Book Review…. Living in the NOW

For those of us with a burning ambition to succeed (sometime in the future) so strong that we find it almost impossible to enjoy today this book is an absolute must read. Written in Chicken Soup style with lots of different contributors from diverse backgrounds and life experiences this inspiring book offers so many reason’s to live for today and lots of advice on how to do it. But what I found truly inspiring was it’s focus on living in the now in order to succeed in the future. Apparently we can have both and I for one certainly need help in that area. Here’s just a few snippets to give you the idea….

Daily To-Do Chalkboard Fridge Thingie….

Today is our first kids sport free weekend for the winter and so I’ve had time this morning to do a few things that have been on my list for quite a while. I purchased this Peel & Stick Chalboard Set a few months ago with the idea of sticking them on the front of my fidge as a Daily To-Do-List for us. They were really easy to apply and were just $20.00 for 8 sheets.

Kseniya’s amazing Sand Animation…. watch in awe!

Some things just have to be seen to be believed….

Kseniya Simonova is a sand animator from Ukraine. She entered Ukraine’s Got Talent last year and won first place with this incredible depiction of life during the USSR’s war against the Third Reich in WWII. The audience were in tears.

Hottest Look…. New York Fashion Week.

Apparently red was the new black at the New York Fashion Week recently….

How to become the most popular mum in town.

Easy, yummy …. DONUT MUFFINS …. to bake at home.
My boys and I looove donuts. Not the horrible packaged excuse for donuts you get from Woollies but you know the delicious soft warm just made ones I buy way too many of each time I go near a donut shop.

Lovely Tea Bags for Tea Lovers.

Although I’m a tea lover and do like to experience the many flavours available these days I’ve never thought too much about the actual tea bag itself. Here’s the latest in tea bag design proving that nothing is sacred when it comes to the human imagination.

Feeding my font fetish….

At the risk of exposing a slightly wierd aspect of myself I must tell you I have a thing about type faces. I love them. Well, not all of them. Some I wouldn’t give the time of day to while others I find totally irresistible. Anyway don’t want to get too wierd but do want to share with you this quirky site I found today via Jessica at How About Orange where you enter the office of an apparent descendent of Freud himself who asks 4 probing and indepth questions to reveal the type face that best suits your personality. I’m not normally into this sort of hoo-hah but obviously due to my font fetish I found it very cool and was very excited when given my final diagnosis….
