Just breathe...

I'm sorry, did someone say it was Christmas?

Life has gone by in a blur these past few weeks and it seems I have blinked and missed all the excitement leading up to Christmas Day...

I do however remember the lounge room floor covered in piles and piles and wrapping paper, boxes and packaging, the million wet beach towels and piles of discarded clothes littered around the pool, the 8 loads of washing, the rather embarrrassingly large collection of empty alcholic beverage bottles, the 2 fridges crammed full of food, desserts and condiments.
And of course I also remember the family times, the love, the laughter and the looks of delight on the little ones faces.

Now I am looking forward to taking a breath and just being...
No rushing, no time contraints, just doing whatever we please over the next 2 weeks. Reading magazines, catching up on blogs, reading the new Paulina Simmons book, watching a few movies, lazing by the pool or beach, sewing, shopping...ahhh.
