It's time to take stock a little bit, to see what I am currently up to and how things can be improved. I saw this post on Girl Brooks blog and thought it would be a fantastic way of keeping record of my life, it's happens and all the things I've been doing.
Making: Poetry, see the above image for the first poem I've written in years. It's simple, not the best and I could probably do better but I wrote it in two minutes and it fits my thoughts right now perfectly.
New blog posts which are being saved to drafts, they're awaiting pictures but I love being organised with blogging. Plans for the future, the future has been on my mind a lot lately and if I'm honest, the unknown scares me.

Cooking: These past few days I've been making chili con carne and tomato and bacon pasta bake, both are some of my favourite dinner choices. I do need to get more creative with my cooking and try new things though, sweet potato chips are first on the menu!
Drinking: Water, both still from the tap and sparkling with lemon and lime and pomegranate.
Reading: Lots and lots of new blogs and finding so many that are both inspirational and beautiful. Winnie the Pooh: The Complete Collection of Stories and Poems to my little love at his bed time.
Wanting: To get married, a big hug, a new Tangle Teezer (unruly hair!), to have fun!
Looking: Forward to Christmas. It's never too early to be thinking about the 'C' word is it? I need to get preparing. Etsy here I come!
Wasting: Time browsing the net, checking my non-existent emails and refreshing Facebook like there's no tomorrow.
Wishing: He was here. That things were different. For happiness. That I was sitting on a beach looking out to see, the sun warming my skin, the gentle breeze blowing my hair.
Loving: My curly haired boy. He steals my heart more and more everyday with his beautiful presence. The longer, darker nights, Lighting a candle under my oil burner in the evenings, this time of year is so cosy.
Smelling: Like summer. I'm still using my Shiseido Zen Sun which has fragrances of cherry blossoms, bergamot and mango. It's the bottle that never stops giving, I use this everyday and hardly any liquid has left the bottle!
Noticing: Just how amazing the world is. The fact that there are so many time zones blows my mind! I could think about these things all day and still be in awe.
Lusting: After Michael Kors stunning rose gold watches! I've seen so many of my fellow bloggers sporting one recently and I think the gold colour is perfect for autumn. Love!
What have you been up to lately?
I'm such a fan of these posts. And I must hear about this tomato and bacon pasta bake!
You're right- it's NEVER too early to start thinking about Christmas! I've already bought some presents because I'm so excited about it! 🙂
I think of Christmas the moment Christmas is actually over so there's that fun fact about me. I'm a Christmas nut.
Happy Friday - enjoy your weekend!
Thank you Brooks for the inspiration! 🙂
Haha I'm glad you agree Les! I love Christmas! 🙂
Haha, I'm glad I'm not the only Christmas nut Stephanie!
I love these kind of posts! I also drink almost nothing but sparkly water! I'm also a huge holiday fanatic...i'm already pulling out halloween, thanksgiving and christmas decorations to organize and plan where they'll hang! 😉
Your curly haired little boy is simply adorable.
Aww, these posts are so fun! I've been on a huge sweet potato chip kick lately and they're SO yummy! I could eat them for every meal
Thank you Brita! I REALLY need to try sweet potato chips 🙂
I love this! I may have to join along! 🙂
Please do! I thought it was a great idea for a post so had to do it too 🙂
That's a lovely poem! I'm not quite ready for Christmas though. I need to fully enjoy fall first 🙂
Thank you Trish! Enjoy your autumn 🙂
I'm also looking forward to Christmas! Even though Halloween to Thanksgiving haven't passed, Christmas is just my FAVORITE time of year <3
It's just so magical isn't it? 🙂
I did my first currently post this month and thought it was very fun! Sounds like you are doing a lot currently!
I AM doing a lot! I seem to always be.
What a nice way to organize your thoughts and priorities for direction. Love the idea!
Thank you Lavende!
I love these posts! I'm loving sparkling water lately, too. Polar has a lime and pomegranate one that is soooo good.
Sparkling water is the best 🙂
I have the complete collection of Winnie the Pooh stories and I love them. I read them to my two-year-old and probably enjoy them more than she does.
I loved this post! I will have to do something like this on my own blog
It's never too early to start thinking about Christmas--I love all of the fall holidays! 🙂
I love these posts too! I have to know what a Tangler Teaser is though!
Oh I'll have to try the sparkling water with lemon, lime and pomegranate. That just sounds fantastic. Also, your son is so cute!
This is beautiful and inspirational! I love lemon water as well.
Hi Fiona! Sounds like fun 😀 I've also been prepping for Christmas. (there are just too many great gift giving ideas on pinterest - so I'm going to have to start now if I want to be ready by the big day!) Hope you have a great weekend!
They're very sweet aren't they?!
Go for it!
It certainly isn't 🙂
It's a comb that brushes your hair and easily teases out knots so it doesn't hurt to brush your hair.
It's divine! Thank you 🙂
Thank you so much Christen 🙂
Hi Tanya! Haha I've been searching Etsy for gifts, I really need to get off there 🙂 I hope you have a great weekend too!
Lovely post! I am going to have to do one of these! And holy cow! I can't believe Christmas is right around the corner!!
I love sweet potatoes. I haven't tried to make chips though, I have to do that!
Christmas will be on top of me before I know it. We had Christmas lunch here last year, so I least Iget a break this year and don't have to cook!
I could really benefit from making a list like this. Reflecting on my life and what is to come. Thanks for the inspiration. 🙂
Thank you Susan!
I have to make them too! Great that you get to relax this Christmas and not worry about the cooking 🙂
You're welcome! Thanks for reading 🙂
Love these posts! They are very reflective and will be great to look back on.
I love the poem you wrote for that first photo, it's lovely! 🙂
such a lovely inspiring post. I loved I wish I could say i'm drinking plain water insted of Pepsi Twist. Amoung other thins... :)) xo
This is really great, it's always interesting to know thoughts behind people sometimes. I love the poem you wrote at the top.
Oh, it has been awhile since I've done one of these, too! I love reading these types of posts by bloggers. I need to drink more water! Thank you for the reminder!
