Greetings all,
Welcome to the first/ maiden/ inaugural AEIOU: a mid-month-list-link-party of self-belief, improvement, acceptance, love & learning!! It's a middle-of-the-month get together of life’s highlights. Your AEIOU might go a little something like this . . .
Awesome – something you baked/ created/ photographed/ a bargain you found
Exciting – share your news/ event/ holiday/ a gorgeous butterflies-in-tummy moment
Interesting – teach us information/ discovery/ facts/ a chance to show off your quirky side
Opportunity – embrace the unknown/ put yourself out there/ show off a new experience
Understanding – learning to appreciate/ forgive/ love/ unleash what helps you grow
. . . you might like to do a full AEIOU or just one or two particular themes . . .
To kick things off, here is my AEIOU list. It's been a busy month here with Easter, school camps, sports clinics & finally school holidays. My AEIOU is a light & breezey one. Next month will be heavy as we're in the final countdown to handsome soldier coming home!!
Awesome - as our children grow, so do their needs, like a communal computer area. I played swapsies this week: pinched this desk from a bedroom, swapped for an armchair, et voila, a whole new space has opened up our lounge - for the price of 3 tractor stools - not to mention awesome cook book storage.
Exciting - my 3 youngest had their school camps, it was my son's first & the independence he showed getting organised, leaving & since he's come home, has been amazing. Camps overlapped, leaving my eldest an only child = Japanese dinner & the Mirror Mirror movie (fabulous). I was giddy just making ONE lunch each morning, glee!!
Interesting - enjoying FatMumSlim's photo-a-day challenge this April. Wait until you read about what this bracelet means to me. Millions of images are involved, now that is some following Mrs Slim.
Opportunity - i did over the high schooler's bedroom today (she shares the front of the house with my studio.) New desk (seeing hers went missing??) & arm chair + new size (i pushed my fabric racks deeper into my studio. The middle girl is having a sleepover in the huge new space - look at them, sisters, makes me heart sing!! Please ignore the outdoor German Shepherd, opportunist!!
Understanding - even though we're not religious, we appreciate what religious festivals are all about. My high schooler has Religious Education classes & is teaching us, while we munch on Lindt Bunnies who were hiding in toadstools.

the photo of your son waiting to depart for camp is precious. :)
Jennie this is GENIUS!
You will see in my linky that I was so inspired that I created a poster to remind me to keep my eyes, heart and imagination open to be able to play along each month.
Happy day Lovely & thank you!
xx
Ooopppsss, icons not as large as i 'ordered' will work on that next week.
Felicity Serendipity, your poster is inspirational, thank you, so honoured.
Love Posie
cool idea! we had the same felt toadstools :)
I love those toadstools! And how awesome to be able to get into a teenagers bedroom and give it a good sorting - exactly what I need to do around here! xx
This sounds like fun...your son is so sweet!
Thanks for taking this opportunity to mention this, I'm strongly about it and I benefit from garden greenhouse structures this subject. When possible, when you gain data, please update this website with new information. I have found it extremely useful.
I so want that desk/tractor stool/cookbook setup!!!
