Pre School rocks!

I love my job :)

I've had so many jobs over the years, office jobs, crew on yachts, care work, bar/club work, junk mail delivery (sorry), model, health food cafe and horse riding instructor just to name a few!  I've always believed that a job has to work for me and not the other way around. It's too much of my life to spend unhappy - for any amount of money!

Although my job as a pre school room leader is physically, mentally and sometimes emotionally draining, I can't imagine doing anything else. Every day I play, laugh, and be creative in so many ways. 3 year olds are just so much fun, they are old enough to do cool art and craft projects with, to joke with and to read good stories to. I feel very lucky to have found my calling :)

I wish I could take loads of photos to show you all my little friends and the fun we have, but obviously I can't... I will take some picture of the things we've made, Halloween has made this such a great craft month!

We had a stunning Autumn day today, I hope the weather was beautiful wherever you are too xx


My sisters and me :)

I have two sisters, I'm in the middle, which I love :)


On the left is my older sister is Pippa, she is the most wonderful big sister anyone could wish for. She has always been there for me and supported me in everything I did. I hope with all my heart that in the end her journey brings her closer to me and my life in the future, I miss her so much. At the moment she is sailing around the world with her man - an incredible adventure, but so far away!


On the right is Malaika, my beautiful little baby sister (16 so not really a baby anymore lol) she lives in Devon, England. She's just moved out of home for the first time and is loving her first taste of real independence, she's in love and she's happier than ever. I remember how exciting life is at that stage, I had so much fun becoming an adult and 'finding myself' it's wonderful to watch her do the same. I do wish we saw each other more, I miss her brilliantly random sense of humor and unique personality :)


These are some of my favorite pictures of our wedding day, and of all time, I think they capture our friendship so well. I can't wait till we see each other again. I hope hope hope it's soon :)

My 1st 'Happy List'

I love the idea of happy lists, everyone has their own take on them but mine will be about the little things, the things that at the moment are giving me a rush of happiness no matter how small or silly!
  1. Watching 24 on the sofa bed with my man.
  2. My routine of on the weekend baking bread and treats for the coming week.
  3. The feeling of overwhelming love I got when I held a work mates 18 day old baby girl.
  4. Leaning over to kiss my husband when I get in the car after work.
  5. Autumn and everything that comes with it - wind, rain, cold and all!
  6. Seeing my little sister happy (via facebook, she lives in England).
  7. Watching Cara, our cat, sleep peacefully.
  8. The satisfaction of dealing with an issue at work head on before it manifests.
  9. Cadburys fruit and nut chocolate.
  10. Best of all, looking through old iphoto events and laughing my head off, there seems to be some of us goofing around in every album! These are from about 2 years ago, they still make me laugh out loud! 


    
  
This last one is my favorite, I don't know what the hell we were doing
 but who cares, it was hilarious!

I loved writing that happy list, in fact writing happy lists is going to be on my next happy list! 
If you've done one recently let me know in the comments I'd love to take a look.
