When I’m big, I want to be like my husband Now to some, that may sound really strange. But to those who know him, it will make perfect sense. I am so incredibly blessed to be married to him. He inspires me to be better and do more. He inspires me to live life bigger [...]
In a society that is so obsessed with how we look, I wonder how many stop to think of the story that their body tells. I’ve been thin, I’ve been not-so-thin. I’ve been fit, I’ve been unfit. I’ve been buff, too buff. I’ve been healthy, I’ve been not-so-healthy. I’ve been anorexic, I’ve tried to be [...]
Jack seems to be our narrow escape child… Ok, that might be a tad dramatic! But he has had a few close and interesting calls. At 18 months, he fell off a jungle gym from around 1.7m high onto the back of his head. After 2 minutes of crying, he was 100% fine and was [...]
“If I had seen further, it is only by standing on the shoulders of giants.” Sir Isaac Newton We stand on the shoulders of giants. We would not be where we are today, if it was not for the these giants. ( and even though my brothers are giants, I’m being metaphorical). :) We have [...]
I have been toying with the idea of cloth nappies for some time. My mom (hi mom) has always told that its difficult and gross. Other moms have told me that its really not that bad and is actually pretty easy once you get into it. I’ll be honest, I was/am nervous. I can be [...]
A friend on FaceBook asked, “if you could be any superhero, who would you be?” There were the usual responses of Batman, Superman, Ironman (only men responded) and it got me thinking of who would I be. It took me about 2 minutes to realise that I’d be myself . I’m a mom, I’m the [...]
I’m in love… with my laundry. I didn’t always feel this way about my laundry. For a while I begrudged it. I’d moan at it and curse it. Everytime I found that it had grown a little bigger… I’d get angry. I’d wonder who kept feeding it and why at times it seemed so out [...]
Mothers Guilt… Its a rather nasty little phrase. I don’t like it or what it represents. Personally, I’d like to see those words kicked to the curb! I don’t believe that those words should hold the power that they do. They seem to suck too many moms in and spit them out as bedraggled, confused [...]
I’m feeling so blessed! I have 4 beautiful sprogs (1 of whom is currently passed out on my chest). I have an amazing husband, who truly completes me. I want for nothing. None of these have come by my works/deeds. They are all gifts from God. I am an undeserving sinner, saved by His grace. [...]
On Friday, 27 January, we had a shocking night. I was lucky if I had 4 hours sleep. I said to B on Saturday morning, “watch, tonight’s the night I go into labour as I’m so tired!”. We had a giggled and carried on. Turns out, that little statement came true I had been saying [...]
