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. She has changed our world. We no longer have leisurely meal times, showers or long sleep ins. We can't leave the … 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…

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

Today I marry my beloved.

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.
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.
