W is for. . . Walk in her shoes

Ill be honest, every other week Thursday is my most favourite day, I love looking at the positive side of my life, picking out all the wonderful points and sharing them with you. I will admit though, today I struggled. I have ended up in a bit of a slump the last few days and struggled to find something positive to share.

I have been thinking all day, Its now 5pm and I have finally realised there is no point in feeling sorry for myself. No point in focusing on the negative things have have happened over the last few days.

How many people would love to live my life?

Would love to have 3 meals a day and a roof over their head.

Would love to have the amazing support I have from my partner and from our families.

Would love to have a healthy and safe lifestyle.

And they don't.

So who am I to complain and the things in my life, that would be so small in comparison to some peoples problems.

So instead, today I am thankful!

I am thankful to have 3 meals a day and a roof over our head

I am thankful to have amazing support from both my partner and our families

and Im thankful for the healthy and safe lifestyle we have


To prove how thankful I am, I am going to join "Walk in her shoes"  Where I will commit to walking 10,000 steps a day from March 18-24.

Because I don't have to walk for Km's each and every day, just to food and water, just a few steps to the fridge.

My aim is to raise $500! But I would love to raise more. Ill be promoting through my blog and social media, the more money raised, the more girls we can help, spend more time in school than having to walk every day!

You can donate to here

Or you can register for yourself here, It costs just $15 and they will send you out a pedometer so you can keep track of those steps!

I know there are other bloggers walking as well

Any other bloggers who are doing this, please let me know and i'll list your names! I think its such a wonderful cause.

No matter how bad life can get, how dark and gloomy, there is always something to be thankful for.
This Thankful Thursday may have been a little harder than other, but after a little soul searching, its easy to see all the wonderful things I have been blessed with. And I hope I can make some people's lives, just a little bit brighter.

Of course I'm linking up with Leigh at "Six by the Bay" for Thankful Thursday! My weeks just wouldn't be the same without it!

D is for . . . Disaster

I was pretty excited about doing some afternoon cooking today. I had already made some muffins for Thomas to take to work and they are frozen and ready to go.

I also made some rolls which I put in the freezer, this is my most favorite idea, that my mum showed me. (I guess you could say its a family secret ;) ) It keeps the rolls as fresh as they were today, and I can make a whole load of them today, that will last the rest of the week.
Luckily we had roast chicken for lunch so there was plenty left over, which works wonderfully in bread rolls for the rest of the week!

Next on the agenda was Muesli bars!

They look good right?

Well wrong, which is why I havent posted the recipe.

It needs some, well some pretty major tweaks.

As they look good here, about point five of a second after this was taken, they fell to pieces and turned into a really delicious mess! So i will work out the weeds in this recipe and post it again next weekend.

And hope to have more luck.

Other than that this weekend has been less than eventful, I did some washing, I actually made it all the way through my washing pile, which pretty much never happens.

And then I had to wear my little man, as his teeth are still hurting him, so I wrapped him on, and managed to get the mopping and the vacuuming done, and even the dishes. while he fell asleep.

So I feel like I got a lot accomplished this weekend and had some great bonding time with my little family!

I hope that the rest of you had a great weekend, and all of you that are in the line of the BigWet are staying safe, im sending you all of my good thoughts.

Question of the day - What has been your most tasty food disaster?
