There is a green hill far away, Without a city wall, Where the dear Lord was crucified, Who died to save us all. Oh, dearly, dearly has He loved, And died our sins to bear; We trust in His redeeming blood, And life eternal share. We may not know, we cannot tell, What pains He… Continue reading There is a green hill far away

Before – {Lent}
I don't know if you've noticed, but shops have exploded with all things Easter and Chocolate in the last week. Easter Eggs abound, as do Happy Easter banners and decorations. All celebrating Easter. Resurrection Sunday is coming. But so is Good Friday. Before there could be an Easter Sunday, there had to be a Good… Continue reading Before – {Lent}
See the teacher
My 5 year old son told me the other day that his teacher wanted to see me. Funny how that statement can invoke negative thoughts. Not sure why, as I was a very good kid at school so I have no bad memories, but I guess "see the teacher" means that somethings up! Anyway with… Continue reading See the teacher

Open Home
I have a confession to make...My neighbours' house is for sale, and curious me, decided to pop over during the open home for a peek. I was spared the embarrassment of telling the real estate agent that I was just a nosy neighbour, by the fact he had spied me exit my front door. Busted… Continue reading Open Home
St Patrick’s Day
Today we celebrated St Patrick's Day at work. Somewhat early. Not sure why we couldn't celebrate it on the actual day. Nonetheless, I dutifully donned my green fascinator and wrote my limerick and enjoyed the festivities of the day. In the midst of the pre St Patrick day celebrations though, I was reminded that the origin… Continue reading St Patrick’s Day
Pilgrim’s Progress – {Lent}
I have fond memories of my Dad reading Pilgrims Progress to me as a kid. Today, it is still one of my favourite reads. An allegory of Christian life, the main antagonist journeys to the Celestial city (heaven). As he travels, Christian carries a heavy burden - the knowledge of His sin. It is not… Continue reading Pilgrim’s Progress – {Lent}
The Messiness of Motherhood
Motherhood is messy. It is filled with spills and stains and grubby marks. All precious, but still messy. I can't count the number of times I've gone to go out (or gone out) and discovered the milk marks, snot marks even on my shoulder. I have repeatedly wiped the fingermarks and the occasional crayon mark… Continue reading The Messiness of Motherhood
The Equilibrium of Cuddles
My 2 year old has a morning ritual. When he wakes up in the morning he comes and finds me for a morning cuddle. Whether I’m in the kitchen making school lunches, putting on a load of washing or blissfully still in bed myself, I stop what I am doing, gather him in my arms… Continue reading The Equilibrium of Cuddles
The Journey – {Lent}
I love road trips with my husband. A chance to get away from Town and its busyness. A chance to, with no other interruptions, talk, laugh, remember and dream together. It's always a great time of connection for us. No distractions of work or chores, or phones or social engagements. Just the two of us.… Continue reading The Journey – {Lent}
