A lovely post Sarah. I am grateful that other bloggers take the time to show their gratitude to the good things in life as well. Too much complaining and criticism in our world, and what joy it is to come see an uplifting post with wonderful restful photos to start off the day.
Joy of all joys.
It’s so great when we take the time as well to teach our children to have gratitude and to stop and notice the little things in life. I constantly strive to be better at this, but alas it is a struggle in our bustling world. Your post is such a great reminder to me. Again, thank you and Mr. BC for putting up with you (lol) and your lovely blog. It always bring me joy each and every time I read it, your wit and style is so great and refreshing.

You’d stop dreaming about having a boat the first time you need to get oil! (We gratefully unloaded a boat when we purchased the shorehouse.)

I just love these photos! Always nice to see your life outside of the beach cottage, too.

I’m grateful that you are there in your lovely beach cottage showing us all the things you are grateful for.

I’m thankful for this rainy weekend, a good book and a quilt to snuggle up around. And a nice hot cup of tea.

Hugs,
Gretchen

Ahhh, Sarah! What a beautiful blog you’ve presented us this morning to start our day. Just lovely to view the gorgeous photos you always seem to be so successful at. They alone speak peacefulness and tranquility and I’m always in a better place after visiting your blog. It truly has been my favorite blog since coming into the realization of blogland, and I love how real you are with the ups and downs, the lazy days and crazy days, and just your sharing from the heart.
You have been an inspiration to me throughout this past year or so, and I now look at things differently and love my little visits to Austrailia through your blog. Thanks for being such a gifted blogger and for sharing your soul with strangers, whom you can now call your friends and students. lol I’ve learned so much through your openness and sharing of your beach cottage redo. Love it all-
Gretchen

dear sarah….take time out & relax…

hey..with both my boys at uni…I remember ALL too well the saturday morning sports…
driving back & forward to school about 100 times a day over the westgate bridge in melbourne…(well maybe not quite that many times!!)…
going to school concerts…parent teacher interviews…
kind of thought at the time when will it ever end..??
BUT now with both boys independent…at uni…(both overseas together at the minute)…
I am home alone (hubby away)…AND YOU KNOW WHAT?? I miss the MUNDANE!!!

when you have the mundane life…you kind of think when will it end…
then when it ends. YOU kind of MISS it…if you know what I mean..??
so I think I have realised…MUNDANE is GOOD!! especially as a MUM….
soooo enjoy EVERY MUNDANE moment…
