At the end of an afternoon that has been inexplicably stormy (both literally and metphorically) I'm making an effort to feel grateful for:
* A 15 minute walk in the pram in between rain and thunder. An uphill, blood thumping, nose warming walk.
* Returning to the house with renewed patience and enthusiasm, the quick whizz-around-put-the-toys-away that followed, and the relief of everything being tidy-ish that followed that.
* The deliciousness of chicken pot-roasting in our absence, in time for us all to eat dinner together in an hour.
* Playschool!

That walk sounds like just what I need, but it's been 48 hours non stop rain here, AND little one and I are both battling awful colds. We will hit those hills are soon as we're well again.
I love it when everything is tidy! It's something I never used to notice before I had kids and now I really cherish the 5 minutes of tidiness I get every time after I clean up :)
It sounds completely idyllic. Roast chicken and brisk walk.
It's amazing how a short stint outside can clear away the cobwebs so quickly.
Have a great weekend! x
sounds like it all came together in the end and that is what is important. heres to a great weekend.
There comes a point in any solid-rain week where you just have to take whatever moment of a break in the weather and grab it! Good for you for being ready enough to take it and avoid the storm.
15 minutes is all melbourne has been giving us. Nothing better then getting home to some yummy food. have a lovely weekend x

That walk sounds like the perfect recharger! Just what I need, except the rain here has been relentless! x
