A Hot Air Balloon Kind of Day

This morning, on my way home from gym, I spotted this in the sky.  It was such a crystal clear morning and the sight of a hot air balloon on the horizon (or almost above my house) excites me to no end.  So when I got home, I raced inside to grab my camera to attempt to take a snap.  And it really did turn out to be a Hot Air Balloon kind of day.  When I see a hot air balloon in the sky, to me it means the day's weather is going to be superb!  The more balloons, the better the day!

Energy Conscious

Due to the rising costs of living we have been, for some time, seeking more energy efficient products for our home.  We do love our garden and as a family we really look forward to the weather warming up so we can make the most of the great outdoors.  We tend to eat outside most evenings and enjoy the atmosphere in our garden created by fairy lights and the like.  My husband found these inexpensive solar garden lights a few weekends ago and installed them on each of our outdoor steps.  I love the light they give off so I spent a little time outside tonight taking photos of our new solar lights.

Waiting....

Well gone are the days where the whole morning is taken up encouraging my son to take his medicine and follow his lengthy ritual to get to school.  These days he has a very reduced morning ritual (more like a normal child would have) so this morning while he was playing I went outside to our garden and enjoyed my time out there looking at the wonders of nature and taking some photos of our blossoming garden.  This is a photo of one of Jacob's pansies in full bloom. 

April done!

Well the creative bug bit very hard in the last couple of days.  Things are looking up long term for my son and it has opened up a whole creative mental space.  Have a look at April's photos.  It also helped this month for me to take away some restrictions which actually opened up the possibilities of working towards my goals each day.

Photos of March

Well as things start to sort themselves out health wise with my family, I feel more motivated and inspired to create.  I have just this morning finished March's Lifescrap page.  Check out the slide show down the right hand side of the blog to see snippets of how I worked towards my goals last month.

February

I have just uploaded a photo on the Flickr photostream of my February page.  At last!  I had to add a photo of Mel's ear as it certainly got a work out over the month of Feb.

More progress

I have uploaded some photos today of the first 3 pages of my album, completed.
