To catch the fly? That wiggled and jiggled... My 7 year old does not like spiders and so with all seriousness he asked me why would God have made them. Surely it must be some mistake? I think my reply might have been along the lines of its purpose perhaps in dealing with the other creepy… Continue reading Why did God create the spider?

Interruptions and the Lunchbox
Life taught me a lesson this week! Well I hope I have learnt from it. My normal morning routine had a planned for change. Instead of the normal school run, I was taking my oldest to the Hospital for an appointment, an early one at that. It meant organising the other children to go to Grandparents… Continue reading Interruptions and the Lunchbox

Not matter, the car heater kicked in, the hot coffee was bought and I was headed to a nicely heated office.… Continue reading A Chilly Morning

Ignition
I love the colour of the key to my car. It's a gorgeous pop of blue, vibrant and bold. And it goes beautifully with my favourite mustard coloured handbag.
