Deep Water

I watched this documentary last night ,its an amazing story and if you like anything to do with the sea ,sailing and just enjoy a Human story ,watch it.Its a stunning true story of the first solo nonstop round the world boat race and the effect it has on all the sailors involved mainly Donald Crowhurst.Of the 9 sailors that set out only 1 made it Robin Knox-Johnston.To say they were brave is an understatement .I really enjoyed it

I have a list of documentaries I want to see.

Mellow Yellow

I am crazy for everything yellow at the moment ,I really want to paint my living room Yellow ,it is such a happy cheerful colour .I am on the lookout for some cute yellow flats too .Bought this skirt at Anthropologie

Liking these flats too from Boden

And of course when we think of yellow we think of Sunflowers my favourites,love this cushion by Pottery barn

 I managed to grow some sunflowers in North Carolina one Summer, I am trying again at the moment, got 2 pots on my deck ,hope they turn out like the one below ,not bad considering I am the worlds worst gardener

Dancing

My friend Rosario who currently lives in North Carolina but who is coming HOME to Austin for the weekend sent me this video,I love it ,Rosario likes to send me video clips which always bring a smile to my face.How I envy this guy Wow has he traveled .I am hosting a small get together on Friday for Rosario and our friend Clara and another friend of Rosarios,they are all Mexican but they promised me they will only say nice things about me in Spanish!!! Rosario has promised she will take me to Mexico one day to visit ,cannot wait

Easter weekend

I had a good weekend with the boys.Friday we had a picnic in the park with my good friend Sherie and her son Max.Later we had a swim lesson ( someone else was filling in for our regular instructor) Luca loved the new guys style and can dive bomb quite effectively ,Noah on the other hand HATED the instructor who I swear near scared my son off swimming for life.He pushed him too hard and Noah was in tears! We watched Shrek 4 later on.

Saturday we did the local Easter egg hunt ,weather was perfect so we walked there and back.I love so much that I can walk to things here ,just like back home in Ireland.After lunch we went to see the movie Rio ,which was Ok ,Luca is starting to cringe a little at romantic themed movies !! He is a growing boy .It felt weird to eat out later with just me and the boys ( Hubby is in China) After putting the boys to bed I indulged in some good British television "North & South " set during the English Industrial revolution .I love love this kind of thing you know "Jane Eyre " like dramas I watched the whole 6 episodes ,so romantic ,how I wish the men were still like that ,mind you I cannot complain about my guy !!
Sunday we stayed in our Pjs till after lunch ,we played Ludo and dossed around the house .We were invited by my lovely Irish neighbour Marion who cooked a Sunday roast .Her family are lovely and my kids love to go to her house .So all in all a very pleasant weekend

Oh yeah best thing was, I found some Cadburys  buttons chocolate eggs at World Market ,the real deal

Girl crush no.2

So in my next life I would really like to look like Audrey  Tautou ,she is gorgeous and if you have not seen the movie Priceless you need to see it .Her dresses are amazing and the shoes to die for .I remember for months afterwards I had such a longing for silver strappy high sandals and eventually found a pair .I love all her movies and have yet to see "Coco before Chanel"

I can not think of anyone better to play the legendary Coco Chanel than Audrey.She is the perfect muse for Chanel

Adele

So I bought her 2 albums 19 & 21 and they do not disappoint ,she looks pretty hot on the cover of Rolling Stone

I agree 100% ....she recently said she makes music for ears not eyes,love her sound ,off to listen to it now

Sunday fun

My guy is 1000's of miles away in China, so I am on my lonesome with my 2 boys.We had a great day yesterday that consisted of me pottering around in the morning while the boys played with their lego, then played Xbox lego games.After lunch I took  them to the Ymca outdoor pool where they played for 3 whole hours .I got sun burned on my back Ahhhh hate that ,but they had a blast.I rolled Luca up in his towel and watched him roll down a grassy hill,such fun.For dinner I made them pancakes with nutella and let them sleep in my bed ,they were out in about 10 minutes.I slept so bad.
There was a huge wildfire in my part of Austin which was quite scary to watch ,several homes were destroyed.The conditions here are perfect for wildfires its so hot and dry and the winds are strong.I felt better with us all sleeping together.Miss my guy something terrible ,every time he goes away I fear I will not see him again ....I always imagine the worst.
Thank goodness I have my 2 munchkins to keep me busy,this is one of my favourite photos of them, it is a couple of years old but it always brings a smile to my face.
