the decorating has begun....

Yesterday we began to decorate the house! So exciting. Baya seemed confused as to why we'd have a tree in the house! And she was more interested in taking stuff off the tree than putting it back on! The house is looking festive and cosy. Today we're making paper chains!

One Word

One Word.
Encapsulate the year 2010 in one word. Explain why you’re choosing that word. Now, imagine it’s one year from today, what would you like the word to be that captures 2011 for you?

a weekend in kent

one of the things on my 29 Things list was to take the train down to my sisters in Kent. i'd always put it off before thinking that it would be too expensive, and too difficult a journey to attempt on my own with 3 girls. however, when i looked at the booking site, train tickets were only going to cost me £30 return, the journey meant 4 changes, and i could walk between stations in london thus avoiding the underground. so i booked!

by the time it came to actually go i was wondering what i'd gotten myself into... the thought of the long train journey was a little daunting... and i wasn't sure i could do it.

but did it i did! the journey both ways passed without a hitch, we made all of our connections no problem, found our way across london without getting lost, and had a great weekend!

my girls loved playing with their cousins, Baya especially loved seeing the chickens in their garden. we had a lovely chilled weekend catching up, it'd been a whole year since we'd seen them, with baya just being a teeny baby at the time.

kent was great, beautiful and sunny, and i didn't want to come home! so i'm sure we'll be repeating the journey in the not too distant future. tho next time i think the rucksack needs to weigh a little less!

Gardening

Found my mojo hiding somewhere, have given myself a kick up the butt and got going on some gardening (a little later than I planned but still..)

We've decided that we just don't have the time to commit to our allotment and do as much there as we'd like, it's difficult for me to do much on my own there with the little one, it's a half hour walk there and back, so it takes a big chunk of time out of my already full days to even pop there for a 'quick' watering session.

So we're going to do our growing at home, we have onions and garlic in the allotment so when they are harvested we'll make a final decision as to whether to keep it or let it go.

I managed to find some great bags in town the other day, similar to what I'd seen in an organic gardening catalogue, to use to grow our potatoes and squash in (and for a fraction of the price!)





We got the first lot of potatoes in yesterday, and the next bags are filled up and covered, soil warming watiting for more things to be planted in them.





Also yesterday I sowed lots of seeds: peppers, mint, oregano, butternut squash, chili peppers and sunflowers for the girls! Am going to buy some new strawberry and tomato plants as I lost all last years babies when we moved house.

Goddess Year Workbook

I noticed a link on Em's blog for Goddess Leonie's workbook and planner for 2010.



In Goddess Leonie's words:

"Dream, plan & grow your amazing new year with the 2010: Creating My
Goddess Year workbook & planner. It's an instantly downloadable PDF
filled with 40 rainbow pages of worksheets to help you dream,
manifest, set your intentions, plan & cultivate your 2010.
There are two things I adore… dreaming big and then making stuff
happen to make those dreams come true.  I’ve put all my favourite
power tools into this kit to help you dream up your year, and then
make it happen."


I've been feeling lost the last year and this is just what I need to focus my thoughts and realise what I want to achieve in 2010.


If you'd like to get your own copy go to Goddess Leonie's site. I can't wait to fill mine in and dream my amazing year!
