It is probably no surprise that the inspiration for this blog entry comes from a Wiggles song. With a 2 year old who is absolutely devoted to all things Wiggles my days always include Wiggles music. Not surprisingly the tunes and the lyrics then tend to get stuck in my head. Yesterday it was the Propeller, today though it was "I've got my… Continue reading I’ve got my glasses on!

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
The Best of Times
They say that Mothers of little boys are busy from son up to son down. As a mum to 3 boys, I'd have to say that rings true! One of the mottos that I live by is Keep Calm and Carry on. Meant for British citizens as a strategy in world war II, it has meaning… Continue reading The Best of Times
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

Nothing like a whiff of a good espresso to make me want to indulge. Flat whites are my coffee of choice at the moment but I am partial… Continue reading The Aroma of Coffee
The Rhythm of Life
"For the rhythm of life is a powerful beat. Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet." These are the words to a song that I've found myself singing - a homage to my school choir days. And as I have sung them, I have thought about the rhythm of life.… Continue reading The Rhythm of Life
Snakes and Ladders – A lesson for Life
Progress in life is not just straight up or straight forward for that matter! Sometimes I think life is like a game of Snakes and Ladders. One day you are plodding along and whoosh you’ve shot ahead. Then just as easily you land on a snake and can be back where you started. But… Continue reading Snakes and Ladders – A lesson for Life
