10 things I leant this week!
10. Its important to practice patience (& just let things happen in their own time)
a dreamy song for a dreamy afternoon.
"There are those who think that I’m strange
They would box me up and tell me to change
But you hold me close and softly say
That you wouldn’t have me any other way"
all my children
Life is peculiar in a wonderful way sometimes. earlier today i started thinking about the sweet letters lots of bloggers write to their future husbands. I am a huge believer in passing down advice and wisdom to the generations to come. So i then began to ponder about writing letters to my future children.well, sure enough- when i was exploring the blog-o-sphere later today i stumbled upon this new site "advice for all my children". it is quite interesting & honest. i really fancy it.
here are some of my favorites so far:
What advice would you give?
Girl im in love with you
This ain't the honeymoon
Past the infatuation phase
Right in the thick of love
At times we get sick of love
It seems like we argue everyday
We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow
This ain't a movie no
No fairy tale conclusion ya'll
It gets more confusing everyday
Sometimes it's heaven sent
Then we head back to hell again
We kiss and we make up on the way
Cuz we're ordinary people
My Dad!
My dad explaining diabetes to me.
Dad-“Insulin which comes from the Latin word Insula, meaning; small island; named from the fact that insulin is secreted in the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. You know, you should really learn Latin.”
Britt “Why, it’s a dead language.”
Dad “Because it’s the language that all languages are built upon, it’s important to know the origins of the works you speak.”
Britt “I think in this day and age, you should just be happy that I know what the word is and can say it without dribbling.”
Dad “Good point”
It was a lovely weekend filled with love and laughter.
Ive had a truly great week. The boyf surprised me with a weekend at the lovely Watermark Hotel to celebrate our 9mths of love. We ate our favourite restaurants, sipped cocktails at the Q1 and just enjoyed each others company.
One Sunday, it was my Mum's 51st birthday, and Paul and I drove up to my wonderful friend Tracey to pick up the elephant for the top of Mum's cake {Please see pictures} Paul and I cooked dinner and bake the cake from scratch {I scratched open the box and baked} Then after we were all full, we sat around and played cards.
