#30lists / 10. I’m craving…


Today I’m not craving any food! What I’m craving is another life, in another country; it might not happen just now, but we are working on it.

In case you can’t read my handwriting…
10. I’m craving…
  • the sun and warm weather
  • a full body massage
  • an entire day to myself
  • a family holiday
  • time off work
  • a bigger house with a big garden
  • Italy (but not all the time)

The 52 project: week 10

It’s week 10 already, and couldn’t be happier to have started this project. I had lots of photos to choose from this week, but this was my favourite…I’m in love with her tiny white teeth and this face shows what type of little person she has become, she is so funny sometimes she makes us laugh with tears!
This week you:

Learned how to scream from the top of your lungs and practiced every time you wanted to get our attention.

Had your settling sessions at nursery. It went better than expected, and apart from some tears when your dad was leaving, you did enjoy it. And apparently loved the chicken curry!
Turned 15 months (time is flying!).

Attended Sylvia’s birthday party on Saturday and had fun playing with your friends. You tried to blow the candles on the cake, clapped your hands when we sang ‘Happy birthday’ and had chocolate cake for the first time.

Ate soapy bubbles with gusto during bath time.

Had loads of new toys to play with…your dad went overboard 🙂

Danced and danced and danced! Practicing tiptoeing this week.

My favourite portraits from last week were those B/W shots of Aila and Elliot @ Tea with Lucy; it must be the white teeth, but they are just adorable. Go and have a look!

#30lists / 9. Today’s ‘ought do’ list

Today’s list was easy. We don’t do much on saturdays, we just relax, have fun, see friends, go out. And today’s was no different! 

In case you can’t read my handwriting…


9. Today’s ‘ought do’ list
  • Spend time with family
  • Enjoy life
  • Smile
I’ve added a picture of us to today’s list. It’s an old one we took back in December while we were on holiday, but it’s still one of my favourite.

#30lists / 8. Comfort foods

  

Why on earth did I write this list just before lunch time! I had to concentrate very hard not to go overboard by listing all the food that I would actually love to eat right now just because I’m hungry.
If I have to choose, I’d rather have sour food than sweet food, a good plate of chips does to me more than an ice cream. But, whipped cream is my weakness and nothing can beat my mum’s strawberries and whipped cream cake…it’s my birthday’s official cake, the one and only!

In case you can’t read my handwriting…

8. Comfort foods
  • Veggie burgers + chips
  • Cannelloni al forno
  • My mum’s strawberries and whipped cream cake
  • Dark chocolate
  • Hazelnut ice cream + whipped cream
  • Pizza
  • Junk food in general, depending on the level of comfort I need!

As you might have noticed from the picture above, I have finally changed the black pen Ihave been using to write down the lists so far, and that caused a mess on yesterday’s list! As of today, I will be using a black Muji ballpoint pen 0.5,and fingers crossed, for all the remaining lists.

#30lists / 7. In my bag!

I love today’s list prompt! Since I’ve gone back to work, my daughter’s pram bag has been replaced with a big shoulder bag which I never leave! My bag is full of all the important (and less important) stuff that I might need during my day away from home. Needless to say, I hardly use any of the stuff that I carry around, I do work 9-5 after all, but it makes me feel good knowing that if I need it, it’s there for me to use!
My bag weights a ton and there is complete chaos in it, but I love it!

In case you can’t read my handwriting…

7. In my bag!
It’s complete chaos, but I love it!
  • 2013 diary
  • A6 notebook
  • A5 notepad
  • 30lists notebook
  • Moleskine watercolour notebook
  • 2 pentel water brushes
  • 2 mechanical pencils
  • 2 permanent black markers
  • 1 black felted tip pen (the one I’m using)
  • 1 red felted tip pen
  • Watercolours box
  • Small post-it notes block
  • USB pen drive
  • Phone + charger
  • Plastic carrier bag (don’t know why!)
  • Wallet
  • Umbrella
  • Sesame snaps (probably expired)
  • Headphones
  • Glasses cleaning cloth

This list could really benefit from a picture of the bag (and its content!); I might add one to notebook when I get the chance.
The black Staedler pigment liner I’ve been using so far gave up on me today. I tried to fix the text by rewriting on top messing things up even more (I’m the queen of bad fixing solutions!) and ruining the page with today’s list. Following today’s mess, I’m going to use a different pen from now on!
