this is a great reminder to live in the moment. i’ve been trying to do that more lately and my kids have enjoyed the spontaneous outings to the park or out for an ice cream.

I have had that same article, or at least the first part, photocopied and stuck on my fridge for years now. It was written by Erma Bombeck.

Candance, You have a gift for writing. I just love how you put things. This post was great and has left me with much to ponder….and, can I just say I love the thought of not passing up dessert just in case your not around tomorrow.

Destri – you’re so sweet to ask – I”m fine really! And, what a sweet eye opening post by Candace!

It has been a busy week for me, I really haven’t felt myself and I have a craft show at the end of April I’m already prepping for and that pretty much sums it up for me!

I haven’t been around blog land much – popping in now and again – just not commenting – which is my habit when I get busy!

Thanks for asking – it means more to me than you know!

Great post Candace!!
I think we need reminders EVERY DAY to slow down and enjoy these kids while they are little. It’s quite a wake up call to realize that in 3 1/2 years my first will leave to college. I can tell you that the years absolutely FLY by!

Great post. I have to say that I will always consider my having had cancer a gift because it taught me to slow the heck down. When I feel myself getting sucked back in to the habit of not seeing the world around me I take myself back to that time of chemo and bald head and endless doctors appointments. The moment I was diagnosed life became more vivid. But it doesn’t just stay that way. Sometimes I have to work to see the color.

cheers to you on indulging. Simple pleasures. You deserve every simple pleasure.

Oh now there’s a coincidence. Roo’s into picnics at the mo too, we have an inside one, he lays out his napkins to make a table cloth, gathers plastic baby plates and the plastic baby cutlery, then gets his play food inerspersed with the odd little sandwich or piece of fruit that I am trying to get him to eat! So far we have enjoyed the return of bananas in our lives along with finely chopped ham in cream cheese and put into a baby bagel! Even Mr 16 month likes to join in…. so you’ll be round for tea at 4pm then???????
