First aid kit

Another favourite of mine. Johanna and Klara Söderberg are sisters from Sweden.Both girls are so adorable. I love watching there Bohemian like Music videos. I feel like sometimes they must of bought some of there clothing items from here??? Not only do these girls play instruments but there voices together are the perfect combination but they have incredible Vintage bohemian style. 

I can listen to there songs over and over and i still love every song so much and they never get old. 

I love when siblings join up and make music together. I bet the parents of these talented sisters are proud as punch. 

Maybe i could give them a call and ask if i can join them if Mountain men aren't keen? I'll defiantly tell them i can play a mean triangle! If my similar wardrobe or voice doesnt win them over that is. 

The community steps up

Last week a friend of mine, that's not only new to my life but new to Thora Valley, fell very very ill.
Justine is a loving and gentle mother of 3 and she is here alone. I received an early phone call from one of her neighbours telling me, she was brought by ambulance to hospital in the early hours of the morning.
Justine ended up staying 6 nights in Coffs Harbour hospital with septic pneumonia. 
Justine was aloud to go home but later told me that the doctor instructed her to be on bed rest for 2 weeks, We both looked at each other and laughed. 
Justine has 3 children, a 6 month old baby girl, 20 month old baby boy and a gorgeous little 6 yr old son. 
Justine is trying to surrender herself and just accept the help. This is so hard for so many of us, but in this community you don't have much hope being left to do anything alone, especially when your not well. 
I put a call out on my Instagram and Facebook accounts. I have been totally overwhelmed with offers of food and help for justine.
Even one of the Restaurants heard about the food drive and donated a meal. I was happy to deliver this delicious smelling delight, with others all the way to Thora. 
So if you have offered your support, I thank you so so very much. I appreciate all the meals and I know Justine will also. 

I craved for this caring community for so many years.

Sunny warm winter days.

I still have so many pinch myself moments. I cant believe, I am living this life. The life I  dreamed off for myself and my family for so many years. I have the most wonderful friends. I live in a town that really does match its postcards. I am, we are apart of such a caring and vibrant community. I really hope I never take any of it for granted.

Family isn’t always blood. It’s the people in your life who want you in theirs; the ones who accept you for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile, and who love you no matter what  

A night in the mountain's.

A few weeks ago I was asked to come away for the night by a friend, she promised a night of fun with good food and good company and hopefully some laughs. That all sounded wonderful for me as we all needed a break from the challenges of being a parent. Of course I agreed, this sounded perfect and exactly what I needed.

So I grabbed my winter warmies and packed my car and we headed up to the mountain. We were heading to Dorrigo to a wonderful little cottage owned by a very kind man Chris. As we pulled up to Chris's we were greeted by Tash and Julie-Anne and the excitement was in the air. I really wanted to walk around the property and take in all I could before the sun went down. Already the air felt cold and crisp.

We all had prepared and brought something along to share.
I wont bore you with all the details but I would like to say how greatfull I am to Natasha for organising this relaxing getaway. I am truly so greatfull to have so many supportive friends in my life.
The night was full of much needed laughs, great music and yummy food. I do love a group of women together that feel free to talk about well everything and we did. My body was relaxed by my belly and mouth was sore from laughing.

Along with my friend Sophia we took over 233 photos of this gorgeous little cottage I hope you enjoy them.
