed after a nap and she is so excited to see you
When you cook something and it looks like the picture
When the kids draw a picture of you and you are smiling
When you arrive home after the cleaners have been
When the kids ask for an apple and not a biscuit
When you wake up on a Saturday morning and you realise it is the weekend and you have nothing in particular on
When the baby is mesmerized by a bird in the backyard
Leaving the hairdresser with perfectly blow dried hair
Watching kids blow bubbles
Going to bed listening to the rain on the roof and waking up to a crystal clear day
Would love to hear a few things you think are awesome – leave me a link back to your blog or comment here.

  1. Just waking up to a healthy happy baby! That’s awsome indeed 🙂 Oh and I can SO relate to your magazine situation! I do the SAME thing! hahaa

  2. Hi Leanne…great list you have compiled…I am in agreement with all – quelles surprise! For me – I would add the perfect cuppa tea, a sunny day when you are expecting rain, seeing my children come out of school and walk towards me (you know when you get that slow motion, my-goodness-they-really-are-so-lovely moment?). Oh and add watching them sleep. Finally it’s awesome how I still look at my hub and think – yep, it’s you..still moves me. Lou x

  6. Beautiful post. I liked those apples a lot. Nice photo.

    You could share a recipe on my blog about recipes. It is getting some magazine coverage I am not at liberty to talk about just yet.

    Do you have a homemade recipe you would share with our readers? No, you don’t have to be fat to share them.
