Lil C just sat there and smiled and giggled i could tell he was enjoying watching his brother look like a gooose!

January 8th

Love The Momment Challenge - Run outside together for no reason

Il admit i dont play outisde enough with Master J

hes a very boystrous little man with loads of energy and mummy well i just cant keep up

So this challenge was a great way for me to get out there and just be a kid again!

Thats exactly how i felt running around without a care in the world

Master J laughed and squealed in delight

will definatly be doing this challenge more often

it reminds me of my child hood

January 9th

 Love The Momment Challenge - Have a family group hug

I love our little family hugs and our happened early this morning while we were all laying in bed.

Master J just loves to hug his little brother so thats what got it started then he wanted us all to hug together

I thought that was really special, he instigated a family hug

Its a great way to just let everyone know they are special and valued in your family

Love The Momment - January 3rd, 4th and 5th

January 3rd

Love The Momment Challenge was - Smell Flowers

We had a beautiful day here on the 3rd a perfect day to go outside and take time to smell the roses

Literally!

We have nothing but rose bushes out the back

So i took Master J out the back and picked the rose bush that was closest to his smelling height and showed him how to smell them

"Oooo pretty, Joshie do"

so Master J walks up to the rose has a sniff..

Reaction.. crinkled up face and ewwwww

hahaha

oh well i guess pink roses arent everyones cup of tea

Love The Momment Challenge - Get Down on My Childs Level and Smile at Them for No Reason

This was a very cute challenge

Master J is rather boystrous to say the least

So when go down on his level and smiled at him he looked at me with wide blue eyes

and

Just hugged me

it was so sweet i lvoe getting big hugs for no reason other then he must love his mummy ;)

As for Lil C it was easy to just stare in his eyes see his innocence

and once again get the biggest gummiest smiles you ever did see!

January 5th

Love The Momment Challenge - Put Music on and Dance for 3 minutes

This has been my favourite challenge so far!

I had my chance with Lil C this morning while Master J was at daycare

Usher came on the tv and Lil C just went quite.. and was mesmerized by the video clip (thats my boy)

so i picked him and started grooving

HE LOVED it giggling and laughing, smiling and drooling

Once Master J came home we chucked on his favourite wiggles CD

and away we went!

He too was laughing and jumping around having the time of his life

By the end of it mumma was knackerd lol

but wow i had so much fun and even better so did my babies

Love The Momment - January 2nd

January 2nd

second day of 2011 and 2nd day of Be A Fun Mum's

Love The Momment Challenge

Todays Challenge was too

"Hold hands and Jump around in the kitchen"

How much fun does that sound??

My partner had taught Master J a little song that made Lil C smile

"Go Coco Go Coco Go Go Go Coco"

and Master J had been singing it to himself and to his brother all day!!

So i saw the opportunity and whilst holding Lil C grabbed Master J's hands

and did a little jumpy around dance

(quite hard with a 16 week old in your arms)

Whilst singing the above chant.

Master J LOVED IT!

he had the biggest smile on his face he was laughing away and even held Lil C's hands and danced away with him which in turn made him smile and laugh

It was such a beautiful momment

Such a simple thing yet something that il remember forever

So make sure you head on over to

Love The Momment - January 1st

if you saw my last post you would have seen that i am particpating in a beautiful challenge entitled

Love The Momment

It is the creation of kelly over at

Be A Fun Mum

Where she inspires all us mummas and dads too to reclaim the joy of parenthood.

"The Love the Moment Challenge 

is about creating and capturing moments. 

To treasure moments.

To make sure the moments don’t get missed. 

 To love the moments because they are so very precious."

- Kelly @ BAFM

So today, January First 2011

i have already completed half (because i have two boys) of the very first Love the Momment task being

“take 1 minute to look in your child’s eyes”

i was able to do this, this morning when i was feeding Lil C we both sat there just staring into each other eyes like we were the only two people in the world

it was an azaming feeling one that brought tears to my eyes.

I could see his innocence, i could see that i am his everything, i could feel the love i have for him swell.

The second half of this challenge for me personally is too try and grab 1 full minute with the very Boystrous Master J

I think this may have to be done in lots of 30 seconds but i will get that full minute one way or another!

I think this is an amazing idea helping to remind us all about the small things that may go unnoticed.

2011 is the year to change all of this

The year to share with your children these tiny little momments

The Year where the birds and the wind, the grass and the sky, a hug and a kiss don’t go unnoticed.

Love the Moment

Head on over to

Be A Fun Mum - Love The Momment

and grab the January month Calendar with all 31 momments

and start loving your momments right now!

New year New MEEEEEEEEEE

Its here 2011 has knocked on that door and bashed its way through!

What a year 2010 was!

I laughed, i cried, i loved and i learnt boy did i learn!

I made amazing new friends, lost old ones and got closer to existing ones

I gave birth to my 2nd beautiful boy Lil C, my little Owlet, my blessing in disguse

I watched in awe as Master J took leaps and bounds in his speech and development my boy is no longer a baby or a toddler hes a full blown little boy! i couldnt be prouder =D

I said goodbye to "mom" when she followed her heart to America

But i said hello to one of her friends who has become my surrogate mum

Overall it was a cracker of a year Amzaing Highs but crushing lows

yet i wouldnt change a thing

I've grown so much as a woman and a mother that all the heartache and defiantly all the Smiles are well worth it.

So now im left asking what does 2011 bring?

the Answer... PLENTY

ive got millions of ideas running through my head and inspiration all around me

Here a few of my aims and goals

Inspired by the Lovely Holly over at Good Golly Miss Holly i am aiming small and setting the goal of losing 5kg to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight

Im also particpating in Be A Fun Mum's "Love The Momment"

"Where the birds and the wind, the grass and the sky, a hug and a kiss don’t go unnoticed. Love the Moment." - Kel from Be A Fun Mum

I will also attempt at getting my creative side out and in the fresh air with loads of ideas already brewing in my pretty little head

(yes i jumped on that bandwagon too)

I WILL get Organised... even more than i already am 

and with The Organised HouseWife and the amazing OTi Organiser by my side it WILL happen

(yes i get excitied over organisation)

and last for today but certainly not least for this year

I will continue with my Blogg ive got loads of posts in my pretty little head and will be having a fabulous makeover in the weeks to come.

Can you tell my pretty little head isnt so little and very full?

On that note i hope you all have a fabulous first day of 2011

Mine has been amazing so far im off to hang some washing and go plant some vegies with Master J

(another goal is too grow our own vegies)
