1. Now that I have experienced the goodness of this candle, I will never be without one again.
2. My darling Zephie and I have taken to mid day couch snoozes while watching David Attenborough. It's been so lovely to doze off next to him.
3. Garden rewards.
4. Coconut.
5. Weekend slip and sliding almost exactly one year after I wrote this post. Funny how the seasons really do guide us.
6. I've been bleaching all our white linen. Towels, sheets, curtains- nothing will escape the soak bucket. The pleasure this brings me is truly outrageous. Only a nesting woman could be so delighted by clean stuff.
Been looking forward to this all day! So sweet that you and Zephie have a snooze together during the day.... and that backyard photo just looks like one of absolute bliss!
ReplyDeleteGo the bleaching and the nesting. Third trimester. Anything goes.

p.s. Loved the message you left me the other day - it takes a woman who's also thirty-something week pregnant to really understand how another thirty-something week pregnant woman really feels... big love to you too.
I love your crochet blanket next to Zephie :) I'm always amazed at David Attenborough's documentaries! Your bleaching activities are certainly a sign that you're nesting dear Em...

I just love midday sleeps and slip and slide is just the best fun. That ball jar looks beautiful too. Enjoy your nesting Em and have a wonderful week. xx
ReplyDeletetuckered out on the couch. too cute.
ReplyDelete(and today i thought it would be a good idea to scrub and paint the floor of the carport. nesting gone mad!)

oh how lovely, the couch shot and the crochet, gorgeous! The garden smiles...heart-lifting. The bleaching soak-bucket delight so funny...i always wanted to clean behind the fridge, oven and door tops when I was getting ready for the final push! it takes new-life in this house to get a clean oven.xxx
ReplyDeletePerfect napping babe. And my kiddos were out till 6pm (just now) playing with the hose on the trampoline. We are definitely squeezing the very last drop out of our summer! xo
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your shot of water fun in the garden - the joy! I'm a big David Attenborough fan so a program a day sounds like a fantastic idea. This is definitely a time for you to get as many naps as you can... and such a soothing voice to lull you into sleep!
ReplyDeleteOh, dozing on the couch. Wonderful! :)
ReplyDeletenanna naps, slip and slide and nesting are wonderous things to be getting up to Em! Have a glorious week ahead which I hope is still full of lovely naps on that wonderful couch of yours xx
ReplyDeleteOh bliss to the David Attenborough nap with your little man. And that squishy lady baby in frolicking in the sprinkles...gorgeous! A soak bucket is not to be trifled with Miss. Em. They are a thing of beauty I declare. Hope your week is gentle and beautiful :) xx
ReplyDeleteLove the nesting phase, and am in the throes of it right now too (not pregnant though, just fed up with the beautiful mess my family creates!) Hope you get lots of lovely little sleeps before your precious bundle arrives Em, take care xx
ReplyDeleteYour boy dozing on the couch looks so sweet! We've been playing in the sprinkler all week too. So glad to discover your blog, loving it.
ReplyDeletei've never thought to bleach all my white linen! great idea ;-) Love the sprinkler pic, great memories of summers days as a child doing just this.
ReplyDeleteNothing like a bit of nesting. I must admit, I love a nice bleaching.
ReplyDeleteYour images are always a delight Em. And day naps on the couch to David Attenborough, utter bliss. Linking up for the first time...and possibly commenting for the first time too, even though I've been following your blog for a little while now...its so lovely ;-)
ReplyDeleteRachael xx
i think i would like to nap on that beautiful couch also. love all the colors in that shot
ReplyDeleteAbsoloutely gorgeous photo's and those smiles on the kids face having water fun - just precious. Bleaching is the best and I have no idea why but white, whites - who knew! Have a totally gorgeous week with plenty of couch napping. xxx
ReplyDeleteYou had me at coconut. Well, that and napping- uber jealous! Xx
ReplyDeleteAt least the summer time is the best time to be nesting and snoozing on the couch. Have a lovely week.

I sat down with cooper to watch Africa on Saturday evening, was certainly a lesson in nature, the baby turtles were eaten, as we're the fish, the birds and every other beautiful animal! All he wanted to see was a lion, haha! X
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny that you shared Zephie snoozing as I have shared my little one snoozing on the chair for this week's' Weekly Stills'. This is my first time I have linked up so thank you for the opportunity. Great way to socialise with other gorgeous bloggers like yourself. H x
ReplyDeleteOh how I wish candles weren't so expensive. I'd love to have one burning in the bedroom of an evening. Love these pictures.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day Em from England. A bittersweet day for me but i love to come here to remind myself that your pictures are good for my soul! That and a brief emotional outpouring is sometimes just what the doctor ordered. I think I like it. So thank you ;) Have a lovely day. It's s=nowing here but it certainly looks like you have the weather for fun!
