Introducing... Fridays Feels!

Now that I've finished my Gratitude Project, I've decided to start a new little project.
So I am please to introduce Friday Feels!!  :)

I saw something similar on The Little Red House, and just loved the idea too much to not give it a try  :)

Every week I will recap my week via the five senses, and anything else that seems to fit in with the theme...

Hearing: I have spent a large chunk of every day listening to the amazing Jana Kingsford from Mums Juggling Act as I start my journey towards unjuggling my life. And when I'm not listening to her fabulous vlogs, I am an utter addict of Spotify - this week has been a 90's flashback.... who am I kidding, most weeks are 90's flashback for me!

Seeing: Last weekend, Mac and I had a movie date and saw the Lego Movie. He sat on my lap for most of the movie, and we laughed together. It was awesome.

Tasting: I tried a new recipe this week - I promise one day to get some of my favourites on here for you! It was Lemongrass, chilli and pork stir fry... and it was delicious!!

Smelling: Mr M brought home some flowers from the set on Wednesday night - orchids no less! I am indeed a lucky girl!

Touching: I put flannelette sheets on our bed last weekend - oooohhhhh, so soft and cozy! Getting out of bed is now infinitely harder than it was a week ago!

And finally, a Friday funny. This is seriously one of the funniest things I think I have ever seen!

Share some of your Friday Feels with me! What tickled your senses this week?

Gratitude Project - 18th-23rd April

Well, first things first - happy belated Easter!
We don't celebrate Easter in my house, but my boys are biiiig fans of the chocolate side of things!  :)

Secondly, I had an ah-MAZE-ing night out! Here's me in the top I got from The Iconic:

It was so nice to put a face to all the names that Mr M mentions everyday... the fact that he introduced me all night as his "beautiful wife" didn't hurt either :)
But the loveliest thing I heard was, after being introduced, all his colleagues said the same thing: "whenever I ask Mr M about your kids, his face just lights up"  All together now, AWWWW!

We chatted with everyone in the pub for hours, and were then ushered onto a bus and into a nightclub - the first time I have been in a nightclub in five years! I danced and danced and danced, and was horrified when all the kids were excited to hear songs that I was dancing to when they were first released 20 years ago!
It was awesome.

Mr M and I were home at a very respectable 12.50am, not in too bad a shape. And most glorious of all was the sleep-in the next day! Once again, a big YAY for grandparents!!

On the Easter Sunday, Mr M decided that he wanted to "do something" that day, so we took a road trip up through the Northern Beaches and ended up in Palm Beach. The sun was shining and the ocean sparkling, it was stunning!

{Personally, I think this is one of the best photos I've ever taken!}

On the Monday, Mr M and I celebrated our third wedding anniversary. But given that we'd had such a epic (for us) night out, we were in no hurry to have a special "date night" for the occasion; there'll be plenty more to come, I'm sure :)

Then it was back to reality and work. Mr M is currently on a production break at the moment, which is actually fab for me; an extra pair of hands to help with the morning rush, means I get an extra 30-minutes in bed in the morning! Woo hoo!

Things I have been grateful for this long weekend:

1. The fact that it was a long weekend - four days off; one awesome night out, and hanging with my boys. Heaven!

2. The weather. I hope you had as glorious a weekend as we did!

3. Fresh flannel sheets on the bed - so comfy, so dangerous; it's a real struggle to get out of bed!

4. Family. We got to see both sides of our family over the long weekend, which meant much laughter all round. I am so SO thankful for the family I have!

What did you get up to over the long weekend?

Gratitude Project - 7th April

Gosh Monday rolls around fast, doesn't it? Why are weekends so short!?!

It was a very normal and uneventful Monday in the office today, so not much to report. 

Things I am grateful for today:

1. Having a loooong laugh with my work bestie today, and possibly having created a new inside joke too. We'll have to give it a few test runs to see if it will stick ;)

2. My new slippers from Next.com. Not only are the cute and comfy (not to mention warm!), but they are machine washable!! Is it weird that I am happy about that?

3. Making milo muffins. These are pretty much my new favourite things, and so yummy with my afternoon cuppa! And they are so quick and easy to make! I'll post the recipe up for anyone who's interested :)

How was your Monday?
