Reinventing...

OK, so maybe not reinventing myself, but changing the name of the blog certainly reflects how I feel about our life.

Today I received some new books that I had ordered. One that I've really been looking forward to getting for a year now called The Lilypad List: 7 steps to the Simple Life was the first I poked my nose into. I love Marian's style of writing - like I'm sitting there in her living room with a cuppa having a chat. It's such a heart-warming read and I hope that she doesn't mind me borrowing a line that really jumped out at me and inspired the new title of the blog.

I think too that it's a positive affirmation to myself when times seem a little frazzled around here, or I'm being a bit impatient with the kids, or not living in the moment that I can reconnect with myself, the kids and all my hopes and dreams.

And to once again feel grounded.

It's funny, when your life and what you have gets taken for granted and becomes "ordinary" and then a shake up like one's health happens - it really makes you reflect and realise how important and appreciated those "ordinary" choices really are.

I certainly love our simple life.
