It has been awhile since last few blog posts! I've come to accept that my life is now being conducted at a very busy pace. My average day starts at 6:30am, preparing for the day for myself and my children, taking them to school, going to work, rushing back to pick them up from after-school care, dinner, homework, add in one of their activities there, then bed for the kids, then housework for me before bed at around 10:30pm-11pm. I think my average day is very much the average day of any sole parent with two primary school-aged kids.
It might sound counter to the simple life that I often talk about here, but to be honest, I feel that I am, more than ever, living a simpler life.
In between the busy-ness of my routine, I do have time to connect with my friends and family.
I have time to try something different.
"Storm over lake" me experimenting with metallic acylic paint, sand and shimmer.
I have time to cook and bake (most of the time).
Cake for my son's birthday
And I have time to exercise and be outside.
I even have time to sew (occasionally)!!
Wrap-around reversible skirt for my daughter
Living frugally and having little debt means that I am able to pay my all my bills, to indulge in little luxuries (we currently love going to Goodberries for ice cream once a fortnight) and take my children skiing.
In short, we are wealthy, healthy and more importantly, happy. Life can't get any better than that.
On another note, Kristi is the recipient of the $50 Bunnings voucher giveaway that I had below! Congrats Kristi! Please contact me at my email (address on the right bar) when you can!
I wish you all well.
