August, you were a rollercoaster.

Big fat chunk of a busy month, was August.  There was good, there was bad, there were fun times & stressful ones, but the final tally says yes, August was actually pretty awesome.

There was a lot of picnicing (inbetween the positively biblical rains), there was gardening (yes, I'm still hooked, we did harvest stuff and everything.), there was my first ever week of solo parenting (I was a glum & gloomy mardy bum, but I survived, go me!), there was time spent at the beach, and at the park, and on the whole, in spite of occassional aforementioned monsoons, it mostly felt decidedly like summer, which was lovely.

Summer holidays don't really mean a whole lot to me yet, what with Dylan only being 2 and not going to nursery yet, but I'm still feeling the pain of friends with little ones getting ready for going back to school - or in some cases - the epic milestone that is FIRST day of school.  It's making me cherish every single day I spend with little legs - and even moreso every one that we spend as a family.

Time goes waaay to quickly - especially when there's a small person in your life, so my little nugget of wisdom for today, is just enjoy every moment of it and embrace the happy in the little things.  That's what I've been doing, see:

And so, onwards to September.  There's a bit of a chill in the air, a promise of Autumn, and even a birthday for yours truly!  (yes, that's right, I'm 25 again.  ahem.)  Let's hope it rocks.
