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}

Happy Birthday to Me!
Yip, yesterday was my birthday! I had a great day, and while I didn't succeed in making it a holiday for everyone at work (I did try!), I did have a fun day! Amongst the lovely birthday cards was one with the word "May you live life fully, find happiness in little things, follow all your dreams, always realise how… Continue reading Happy Birthday to Me!
The soundtrack to your day
Sometimes when I enter a shop I am aware of the soundtrack being played. Sometimes it makes me head right out the door again as it interferes with the enjoyment of the shop or just generally grates on me. Other times the music seems to lull me into lingering in the shop and consequently spend… Continue reading The soundtrack to your day
When God interrupts
I think a mother's life, certainly in the early years, would always include "interruptions" as part of a description of life. Conversations, reading a book, sitting down inevitably get interrupted by the baby waking, the child needing help, the child out of bed. Ironically as I sit to type this I've been interrupted - by children and text messages! Don't… Continue reading When God interrupts

I've decided to be brave, honest and vulnerable on my blog with my Hustle of losing weight 🙂 Hope it encourages you as much as it commits me to my goal! Excuses are like onions, I've decided. Why? They both have layers and layers. You peel off… Continue reading The Excuse Onion

A Worthy Walk, A Worthy Life
"I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received." —Ephesians 4:1 We are called to live a worthy life. A life that is worthy of the Lord, worthy of the call and worthy of the Gospel. But what exactly does that entail? And is it achievable? Living the worthy life… Continue reading A Worthy Walk, A Worthy Life
Times & Seasons
If I want to know what season it is, I just have to look out my window at the Oak tree in my front garden. This Oak tree embraces the seasons with unashamed boldness. In Autumn it sheds leaves with such ferocity that neighbours down the street are also sweeping up the leaves that have… Continue reading Times & Seasons
Lost & Found
Yesterday just as we were due to depart for school, my 6 year old alerted me to the fact that he couldn’t find his prescription glasses. His brand new, expensive glasses. My mind raced to when I last saw them – panic – when we were at soccer training. Suddenly my day changed. I switched… Continue reading Lost & Found
The Hiding Place
The other day my 2 year old and I made a hut out of sheets and blankets. We crawled into the snug place with cushions and had a delightful time. Whispering to each other, singing, cuddles. The sounds of the household - brothers playing downstairs, dad working in the garage, the washing machine going, seemed… Continue reading The Hiding Place
