Sick days

I guess you have begin to wander did I gave up writing this blog... No! But we had a really tough week :-( firstly duoBRO got sick with a flu and then I got the same thing, and it hit me really bad. And all I can say now is that I hope that wounds will heal soon.

It all made me be even more thankful for the good health, because really, the worthiest gift you can ever have is your good health. Without it almost nothing matters.

My post about gratitude for health somehow got unpublished when I had all that mess with photos on the blog, so I am republishing it again cos I think it should not be lost.

Another thing I was so thankful this week was having our relatives so close to us. Especially my mum and my mother-in-low. I would not survive this week without them! Literally!!! And my dad and father-in-low who are always here to help us.
Thank you all for everything you are doing for us. You are awesome and we love you so much!

I really hope everything will go back on track very soon and we will have our regular rhythm of life.

I hope you guys, who are reading this, had better days then we, and that you are ready for the new week.

Thanks for stopping by.

Thankful thoughts

Here is the most important thing I'm thankful for: health of my family!

This post could on, and on, and on, because we should really be aware of this great gift, but I will keep it very simple.

I'm thankful that we wake up every morning without any pains and don't use any medications. I'm thankful that we can see, listen, hear, taste, smell...I'm thankful that we can walk, run, jump... I'm thankful that we can eat any kind of food and don't have any problem with it (but I must say that we try very hard to eat as healthy as possible). I'm thankful that we can kiss and hug each other and know what it means!

No matter what stage of life we are in, I’m sure all of us are, or would like to be, thankful for our health.

Instead of thankful thoughts

The first month of my blogging is over, so instead of thankful thoughts I'm gonna write a review of my experience so far.

First of all I must thank you all for reading this blog and for coming back here :) The messages of encouragement when I announced that I started to blog meant so much to me. All your comments for some posts were very motivating and definitely showed me that I should continue with this 'little' project. 

But, as you might have noticed, I gave myself a pretty tough task to blog every day. Even if I had at least ten posts written before blog started, it was a big challenge to keep up this schedule. I think in the near future I will have to change it. However, I will stick to it during March.

This stretches me more than I thought I could handle, but in the good way. Because of this, I finish things that normally I would put a side. I think more about so many stuff. And I see things in different perspective. I also explore, read, look, imagine and find inspiration, not just for the things currently interesting for me, but for the ones I will use in the future projects or the things other people might find interesting and useful. The only thing that hasn't change is my relation to my family. They are still my biggest priority and I think that I would do everything what I'm doing with them, no matter blogging or not.

For the last thing in this post I will show you a bit of statistics. At first I didn't plan to share this, but I've done a little research just to check how well am I doing, and guess what, for the first month I'm doing really good :) But it is hard to find this kind of informations, so to ease any other blogger looking for it, here are my stats for the first month of blogging:

 And here are links to top 3 posts for this month:

1. Challenge day

2. Baby flower headband

3. Homemade lavalamp

I'm happy because all top three posts are different type of activities and belong to different days in the schedule, so I guess you are interested in all the things I babble about :)

I don't want to make this post ridiculously long, so I will stop now!

Thank you once more for reading, and supporting, and please feel free to comment here when ever you like or send me an email, ask questions, suggest changes, or anything what comes to your mind...

Have a nice day.

Thankful thougths

Of course there are more important things, and I'm sure I will be writing about them soon, but I'm really thankful for the Internet.

I ask myself often how did actually people get the informations they need before Internet era?! Now you just type anything you like to know and PUFF, hundreds of possible places to check for what you looking for. Or even if you looking for some specific word, no need to read it all, just type ctrl+f+word and there you have it... isn't just simplifying everything?

I must say that I'm extra thankful for internet while I'm on maternity leave cos I have to stay at home a lot, and if there wasn't Internet I'm not sure how would I know what is going on in the world. 

And while I'm breastfeeding my baby, I'm pretty sure I would fall asleep every time if I didn't have (OK) my smartphone and WiFi :) and with it I can 'talk' to my friends, plan some activities, find recipes for that day's lunch, or just explore blogland...

So, bottom line, I think we are privileged to live in this time of free informations and I think it wouldn't be possible if there was no Internet.

Thankful thoughts

The other day a beautiful thing happen, my little boy was thrilled with idea to hold his little sister in his lap!:-)
For the first time! :)

I'm so thankful for having this two little stinkers and I'm so thankful for the moments like this :-) I love them so much, I love seeing how they grow affection for each other. DuoSis became fond of her brother I think as soon as she was born. It's enough to hear his voice and she is like spelled, looking at him all the times...
On the other hand, that is not the case with this little boy. He loves her alright, but she has to be on some distance and don't bother him at all. So I appreciate these moments where he shows how he really feels about her.

What are your experiences with siblings love? Any advice?

Thankful thoughts

So, did you check blog Schedule? It is all written in the one of the tabs. Of course it is changeable, but I will try, for some time, to stick to that.

Today is Sunday so it is time for some thankful thoughts. We are really trying to be thankful for ordinary things in our life, and not to take 'small' things for granted. Some people would do anything for something that other people don't even notice, like clean water, fresh air, toilets, fridges, shoes, the list is endless.

In the future posts I'll be more specific what I am thankful for, but for now here is the quote which I like very, very, very much.

{I couldn't find source for this photo :( }

I hope you had a wonderful weekend and that you are ready for tomorrow and first kid activity idea.

Thanks for reading.
