On my mind ...

This is a Friday photo feature that anyone with a blog can join. It opens the door to us sharing our lives through these photos and gives us all a new way to discover each other, and maybe form new friendships. Your photo should show something at home that you're thinking about TODAY. If you're in another country you should join in when you read this, even if it's still Thursday.

To take part, all you have to do is post a photo, write a short caption explaining it, and link it back to here. Please write a new post, don't link to an older one. When your photo is published, come back and add a comment below, with a link to your blog photo. Please visit all the blogs that appeal to you and leave a comment. If you are wondering why no one has commented on your On my mind post, maybe it's because you haven't commented on anyone else's. Slow down, take the time to cruise around and enjoy your cyber visits.


Today I'm thinking about our trip to the Gold Coast on Sunday to have lunch with Shane, Sarndra, Kerry and Sunny.  It's been a while since we've seen everyone, though we talk frequently on the phone.  I have to remember to take every thing with us especially the nappies sent by Rebecca at Bean Sprout Bubba.  I'm so pleased with them, the quality is excellent and I'm sure the new mums and babies will love them too.  We also have some bits and pieces that I've sewn, a tiny bit of knitting and a cot.  Oh, and Shane asked if I could bring a homemade lemon meringue pie, so I'll make that on Saturday and pop it in my basket.  Who knew that preparing for a new baby as a grandma would be so heart warming and exhilarating!

  4. My younger cousin recently had a little baby girl. She is so adorable. This made me think about when the right time to have a baby is. I was hoping for insights from those of you that have been there before or are thinking about this as well. Thanks!

  6. It's a step back in time looking at those nappies Rhonda. Today my girl is 18 but it seems like yesterday I had her in nappies (cloth of course) and cuddling her in my arms.

  7. Lucky you Rhonda, to be seeing the babies' mommas and pappas and spending a day talking babes, and then later, watching them grow. My grandbabes...although not babes anymore, the eldest turns 16 next week..are in the US, and although I was there for each of their births, I had just a few weeks with them, and the next time I saw them they'd be toddlers. I don't have a blog, but I guess what's on my mind as I read yours was pride and love that I have these 4 gorgeous g/children, and sadness that I've missed out on such a lot of their growing up.

    Could we see some pics of the 'bits and pieces' you've sewn and knitted please ?

    Enjoy your family day.

  9. Lemon pie is one of my favorites!

    There is a hint of spring in the air and it is motivating!

  23. Being a grandma, your going to love it! I have had my own love affair going for 6 years now, and cannot wait for more. There always seems to be extra love to give. So when more babies come (and I hope they do, but offer no pressure) there is never a shortage!

    On my mind is relaxing and looking for new growth in the berry patch.

  28. Rhonda, it's certainly an exciting time for you!
    On my mind today is a school reunion I attended today and how the occasion was a real credit to the small organising committee.

  30. Hi Rhonda!
    I love your new header banner! Looks so fresh and inviting, and the fact that you have a list warms my heart. I'm a big fan of lists!

    On my mind today is boxes. My son has a bit of a fascination with them at the moment, and it's brought to mind my own love of boxes, starting from when I was his age!

  37. It must be so exciting to have not one, but two grandbabies on the way!

    I also have to say that I love that you said you are going to make the pie and pop it in your basket. That is such a lovely image to me :D

  38. I am very surprised that you have made no comment about the earthquake in NZ that has left so many bereaved and/or homeless. They are your neighbours - I can't begin to tell you of the concern we in the UK have had.

    This isn't a criticism of you, Rhonda, just a query.

    Sally.

  39. Dear Rhonda,

    I have been reading your blog for a little while, but this is my first comment. My life is far from simple right now, but what you write is encouraging to this new homemaker.
    Simple things are on my mind.

  41. Getting back into sewing again. That's what has been on my mind. Making things to make it home here for all of us.

    Hope you had a wonderful lunch!

  42. For my second "On My Mind" post, I wrote about my first hair-style change since I was nine... :)
    And your post about nappies inspired me for a baby-shower gift! I have five or so showers within March, and have been casting around for ideas, thanks so much!

  43. Sal, I don't want to speak for Rhonda on this issue...but she was not blogging for 2 weeks to meet her publisher's deadline. It was during her time away from her blog that the NZ earthquake occurred. It goes without saying that she would be concerned. Remember back to the floods in her own country and her compassion and timely posts on being ready for a disaster, etc.

    ReplyDelete
  44. thanks you, Becca.

    Sal, I don't record everything I do on my blog. It's just a fraction of what happens. During that time I expressed my concerns on the forum, and spoke directly with a number of the ladies there who live in NZ.
