Always Josefa

This week I would like to introduce you to Josefa who blogs over at always Josefa sharing her stories about battling motherhood and life. She has been published all over the place and is one of Australia’s top bloggers. If you haven’t heard of Josefa then really, you are living under a rock and need to go introduce yourself pronto. Want to know who you are meeting, here are Josefa’s top five favourite things.

Coffee

Funnily enough, I did not start drinking coffee till I was eighteen. But it was a love affair from the first sip. I always wake up to a freshly made latte from hubby and sip on espressos for most of the day. It is not just the pick-me-up that coffee offers that makes it one of my favourite things, but the solace it offers in its warmth and the connection we can have with others simply by sharing a coffee.

My boys

All three of them: hubby, AJ and PJ. These three people make my world go round. We are not only a little family, but four people who share each other’s hopes and dreams, and are always there for each other when times are tough and when times are awesome. These three people tug at my heart strings in a way that no one else can and to say they are my favourite thing is an understatement – they are my everything.

Writing

Oh where would I be without my words? I remember a time when writing was not a part of my life and instead there was this empty sinking feeling that I had no idea how to fill. So much has changed since I took that first step to write. Even when I am working late into the night to meet deadlines writing will always be one of my favourite things for it is like a window into my soul.

Food

I hardly cook, but I do love to eat. I always feel grateful to sit down to a meal and feel that connection we can only gain through food. At mum’s for dinner with the whole family, out to a fancy place with hubby for date night or just kicking back on a Sunday night with take out at home. Food connects us in a way that nothing else can. Without a doubt anything Italian is my favourite and I have a thing for hazelnut gelato.

Travel

Who doesn’t like to travel? It is by far one of my most favourite things to do. We try and travel together as a family at least one a year. I just love idling away time by the beach or cosy and snug in front of a fire in the mountains somewhere. My most favourite cities so far have to be New York, Tokyo, Barcelona and Florence. But my favourite place to travel as a family – the Gold Coast – we go time and time again. If I won tattslotto, I think I’d buy a place there.

 

Thank you for sharing Josefa, really, I think this could have been my list. Except I have 2 girls and I actually live on the Gold Coast. And now I am craving an affogatto with Hazelnut gelato! And maybe a little biscotti on the side. So, if you haven’t met Josefa yet please check out her blog and say hello.
