Update...

Well, it's nearly 2 yrs now since I started my weight loss journey and I feel amazing... I've lost 29kgs in total... I'm now at a point, where I can fluctuate 1-2kgs either way, and not stress...

I'm loving running... it's so fun... the gym - is my happy, quiet, child-free place :)

The kids are all growing up so fast...

Paris and Josh have both turned 16 in the last 2mths, Axel is 4 now, and Cammy is about to turn 7!!

My kids make be so proud to be their mumma.

Paris is currently fundraising to go to India in January 2017 as part of World Challenge with a group of 17 other students from her school. They will trek for about 9 days, then do community work in a village for a few days, and then spend a few days doing all the tourist stuff... she is so very excited about it, and I am extremely jealous haha  We have to fundraise alot of money - but it's worth it.

WOW.... it's been awhile...

I can't believe it's been so long since I was on here last... sometimes life just takes over and time runs

away on you completely.

I guess I start re-blogging with some sad news...

In the wee hours of February 15th {4.15am to be precise} my darling Nana very peacefully left this earth.  I honestly believe she died of a broken heart as she had pined for Grandad every day since he passed...

I miss both my grandparents like crazy... It's been 11mths since Grandad passed but it still feels like it was yesterday... and my Nana... well obviously, unlike with Grandad, we had NO warning what so ever that the last time we spent with her, was going to be the last time we ever saw her.

Me, hubby and the kids, actually took Nana to the Zoo not to long before she passed, so I got some awesome photo's of her with the kiddies... I smile often when I look at them... 

Anyway... signing off for now... if there is one thing I have learnt in the past year... it is, Keep making memories... treasure every moment you have with your loved ones xx

Grandad

At 1pm on Monday 20th October 2014 with the love of his life by his side, my grandad took his final breath and very very peacefully left this earth.

Cammy turned 6 during the school holidays... he wanted a frozen party

we had a great day ice-skating with a few of his friends and finished off the day with cake... here are a few pics of the day

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...

following on from this post about finding myself this year, I thought I would post my progress shots...
