The following has brought joy to my life this week:
 
My husband's thoughtsfulness  - Thanks to him, we always have garlic, ginger and chili at home.

Frugal Still Life Photography Course brings new inspiration to see the old things at home in a new light - it is inspiring to photograph them in different settings. (Did you notice that I removed the garlics and filled this basket with embroidery thread).

Small walks outside - I did walk twice during my luch break this week ...
Just ten minutes, breathing the fresh air, walking about.

Moments with tea - Our older son drinks also tea, so now we made a big pot tea in the evenings. It has been nice to find new flavours, the men in the house ordered lately some green tea, that has a sweet, delicate taste.

Family - Our younger son turned 13 yesterday! We celebrated his birthday by eating out in his favourite place (Wagamama, tasty Japanese dishes, nudles in ramah and tapah and much more ... ).

 
I have taken hold of my word for 2014 - unhurried - Its' been a good week!

  5. Great images....ALL of them. Love your little basket. And your iphone photos are wonderful! Mine doesn't take very good pics. I think that's why I don't often use it nor post to instagram.
    Great share!
