Butterflies and Gardens

Hi there everyone, I hope you had a good weekend. Mine was pretty good, getting a chance to spend some quality time with my girls and taking one of them with me to the Handmade Expo. Since I didn't get a post in at all this weekend I thought I would share a photo of what we got up to on Saturday. With the lovely weather we are having it was perfect to get in the garden and give it a good water so my Miss 5 was happy to help.

Miss 9 was content to ponder through magazines to find recipes to put into her cookbook, so a relaxing Saturday and Sunday was more about catching up with family and friends.

My Miss 9 will be celebrating her birthday soon so my goal is to try and make the party treats to go into her bag. Today I made these butterfly bookmarks, pretty simple and will come in handy I'm sure.

Thanks for stopping by, until next time bye!

Abundance

HEALTH

* Establish a morning and evening routine. Getting back into the habit of meditation outside of my room in a created space just for meditating. Setting a specific time for bed in the evening allowing for one hour screen free before bed and reading time.

* Eat more greens. Make smoothies and continue to eat nutritious foods that make me feel full of abundance.

* Exercise three times every week including yoga. Go to a new yoga class and interact with new like minded people.

PERSONAL

* Do something creative every day, crochet, cook, garden or photography.

* Set time aside weekly to pamper myself like a face mask etc. Also this can include going to get a massage.

* To just do more and do less procrastinating. Be organised and not worry about the time and effort required to get the job done.

EDUCATION

* Read books on health, happiness and personal development.

* Do one course on photography and one course on sustainability.

* Enrol in a first aid and CPR course.

HOME

* Develop a routine for keeping my garden neat and tidy. Allocate 30 minutes each day to water, weed or trim.

* Declutter each area of our home.

* Organise the pantry, removing the plastic and replacing it with glass.
