Sometimes i wonder if the decisions i make in my life are more influenced by what other people may think rather than what i think is right for me.
It doesn't bother me that my husband wants to get even more tattoo's on his body (he already has his left arm, chest and stomach covered), but because my parents and his parents don't like the idea of it (they think that society will judge him harshly), i find myself saying to my hubby that maybe he shouldn't be getting any more tattoos.. End result = argument! Over what? other people's thoughts?!
Should i really allow other peoples opinions to influence my decisions because i am afraid to be judged by them? Do i just automatically reform to what i think society wants so i can be more accepted? How can I, an independent, well educated woman of the 21st century allow that to happen!! Easy, its human nature to want to be liked and to please others.
Gaining wisdom in my old age =) , i never would have thought of this a year ago.
So what do i do to change this? Well, i haven't figured that one out yet. Its always easy to preach, harder to be converted.. At least i can admit this, right?
Much love,

Oscar
I fell in love this weekend... With the new addition to our family. We would like to welcome and introduce you to Oscar! Isnt he the most precious little thing ever?! He is 5 weeks old :-)
We are not cat people, infact we have always had dogs, but seeing this little face, how could you say no. Im predicting he is going to be a spoilt little kitty.
I hope you fell in love over the weekend, just as i did!
Much love,

Hey lady! That's some crazy thoughts you have!
I always thought that blogging meant I had to be renovating my apartment, moving into a new home, or taking photos of crazy fashion and talking about how they are the trendiest item that you have to own. Through my blog exploration I have realized that is not so! There are people who do not blog about those things, they blog about their lives, work, family, just their everyday thoughts regardless of how random they may be. I think I'm going to do the same thing right here. I'm not restricting myself, instead I'm opening up and writing whatever is on my mind! I didn't realize that it would take me this long to open up!!
I want to mention how I believe that I have grown into a more mature person this past year. It's weird to think that the words my mum spoke to me once would be so true. My mum said "in a years’ time you will look back at what you are doing now and laugh at the way you reacted at certain situations, you will laugh at the small things that used to bother you As we get older our life changes and the years bring different problems". Truer words have never been spoken.
When you are in primary school you get upset because you cannot play with your friends, someone else took your favourite crayon from the box, when you are in high school you worry about whether you have cool friends or wondering why the cute boy in your class hasn’t spoken to you yet. Then you leave school and you realize that none of that mattered, you are going to meet new people, and you are going to make new friends. The crayons no longer matter. Instead you start thinking about what you should do in life, uni, tafe, work, college, travel? There are so many options. Not to mention the dilemma of finding the right outfit for that party on the weekend. Then you get to the party and your boyfriend hangs out with his mates more than you. You get annoyed, so you argue about it for days! Then you get a little older and realize that the parties are now boring, and that u would prefer to spend quality time with the people you love, you realize that arguing with your boyfriend over spending too much time with his mates is nothing compared to the bills that need to be paid, so you start discussing your finances and you get into an argument about that... The cycle is never ending.
Regardless of what stage you may be in your life, you will always have issues and problems. You will always have arguments and disagreements. Things will never be perfect. Part of me growing into a more mature person has involved accepting this. I have learnt to accept my imperfect life as being my perfect existence. At the end of the day, I will argue with my husband over silly little things, I will get annoyed at that co-worker who refuses to co-operate, I will not get enough exercise as I should, I will eat that naughty snack after dinner, and I will be ok with it, because I have a husband who loves me to stick by me through the silly little things, I have a job which provides me with the money to have a home and food, I will enjoy that naughty snack cause it tastes so good, and I will not get enough exercise because I enjoy spending so much time snuggled up to my husband. Health is your number one priority, so leave the stress in the past, focus on the positive and you will make it through any problems life may bring
Life is good, you just need to accept the imperfections and laugh it off. This is probably the most important lesson my mum has ever taught me. I love her for it..
What are some things your mum has said that have stuck with you?
Much love
