What makes your heart melt?

My thirteen year old son still thinks I'm pretty awesome!  Bless his little soul.  He's an observant, happy, positive soul and those are of the qualities I admire most in people.
 
We were doing his party invitations and he could not get the printer to work, so I came up and did some fiddling and got them printed.  As he passed me he stops and says one of the reasons why he loves me is that I have "mad" skills.  Ah, I fear when it all fades, but bask in it right now.   But, it just melts my heart.

So I've been editing my little heart out and am about done and have promised myself to have it all delivered by the end of the week as next week I'll be concentrating on my course work.  I'm eager to get more done.  Every little bit of acknowledge I acquire, although initially sends me reeling, helps me become better and hone my skills.
 
I'm still around, just finding that the hours pass so quickly and before I know it, I'm cooking dinner and then there's little chance I'll do the photos then.  But then, Spring is on the way - so maybe I'll pick up my game then with the longer hours of daylight.
 
I'm due for a haircut and colour and need a pedicure before the sandal weather arrives and a little bit of colour wouldn't go amiss either. 
 
I'm loving all the stripes that are in abundance in the stores and can't wait for the warmer weather to show off a new striped dress and t-shirt that I bought last month and the shirt dress I finally found at an awesome price.
 
imageI bought this dress in black as the branch I went into only had only had one green dress which was too small and I was leaving saw one hanging in their window, so I raided their window display to get the black one.  At least the black will be more versatile in my opinion than the green.   I'm also quite happy that peplums are still in for the coming season.  I did not wear them quite as often as I feel I should have last Summer.
 
Well folks, its time to get dinner started ... hope you're had a wonderful Hump Day.

Yesterday was Sunday

I started the morning helping Schatz spread lawn dressing in anticipation of Spring.  I love a thick green lawn so we've started watering and feeding and the dressing is the last of it - except for the continual watering.
I then spent some time puttering around on the pc and then my little guy Liam and I had a coffee date.  We went down to M&B and ended up sharing a caramel chocolate cake and milkshakes. 
It was pretty warm yesterday so I wore my high-low dress, boots and a cardigan. 
Details : Dress : Mr Price | Boots : Rage | Belt : Woolworths | Cardigan : Truworths | Necklace : Woolworths

My cute boy was also wearing purple and we had a pleasant hour or so alone having our cake and eating it and then we did some shopping.

I do so love this dress and I think once the high-low hem is totally a 'no-no' I'll cut it into a straight hem.  I just love the comfy t-shirt material and print of it.
