Thankful

Paul has been away since Monday on a boys’ camping trip, so it’s been a ‘girlie week’ for us here in our little household. He’s due back in four hours and every time Grace hears a car door out in the street or Asha barking, she runs to the window squealing “Daddy!!” Very cute.

This week I’ve been thankful for several things:

…my Mum and mother-in-law each staying over one night to keep me company and help out with Grace.

…a lovely ‘care package’ arriving in the mail from the organiser of the playgroup I take Grace to – it was thoughtfully filled with goodies for Mums to indulge in some ‘me’ time.

…all the suggestions from my readers on ideas for my Cooking Club – I’m even more excited than before to get this started now.

…my sister-in-law passing on a delicious recipe for a Chicken Nicoise Salad – the perfect meal for hot summer nights.

…the fact that no casualties have been reported from the terrifying Cyclone Yasi – I was glued to the television on Wednesday night, watching in disbelief as yet another natural disaster hit poor Queensland.

Keeping all those affected by the cyclone in my thoughts and wishing everyone else a wonderful weekend ahead…
