Summer in Perth. Not always a month we look forward to. Heat. Dryness. Just generally heat. All. the. time. We are thankful that this year we have been blessed with a mild Summer so far. And that we can be productive in our garden during the Christmas and new year holidays. One of things we … Continue reading January, January

I'm an ordinary wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, Working Mum and Homeschooling mum, attempting to live life with integrity and faith. In my free time, I sip tea, craft with yarn and wire, read, fantasise about Gardens, imagine what a steampunk world would look like and take long baths...Oh, who am I kidding...I don't have free time! haha
Lazy Summer Saturdays
Don't you love these lazy summer Saturdays?! I'm still in my Pyjamas. Maybe I shouldn't confess that. I have, however, been quite productive- Making Gluten free banana bread (it was delicious smothered with some organic butter), cleaning out drawers and culling clutter, and put on a load of laundry. It's a hot one today, so … Continue reading Lazy Summer Saturdays
Finally, an update.
Amongst marriage, working, looking after a baby and trying to keep up a home I have finally gotten a spare moment to update. I can't believe it has been almost 18months since our lives changed. Our Precious girl is walking, chattering, and discovering. I love to watch her watching the world and trying to figure … Continue reading Finally, an update.
5 months already
Our sweet girl is 5 months today. Already. It has been a challenging, beautiful, extremely high, extremely low, tiring, and growing 5 months. We haven't always had the answers. We haven't always done things perfectly. We haven't always done things the same way as our parents. but we have been broken, flawed, growing, crazy parents and … Continue reading 5 months already
our twig
It has been a while. I needed a break away from blogging to just enjoy the final months of pregnancy and preparations. In October my husband and I were blessed with a beautiful baby girl, Aubriana Skye. She has changed our world. We no longer have leisurely meal times, showers or long sleep ins. We can't … Continue reading our twig
Timey Wimey
Time moves on. We found out in January that we are expecting a baby. Now we have reached the final trimester, with about 3 months to go. We are excited, nervous, and a little overwhelmed, like most first time parents. Initially, It was a shock. Then came the morning sickness, and it felt like an … Continue reading Timey Wimey
Our funny Valentine
Valentine's Day is actually quite a significant day when you look at the origins of Valentine's day. While it is unclear exactly who St Valentine was- some say he was a priest, others say he was martyred for his Christian faith, whoever he was, St Valentine was obviously devoted to his faith and his church. … Continue reading Our funny Valentine
A new horizon dawns…
At the dawn of a new year, I find myself getting reflective. For good reason, I suppose. A new year gives new opportunities, new challenges, new lessons to be learned. This new year was particularly poignant. My first one as a wife, our first Christmas and holiday season as a wedded couple. I was greatly … Continue reading A new horizon dawns…
Hinge
This was a post I started a little while ago, but didn't get to finish. Thought I'd get it done, and share it with you now. -------------- ...I discovered that it is not on our forgiveness any more than on our goodness that the world’s healing hinges, but on His. When He tells us to … Continue reading Hinge
Thoughts and pictures
The wedding is over- lots of happy memories of a fun day. The honeymoon is finished- it was short, but a special time together sharing dreams and plans and laughs. I've been back at work a week now, and it's kind of surreal that it was only a few weeks ago that my Andy and … Continue reading Thoughts and pictures
