Your Comfort Zone

I found this fantastic diagram and below quote from the site: Babes in the Backcountry.

From the day a person is conceived they begin to grow.
This growth is supposed to be a natural process throughout our lives, yet, many people reach a plateau as adults where they choose to stop growing. This is a stagnation of our character and learning of essential life skills. But we choose it because it is “comfortable”.

Now think about some of the greatest and most joyous moments in your life. Were they while you were idling in your comfort zone?

There is no magic and no life growth happening if you are only living in your “comfort zone”!

…Melbourne

We came, we saw, we shopped…and we ATE! Our trip to Melbourne turned out to be a gastronomic delight!

Little Miner

We have found new entertainment for Poppy! She has discovered our Petzl head torch and wanders around the house ‘spotlighting’! She has tried to persuade Maisy to have a go, but she was nonplussed. Pops even attempted a little night-time read with Mum! xx

Sneaky Peek : Poppy’s Room

I LOVE little Poppyseed’s room and I thought I would share some of her beautiful things with you. My favourite piece is her cot and I cherish going in to her after she has woken up and see her standing with her arms up, awaiting ‘collection’. Her Midsummer Light shade is another beauty. It is

Mother’s Day

Happy Mother’s Day for yesterday! I hope all those wonderful mother’s had a chance to relax with their families? This heart is from Kinder Clips where children were asked to think about words that best describe their mums, and this is what they came up with. Talk about multi-taskers!!

Apples & Elegant Blossoms

Poppy has TWO new pairs of shoes this week. These gorgeous green apples have been pre-loved and handed down to her from some good friends. These gorgeous Robeez shoes are called ‘Elegant Blossom’ which I bought on-line. She is very happy with her new footwear range for the winter!
