Gratitude Sunday

We have so much to be grateful for this week yet again! I'm constantly in awe of my magical little family and how beautiful life is while sharing it with those you love. Here are some things that I'm especially grateful for this Sunday...

A blank canvas... the possibilities!

Sunday afternoon in the garden

 Our newest family member... "Buk Buk"

 
A new little friend for Aria. So many gasps, wide eyed stares and 'buk buk' noises today!


Our Faerie Garden is taking shape... some flowers are just so enchanting!

Dada and Bubba time. They share such a beautiful relationship, it's very touching...

 
Second hand stores that sell the most gorgeous little wooden dishes, and the local sunday market where precious little girls dresses abound!

Valentines day festivities, red, and a thoughtful husband who treated Mama to her favourite dessert :)


I'm also extremely grateful this week for a new sense of peace that has entered our lives since we have moved to our new nest. I'm thriving in our new environment - taking Aria for walks in the Koala reserve, saying hello to the cows, horses, sheeps. ducks, dogs and birds - chasing a certain little one along the beach (she loves it SO much!) and meeting friendly, kind people every day who I am gradually getting to know as time goes by.
I could go on and on about all the things I am grateful for, but I thought I'd just write about what is foremost in my heart today. A lovely valentines day with a beautiful family - what more could you ask for?
