Treasured Moments (27) – Seven Little Australians & Counting

Do you find yourself falling into a pattern of daily grind, skipping the ‘fun’ activities because you don’t have time or lack energy?
Do creative arts, nature walks, drama, read alouds or spontaneous acts seem only a distant dream in your life?

Yet these Treasured Moments shared with loved ones uplift us, nurture our soul, remind us of the beauty and joy in our lives.

We want Treasured Moments for ourselves, for our children, for our families but how can we make it happen?

… Commitment … Encouragement … Support … Ideas … Plans.

I invite you to join us every Saturday and share your plans and ideas, your targets and goals and your stories … your ‘Treasured Moments’. In this way we may inspire one another, encourage ourselves and start achieving our dreams.

Reading Penderwicks at Point Mouette with Michelangelo, Princess and Jelly Bean,

Introducing All About Spelling to all the children. I am particularly delighted with the enthusiasm in which Princess, Jelly Bean and Jack Jack greet this lesson each day.

Earlier in the week Anna Maria and Carpenter went grocery shopping all by themselves. For two teenagers to be capable of shopping for a month’s worth of groceries for a family of 11 is, I feel, pretty impressive. We’re proud of you guys!

To join in you are welcome to add your post here using the Mr. Linky form (please link to the individual post) and include a link back here. If you haven’t a blog we would still love to hear your voice, just leave your stories in the comments.

Hello Erin.

Well done to your teens on their grocery expedition. We used to do monthly shopping and I must confess it did save on a lot of time 🙂

PS I cant get this weeks Mr Linky form to work. I will try again later. It says I don't have a back link to this post. I have two.

Here is my Treasured Moments post: http://everybedofroses.blogspot.com/2011/10/treasured-moments-5.html

I came across your fine young man on his way to the supermarket. He's grown so much and is very well mannered. You have every right to be proud of both of them.

Hi Erin! Time to get active on my blog – how do I go about entering a 'Treasured Moments' on my site – something about linking back to your site, I think? How does it work?

It may be something I've done! Not sure if I can fix it but will try later.
Thanks:) and it does save time.

You made PC and I smile, thank you:):)

Copy all or part of the 'blurb'. Copy and save the pic into your 'pictures' and then upload. Then write your moments:) and then link back to my post. (If you go to Chareen's – above post, you can see what I mean.)
Then…. you leave your post address at my site in the linky's (except as Chareen notes they are not co-operating at present) so leave a note here and hopefully I can fix. Anyhow if you leave a note I know you've done it and I'll pop over to share your excitement:)

Hey there Erin! 🙂

I couldn't get the linky to work either. http://serenadesandsolace.blogspot.com/2011/10/we-started-off-having-lovely-weekend.html

That is an impressive job for your teens. How wonderful that you can entrust them with that responsibility. 🙂

Ladies I have fixed the problem, well sort of. I have moved back to Linky Tools which doesn't give me the visual on the first page:( I suspect I pay have to look into upgrading.

Catherine
Thank you:) We are blessed.

Once again thank you all for joining in, and welcome to Linda.
