Photo A Day May Day 13 - MUM

Traditionally 13 is "unlucky" but I'd have to disagree today. I am the luckiest woman in the universe. I am a Mum. It's all I ever wanted. My wish came true. Being J and H's Mum is the most beautiful gift I could ever receive. 


Everything I do is because of them and for them. 


They are joy personified. MUM is the most beautiful word I have ever heard spoken from anyone's lips especially their plump rosey ones in the days I wasn't sure if I'd hear words with real meaning from them. How wrong I was. Our connection is real and special.


I'm their go to girl for mummy kisses when they scrape a knee and mummy hugs for no reason but that they love me. 


If I never do anything else in my life but be their Mum....... It will be a full and truly happy life dripping with love. What more is there?

I let the "lawn mowers" in the back gate this morning to help me out before my 3 hour marathon on the weekend...... 

Andrew can be the "catcher" when it comes to their out put after inputting the grass. I don't "do" shovel duty.

Photo A Day May Day 16 - SOMETHING YOU ARE READING

Different Not Less by Temple Grandin. My hero. Temple is the most famous person with Autism in the world. I've had the unbelievably privileged experience of working with her recently through my charity work with The Autism & Aspergers Support Group Inc and I will always rate Temple's success and her life as the most inspiring, uplifting story I've heard. 

Temple's mother Eustacia is a super mum and the boys gave me a Super Mum bookmark on Mother's Day. If I can give my boys even a tenth of the understanding and support Temple's mum gave her, I will be satisfied with my efforts as their mum. Temple's Mum drummed in the lesson that Temple is "different, not less." I whole heartedly agree with that statement about my kids and all those on the spectrum. This book is a collection of inspiring stories from adults on the spectrum.  BRILLIANT!

I'm planning my baking schedule for a market stall I'm doing on Sunday with my gluten and dairy free goodies.... 

I do believe I'll have one of these triple chocolate rocky road mud cakes as a snack right now.... 

I'll burn it off at the gym tomorrow.

All of these are gluten and dairy free treats I made for a market stall I' unleashed my baking hobby I call Chew Choose, upon on Sunday. Banana bread, rocky road cuppies, choc mud cuppies, fairy cuppies, rum balls, mini Tiffany boxes and rocky road.... 

Photo A Day May Day 19 - FAVOURITE PLACE

No question.... My favourite place to be is front row of a Bon Jovi concert. 

It's my happy place. I chose this shot as it's from the first song in Sydney...... The first song with the whole night ahead at a Bon Jovi concert in my home town as I'm in the front row really really is the happiest place in the world for me. 

Beats the shit out of Disneyland in my opinion.
