#TuesdayTen: 10 Things I Love RIGHT NOW!!!

For this weeks #TuesdayTen, we are inspired by Dana from Kiss My List - Love Lists . We are writing about things that we love! And because it's Valentine's Day this Saturday, it's fitting we do a post about LOVE! So without further ado...here are 10 things that I love RIGHT NOW!

1.  Naps - I am talking about Master M's nap time - although I would LOVE to have a nap right now but this blog post isn't going to write itself. Nap time is "ME TIME" - I get to do things I have to do (clean), need to do (washing) and want to do (blog)...For an hour and a half - it's my time and I treasure it, and sometimes, if I am absolutely knackered I will have a nap with Master M (usually only a short one because he always wakes up 20 minutes later grrr).

2. Coffee Groups - Once a month, I get together with mums that I met at Ante-Natal class when I was pregnant and some new Mums & Bubs that have joined us. I love seeing how much our babies have grown in only 4 weeks - it's amazing. Last month they were crawling on the mat, now they are all standing independently and walking! Crazy! We also have a few first birthdays over the next month, so thats really exciting! It also reminds me that I need to get in contact with the Mums that I met at Ante-Natal class when I was pregnant with Miss B. It will be our 10 year anniversary this year - It would be so cool to compare our first photo when our babies were under 2 months old to now - with our almost 10 year olds! Eek!

3. Blogging - By now, it must be obvious that I have a love for blogging, if I didn't love it, I simply wouldn't do it. It is MY thing at the moment and I am really enjoying sharing tidbits of my LIFE, HOME & FAMILY with you, and I do hope that you enjoy it too (if you are reading this - THANK YOU - You Rock!). I have met some amazing bloggers throughout my journey and have some pretty awesome loyal followers too. I love connecting with people and hopefully inspiring others :) 

4. Organisation - I love organisation! Life, Home & Family can be chaotic at times but being organised is the key to having a stress-free life. I am no expert on being organised, but when I am, boy, everything just runs smoothly! I do tend to put too much on my plate (like now - with selling our house and planning two milestone birthdays PLUS starting work) however, I quickly learn to organise and prioritise things - oh and the fact that I thrive on pressure sometimes adds a bit of excitement into the mix. (Read more about it here: It's All Happening). 

5. To-Do Lists - I adore To-Do Lists! I love them and need them to keep things organised in my life. I write to do lists everyday! They came in very handy over the weekend when I created a To-Do List for each designated area in the house of jobs that needed to be done (de-cluttered, organised, cleaned, fixed, installed etc) - it was a great feeling having to cross off each and every one (well almost) of the jobs before the professional photographer came to take photos for our marketing package. 

6. De-cluttering - Okay, so I have already admitted in previous posts that I am a sentimental hoarder, however I still can de-clutter! (See 20 Day Challenge) I am getting better at letting go of things (honest)! No better time to give your house a TOTAL de-clutter makeover when you put your house on the market and get ready for open homes! Every room in the house has been de-cluttered, cleaned and organised - in fact, my car boot is full with stuff to drop off to the op-shops. I was actually quite ruthless with some items (go me). I have moved excess stuff into the garage. Everything is in clear containers, labelled and nicely stacked against the wall - so it's not too overwhelming for my partner (*who allowed me to do this - bless him). 

De-cluttering is good for the Mind, Body & Soul - I just wish I wasn't a sentimental hoarder  - makes things harder lol (well that's my excuse and I am sticking to it!)

7. Ikea Catalogues - My friend, the fabulous Yvette from Studio Y  came over this week for a coffee & catch up (oh and to get some funky nail art done)...and she happened to bring with her - Ikea Catalogues - and oh my golly -I {LOVE} IKEA! They have some Ah-Mazing stuff - a girl can definitely dream! I will enjoy sitting down with a cup of tea and flicking through the pages of these catalogues! 

8. Photography - Yes I love to dabble in photography. I love the FMS Photo a Day Challenge via Fat Mum Slim, as it gets me to think outside the square for each prompt that is given and I have managed to capture some really amazing photos using my Canon EOS DSLR camera (which I LOVE). I share my photos via Sunday Share & Instagram.

9. Cup of Bell tea - I can be quite fussy when it comes to having a cup of tea. I blame my parents (lol) for always having Bell teabags when I was younger. It was ingrained in my mind as a teenager and when I moved out of home, that was one item that was (still is) always in my shopping trolley - a box of Bell tea (Original). I am Bell girl, not a Dilmah, Lipton or whatever other random brands are out there...I love a good cup of Bell tea - to the point that I will (sometimes) have my own teabags in my bag. (haha please don't judge me)

10. My family - Saving the best for last - I love my lil family! My partner and my kids are my world, they mean everything to me!!! PS. Happy 'Valentines Day' to my partner - Love you babe xx
