From my Journal, October 5th, 2013. "This morning I woke up, with the knowledge that within a few hours I will be someone's wife. This is a morning I thought may not come. But we often think morning is distant, when we are anticipating something, or going through a trial. There is a smile on … Continue reading Today I marry my beloved.

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
Flawless
There were 3 bridesmaids, gowns of soft pink, with perfect bouquets, matching shoes and flawless makeup. The bride's diamond-encrusted headpiece glittered in the chandeliers, and her dress of tulle, and silk, layer after layer, moved with her as she made her way around the circle- a captivating spectacle. The Groomsmen remained gentlemanly, the expensive suits, … Continue reading Flawless
Winter is upon us.
I adore winter. I love the frosty mornings, rain showers and puffs of white when you talk and your breath becomes frosty. I love making snugly things like crocheted beanies and cute flowers. And have been enjoying having an excuse to sit and crochet in the evenings. This year I have been spending some time … Continue reading Winter is upon us.
And we are in July.
The glorious sunny weather we have been having lately, broke last night when the rain rolled in. I have to admit that I do love these chilly winter mornings, with sunshine during the day. Though there is also something about rain at night that creates calm, and peace. Maybe it's just me. Our winter has … Continue reading And we are in July.
Bold and traditional
Been a while since I did a tea post. Recently, I've been enjoying Traditional Afternoon Tea. Great fresh, bold taste, with a deep brown colour and goes well with a sweet pastry. Rating 4 out of 5.
I was taught to think and I do not apologize.
I was taught to think. To question. To not be satisfied with an answer until I have seen all sides and made a decision based on sound research.

Granted sometimes I'm not thinking straight or my short attention … Continue reading I was taught to think and I do not apologize.
“To me, a lady …
"To me, a lady is not frilly, flouncy, flippant, frivolous and fluff-brained, but she is gentle. She is gracious. She is godly and she is giving... You and I, if we are women, have the gift of femininity. Very often it is obscured, just as the image of God is obscured in all of us... … Continue reading “To me, a lady …
The other side of the storm.
Someone requested recently that I write a post about what happens after a shipwreck, they were encouraged by my 'In the midst of Shipwrecks' post. What do you do when your world has fallen apart, you have weathered the rising tides and woken dazed and confused on the shore? So here it is. I don't … Continue reading The other side of the storm.
Because we are fun like that
That will be our excuse when our kids see these. hehe
Gentleness is powerful too: An Easter reflection.
Sometimes we associate power with aggression, flashing lights, loud voices, steely gazes. Powerful people seem to have persuasion, charisma, confidence. I don't have any of those things. Frankly some days I don't feel like I have much of anything in comparison. Not a lot is made of Gentleness. In fact sometimes it's seen as a … Continue reading Gentleness is powerful too: An Easter reflection.
