Did someone say Challenge?

For the next 365 days I plan to post daily pictures of something that made me smile.
I have lots of reasons to smile and I can thank my wonderful Husband and Daughter for that! I can post thousands of pictures and write a million blogs about them but I want dig a little deeper and find beauty in every corner of my life.
Like everyone else my life is not with out its challenges and sometimes I have to remind myself to ''Stop and smell the roses' as the saying goes.
Im just your normal mother and housewife who has found herself caught up in day to day duties and struggles of housewivery? Is that a word? anyway! That is why I chose this subject for my blog. I wont be to posting 'Selfies' non stop and I dont pretend to be a full on photograger. You wont find any pholosophical insights or any political or religeous babble here!
Im sure some days I wont feel like smiling, non the less posting, but I will push through!
Why not post your own reason to smile?
Be it a wonderful view, or a view of a loved ones. Perhaps its a pile of laundry that is nothing to smile about, lets face it, but isn't it still a reason to be thankful for? Thankful for having clothes to wear and wash and thankful for having loved ones to wash them for?!
I think there is beauty all around us and with bit or imagination and persistance we can fill the next 365 days with love.
What made me smile today?
Lets see...
So.. get posting

FLUFFY SOCKS!

Jack Frost has been out and about in the mornings here in Paradise. I know! SHOCK! HORROR! So its time once again to bring out the long sleeve tops, jackets, hats, scarves and Fluffy socks. Well not thick woolly ones! Its not that cold! but after a summer where temperatures reached mid 40's for weeks on end, this is well...cold! We complain all summer about how hot it is, and that we cant wait for winter and now its almost here,and we are already bitching and moaning about how cold its gonna be. What can I say? Its human nature not to be satisfied hey?
One of the great things about winter of course, is Pajama Days. Where you just curl up on the couch with a duvet and some hot drink and just veg.
My daughter is finally old enough now to actually sit through a whole movie without asking a million questions and without demanding me to get up and get her something. In-fact, I, can now be the lazy demanding but lovable;) princess! She can now bring ME snacks and remote controls and stuff.
Dont get me wrong it don't abuse my position or anything but I've waited a long time for this :) and if I get her to bring the chocolate or popcorn or some other snack I do share! Promise.
In all seriousness though, I love to cuddle up with her and have some down time in our PJ's and fluffy socks and watch her favorite movie - she has just discovered High School Musical. Heaven help me!(I feel I'm gonna break out in song any minute now!)

 Some one else who loves to snuggle up with a fluffy sock is Marco!
He is the reason we had to go and buy some new socks and he just couldn't resist Stella's old ones! Its like his blankie now. He will search it out and drag it onto the couch or bed and nuzzle it till he sleepsπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
