Loving...Not Loving: Little Things


I'm loving hydrangeas. They are so simple. But so cool. (I'm not loving that there aren't any growing in my garden and I have to surreptitiously "harvest" ones that straggle over fences onto my street...)


I'm loving easy dinners. Nutritious, tasty and gluten free. Not loving the groans I get, "Ohhhhhh what? Nachos again?"


I'm loving my breadmaker. Bought for quarter of it's usual cost, with a gluten free setting. Love that I have perfected the formula. Love that it takes three minutes to put on a loaf. Love that yeasty baking smell and the way my home-baked loaves are soft and delicious. And half the cost of the bricks they pass off as gluten free bread in the supermarkets. Not loving how fast those loaves disappear. they are just too yummy to stay around for long.



I'm big-time loving Brooke Fraser's new album: Flags.
Especially this track. I turn it up loud in the car, and the kids all sing and shimmy with me.



That is one catchy song. (And I'm loving that my six-year-old digs Brookie!)



I'm loving the things kids say.

Darn it I wish I could remember some of them so I could tell you.
Not loving that I've forgotten all the funny things my kids have said to me lately.
You would of cracked up. You really would.

Artist's Impression of The Humidity Aff

Not loving the humidity. Last night it was 100%.
Even my GHD hair straighteners are no match for that kind of frizz.
Last night I straightened my hair to go out to the movies with friends.
By the time I got to the car I had an Aff.
Grrr. Not loving Affs (at least not on me)

But. I am loving going to the movies with friends.
Especially these friends.


I am loving that this friend carries around a red crocheted coffee cup holder in her handbag - made by PaisleyJade. I am loving that she even had a spare one for me which kept my fingertips from being scalded. My husband may have mocked us, and called them hairbands, but our coffees were styley and heat-resistant.


I love PaisleyJade's crochet cup holders. Think I may have to buy me some from here when she gets some more in stock (hint hint).

(However. I am totally in agreement with Gail and not loving Johnny Depp's dweeby-ness in The Tourist)
