Peace
This is our place for two nights! Lovely spot at Hawley beach.. Our daughter rang when we got here to say she’d had her 1st car accident and written off the car! Tears where flowing as shock set in.. We left the 3 younger kids with their aunty & younger kids and traveled back to Launceston to meet Nicola in the hospital – another hour in the car.. We picked up nik went to the car yard to check out the car and took Nikki to her grandmothers and finally headed back here to ‘really’ start our 2 day break! Today started with news that a friend had lost her husband yesterday, just 4 months after she lost her son (we have been thinking about Lisa and her kids all day!). Then Nikki’s accident and all the driving, well we really...
Love where you live!
After a few hours ‘starting’ to clean out the spare room, it’s time to sit, have a glass of wine and ‘love where we live’ I hope you love where you live AND take time to appreciate it? X
What can we learn from Tash?
Some years ago – in fact 3 years ago my youngest daughter decided to read stories to raise money for the MS Read a thon. Tash read a book every day in the month of June/July 2008 and we recorded each reading.. Then we posted the videos to youtube and her blog, readwithtash.com.. The most popular stories were by far the Dr Suess stories. I recently visited Tash’s Youtube channel and found out that the follow story: Green Eggs and Ham , has been watched 40,601 times since the 22 July 2008.. In my work life this kind of reaction is very exciting – I’m not entirely sure what we should do with this popularity Any idea please let me know? One of the things this does point out is that “popularity” is very powerful on the...
A weekend of sugar
I still haven’t recovered from 2 days of gingerbread house constructing, however all the hard work has been worth it! The kids have not stopped smiling, even the ones who’s roofs caved in are smiling – mind you even a generous sprinkle of icing sugar didn’t hide what appeared to be the result of a major earthquake! It certainly feels like Christmas around here with lots of gingerbread and lollies! The run to Christmas has started in the frost household and I don’t think anything could stop it now
What are you running away from?
That is what my mum used to say to me when I 1st started running almost 18 years ago.. When I’m pounding the pavement/road or track, I often think of this question from my mum. I like to think of myself as a ‘glass half full’ kind of person so instead of saying I’m running away from things I’d prefer to say I’m running towards things! So here goes: instead of running away from a crap marriage all those years ago, I’d say I was running to a much better one!, instead of saying I was running away from my 99 kilos of baby fat, I’d say I was running into the new healthier me, instead of saying I was running away from things that make me unhappy, I would say I run because it makes me happy… Now isn’t that a
Hubby Away :-)
The first official post in my personal blog is about the fact that my husband (Simon) is away for the night. This was a work trip that has unexpectantly become an over nighter.. we rarely spend much time appart, let along the nights So the kids are in bed and Simon is on the phone – “what are you doing honey?” … Um, setting up my blog, finally! Maybe its that fact that he has gone away & I’m at a loose end has meant that I am FINALLY doing some writing? No thats not fair, I’ve just been too busy to ‘make time’.. Have you every noticed how naughty the kids are when their dad is away? Or is it just me? Now that I have started on this adventure, writing a blog, I am determined to continue Ed Dale...
Just Because
Life the Universe & Running!
