I’ve been drawing on napkins daily for my two sons’ lunch boxes since 2006. The napkins are drawn mostly with “art markers” and a few paint markers. Over nine hundred of the school lunchbox napkins are posted on my blog “Daily Napkins”.
I haven’t missed a school or summer camp day yet, so I have had plenty of opportunity for practice to participate in the TUACA napkin art competition. My fixation with lions (the TUACA bottle features two lions) was fortunate to win the grand prize.

Here is a lovely post from Heather of It’s a lovely life. Make sure you click on the link to go through to the post on her site to read the rest…..
When my first daughter was born I remember the long, sleepless nights and practically everyone telling me to enjoy it because she will be grown before I know it. Now that she is 14, I totally get it. It really does go by way too quickly. Now that I have three daughters I understand how limited our time together is and before long they will be off conquering the world! Here are 10 things mothers need to teach their daughters. Although I say mothers, I really mean parents. These lessons empower our daughters to be bold, strong and the best that they can be!
1. Value yourself – you are priceless. Know that you are important. No one else can replace you. When you value yourself, you will recognize when someone does not value you or show you respect. If someone doesn’t know your value, don’t give them your time.

Work on and work out the best way of doing something; the best system for getting something done. Whether it be ironing his shirts (because there is no way your ironing anything else in the house!) or cleaning the bathrooms. Ask yourself – what is the easiest and most effective way of getting this done? Once you have the answer always use this system.
When the kids are finally in bed all I want to do is sit down, drink my cup of tea and catch up on Facebook and Bloglovin. However, I have learnt that if I just spend 10 minutes making the kids lunch and packing their bags for school the next day before I sit down, it makes a hell of a difference to my mornings. Try it. What things can you do the night before so that you can avoid being stressed in the mornings?
This can be as simple as knowing you have to be up at 6.05am (ouch) and out the door by 8.10am. Or as complex as scheduling each task in 10 minute slots. Whatever it is understand that you have a finite amount of time and a prescribed number of tasks that have to completed at any time. To avoid meltdown, do yourself a favour and know when and how long you should be taking for each of these tasks.
Get rid of it. My husband accuses me of being the world’s worst hoarder (i am so NOT babe!) But life with hubby and 3 kids means that we just accumulate stuff. Lots and lots of stuff. Take the time to do a regular (or even every now and then!) de-clutter. All the stuff that you don’t need, won’t use and is just taking up room and making your house look messy, throw in the bin or the recycling or sell on ebay. You will feel much better. You can breathe in your house. And have people over now.
Tell me how you are simplifying your life?

That’s how Clarins describe their new Lip Balm Crayons and I have to agree with them. I have been lucky enough to try out 3 of the colours in the Lip Balm Crayons* range and I have been very impressed with them. Creamy Pink, Sweet Cherry and Soft Coffee.
They are convenient, being in the very popular crayon form which is a big plus. They give a great amount of colour and a pretty shine but the best thing is they are very moisturising which is great for drier lips. The shine is not overpowering but enough to trick the eye into believing the lips are fuller. Great for lips that are getting thinner with age.
The lip balm crayons come in 6 wearable shades:
I think you will agree that the colours are very flattering.
They are so easy to put on; to pop in your hand bag and to top up during the day. The staying power is not too bad but you will need to reapply every couple of hours.
I’m also wearing Clarins Truly Waterproof Mascara. It’s black and creamy and is truly waterproof. I love it because it will hold your lashes in place all day after you have curled them. Awesome! It also comes in blue. Right on trend.
These are truly beautiful products that will carry you right through autumn and into winter.
Get some on your lips and lashes now!

A really lovely post from Dr Stephen Cowan at MindBodyGreenThese days we’re in such a rush to grow up. In our mechanized, post-industrialized world of speed and efficiency, we’ve forgotten that life is a process of ripening. To get good fruit, you need to nourish strong roots. Pay attention to the ground that supports your child’s life: Go for a walk with your child, eat with your child, play together, tell him a story about your experience as a child.
This takes time and practice. Personal traditions are sacred because they promote exchanges that strengthen bonds of love and intimacy and build the kind of confidence that will carry your child through this world.
There is a rhythm and pulse to each child’s life – sometimes fast and intense, sometimes slow and quiet. Just as each spring brings a renewed sense of appreciation for life, each stage of a child’s life is a time of new discovery and wonder. After all, learning is not just a process of accruing information. It’s the process of transforming our ideas, and sometimes this requires forgetting in order to see with fresh eyes. Some children will take a step backward before making a giant leap forward.
