Cactus in a pot

During our visit to Phuket Botanic Garden there was part of the garden which was filled with various cactuses. The kids were fascinated to see these prickly plants and wanted to know more about them. They were fascinated to learn that there is water stored in the stems of the cactus and many people rely on the cactus as a source of nutrition while in the dessert.

I loved how rustic the enclosure looked with the rocks , status and cactus in place.

” If it ain’t broken or can’t be improved upon it should be kept as status quo”-Dominique Goh

There are many things which I would want to change or improve on in 2013. However here is a list of 10 things which I wouldn’t change.

Our car. It is still functioning well and fits our needs. There is no need to upgrade or get a more fancy set of wheels and take on a bigger car loan.
Spending time with the family and doing activities together.
Spending time with R alone and working on our marriage.
Working on my improving my photography skills
Spending time on myself and pampering myself now and then.
Indulging in the kids and giving them the best childhood experience which they can have.
Focusing on the family and having time to watch them grow.
Chocolate and other tasty treats which will be taken in moderation.
Following my goals and carrying out the resolutions set for 2013.
Cooking and baking more for the kids.
