favourite places

everyone has a favourite place... a place where they love to go, to relax, to think, to go and be alone with their thoughts... for me, this place is Ruakaka Beach early in the morning... I was up in Ruakaka for the 2nd week of the school holidays, and went for a few runs down to the beach, where I would then take a break, sit and relax... I took this photo during one of these breaks, and I love it...

Hot, Hot, Hot

Summer is amazing... you just gotta love it :)

And I do... but the difference between this years summer and previous years summer is I am 32 weeks pregnant... and I'm feeling it!! the heat is imense - i've been told it's unusually hot this year anyway and even my non pregnant friends are suffering...

The kids are coping {just}... as long as we take them to the beach every afternoon... and on that note - the beach has been amazing!! The water has been unusually warm also, and you just walk right on in... no having to ease yourself in and work up to putting you head under water... it's blissful

Josh is having a friend come to stay for 3 nights {arriving today} so fingers crossed they behave themselves, cause the biggest thing I've noticed with this heat is my lack of tolerence...
