Most Saturdays my wonderful in-laws take K for the day and we get a lot of things done that are easier without a toddler tagging along. She loves her days at Granny and Poppa’s place and always comes home happy. This morning Michael dropped her off and took L so I had the house to [...]

It finally happened. We have officially joined the ranks of parents with kids who have decorated their face with textas (markers). I woke this morning to see K smiling at me like this;
Happily for us it washed off but she had alien-like eyebrows for the rest of the day.
She actually had quite the creative day, [...]
In amongst the madness of the last few months I’ve been thinking about K’s upcoming 3rd birthday. I have decided that with K joining dance classes lately, a dance theme would be a great choice. This week I posted off her invitations which I had a great time drawing and making. I’m looking forward to [...]

Look what my lovely hubby bought me after all the sickness of the last few days!
I took some photo of the felt book so far and here it is. So far I’ve cut the pages out and pinned three;
Hopefully I’ll make steady progress!

Since my last post both Michael and I have had varying versions of the virus that K had all weekend. The last few days have been hard, I’ve had to dig very deep in order to handle the situation and I really do thank the Lord that L hasn’t caught either [...]

Well, what a weekend this has been. I have had very little sleep although last night was a lot better than the previous two nights. This was related more to K than L. She has had bronchitis for the last week and then on Friday night around 1.30am she started throwing up! We think that [...]

Mum of two, wife to Michael, follower of Jesus, Australian, lover of all things creative and artistic. I try to do fun things with my girls, I often stress too much, over-react or worry but I'm very grateful for the patience, love and forgiveness of God and those around me.
This blog is just my way of connecting with other people around the world. Its not my intention to show off in any way just to share a bit about myself. Besides all of that, blogging keeps me a bit more sane than usual!
