cat one, husband zero [finding beauty]

cat one, husband zero @ initforlove
There are some moments, that are just so simply lovely with no agenda to them that just make you smile and have that moment of just feeling completely happy with life in the right now!
Mine comes in the form of a cat – it often does haha.  My husband last night asked me while he was at work, if I could quickly go upstairs and update his PC.  I’d just gotten home from Zumba and was just sitting on the couch, chilling with Millie on my lap.
I looked down and thought.  Actually no, I don’t think I will move. I won’t rush off.  She is so comfortable and excited that I am home and we are having a lovely moment.  So I just sat and enjoyed the quiet house, with a lovely cuddle from my Millie.
Just a simple moment of beauty – because all cats are clearly beautiful – enjoyed on a couch! Unfortunately for hubby, the cat won this round haha!
Happy Friday everyone!

all wrapped up in the season

How wonderful is Christmas!   It’s not for everyone, but for me, as I get older, it really is becoming the most wonderful time of the year (to quote an awesome Christmas song!).

Part of the fun of course is the giving and what comes with giving….WRAPPING!   One of my favourite things, especially with the help of a husband who has to have every single corner completely straight!

Every year I look sadly at last years leftover wrapping paper and head on out for a sweet new festive wrap! I can’t help myself.  It’s one of the things that puts a smile on my dial which is great when it also becomes one of the busiest work times of the year!!!

This year we’ve decided to keep it plain recycled paper with some cute festive string and tags.  The best thing about this paper though, after much debate as to what wrapping paper TO purchase, was that we can use this any time of the year! And at just $3 for 7 metres – cost effective too!

So in all the fun of memoraxing the wrapping that has been done, I get to memorax one other little thing….however unwrapped!

My little Millie – she couldn’t help herself and every time I took a photo she went straight to the back of the tree trying to figure out what on earth I was taking a photo of!  Now how adorable is that….just made this “happy its Christmas” lady even happier!

So to all you lovelies out there, I hope you are find gorgeous little moments to smile and be grateful for amongst the chaos that is the festive season!  The more smiles filled with these moments, the more you become joyful and you can then be merry and bright to someone elses season!
