Ikea Kitchens

First of all, thank you for your support of my new blog - The Happy Little Blog. You're right, I didn't have much time for one blog, let alone two, but blogging is a fulfilling hobby and connection to a great community, so I'm making some time for it!

On another note, my neighbour is currently selling her house and the only negative feedback she's received is regarding her kitchen. The kitchen is about 14 years old and is a little outdated. If the house doesn't sell, she might be able to give it a 'facelift' - new doors, drawers, benchtops. If that won't quite work, I've suggested an Ikea kitchen. For a fraction of the price of custom made, you get an attractive, durable kitchen. Plus a 25 year guarantee. I have Ikea cabinetry in my laundry and it's fantastic. These are Ikea kitchens and I think they look great..What do you think?

On Mothers Day..

I posted this lovely piece last year and I love it so much that I've decided to post it again this year..
Mother and child silhouette

Imagine this. You are sitting on the front porch. In front of you are gardens and a leafy street - there is no sound but the singing of birds. You are old, but still tanned and fit, and wearing warm, soft clothes.
A sleek and almost silent vehicle rolls up. Its doors click open, and some young adults step out. They are your grown up children!
They give you big hugs. They are full of energy, and happy to see you. They sit down and tell you their latest adventures, new achievements, and news of their families. You bring out food and drinks, and talk over many things. Eventually, it's time for them to leave.
You go inside and put on a warm sweater.
For a long time you sit by the window, remembering back to when they were children.
You feel very proud of how they have turned out, of what you have given the world.

Happy, happy Mothers' Day to all the lovely mothers out there creating tomorrow's people xxx
