this saturday i'm grateful for... nut milk


It's been such a sunshiney week, that it's literally made me happy. Not wanting to work at all, but instead just sit out in the sunshine. It's made me happy (even though I have a crapload of backlog next week). This week I'm grateful for...
  1. Nut milk. I made nut milk today thanks to this gorgeous girl. And as well as a few other culinary delights in the kitchen, I now feel 'at one with Mother Earth'. (Oh, and it tastes really good, earthy even.)
  2. Thanking my maker. Each night my boys are visited by a ghost who spends a lot of time adoring their sleeping faces. Okay, it's really me stalking my children before I go to bed. But still, is there anything better than watching your babies breathing quietly surrounded by their favourite toys (and possibly on the floor), and giving thanks to our maker for them?
  3. I love you's. This week the boys have been a bit sick, and a bit Not Quite Right. That means extra cuddles for mummy and lots of "I love you's". And I love that when they're old enough, they say it first. Fills the cockles of my heart.
What are you grateful for this week? Pop on over to the lovely The Beetle Shack for Maxabella Loves... (just this week) for more lovely gratefuls.

    Watching sleeping children is so lovely & those extra cuddles are nice too.
    The miracle of life is something to be thankful for.

    My youngest girl sleeps with so many stuffed thingies around her, too. Awake or asleep, your boy looks soooo cute.

    How adorable are sleeping toddlers!
    I am so lucky with my two year old that I can choose to lie with him for his day sleep and watch him fall asleep. Whether I am there or not, he falls asleep on his own so I love to take advantage of this treat.

    Yes I do that too. I love the to sneak into the girls room and just breath them in. Sounds so silly. I love the smell of them. Their clean hair and child's breath as they clutch their teddy bears. Beautiful!

    I still creep in to watch my kids sleep. I think I always will, even though they are older now. It is blissful.

    Oh gorgeous post Kymmie. Always love the pics of your little men :o) I know exactly what you mean, it is impossible not to stare at the boys when they're sleeping. I even hold onto the little one as long as I can before putting him in his cot. That's right, he is STILL falling asleep in my arms every night. Oh well, they're only babies once :o) Happy weekend to you Kymmie xo

    I tried nut milk for the first time when I was doing a detox. I liked it at first but by the third day I'd had enough of it. Hope it stays tasting good for you :)
