RANDOM STUFF...

Ahhhh, isn't life sweet when your chillaxing??

 Daniel is into telling everyone "Hi Dude, PEACE to the WORLD dude!" (Luckily his peace sign he can manipulate his fingers round the right way or it could have the opposite meaning!).

Cool Dude

Todd and I got out for a night on the town (well, really only a dinner and walk round the town, but it was a start). The Wynyard Quarter is equalling pleasing to view at night.

Towards the middle of November, I was lucky enough to get away for a mother's retreat weekend with Recreate NZ. A small group of us mums of kids with special needs took a much needed weekend away at Vaughan Park recreation centre in Long Bay, the perfect setting with the gorgeous beach backdrop. The company, food and view were all fantastic. A much treasured weekend away sharing valuable information, support, laughs and a few tears with like-minded supermums.

Priceless and treasured moments with Mums of special needs children

We even got to explore our arty side with a bit of art therapy conducted by Ursula (an Art History teacher in her 'other" life!).

Lil piece of L'amour

Finished canvas taking pride of place in my dining room beside my other favourite art piece.

The weekend was perfect for rejuvenation, re-energising, relaxation, refreshing and all nice things starting with RRRRRR!!! It was great to meet such a neat group of mums who we have now made connections with for valuable information sharing. Long live the mums weekends!
