Peanut Butter Corn Flake Treats

Jane’s Balls are a top secret recipe. I had to make something I could share with you… This is my selection.

With These Hands

It’s a special day; with my own hands I have made something for our baby that passes down a tradition from both sides of our families.

Love On Loan

I think it is raining kindness.

Pre-Push Pampering

Some sweet ladies at work got together and decided I might spontaneously go into labor if they didn’t intervene.

Mama’s Hungry

I’ve been cooking large quantities and freezing meals for the babymoon because I am told that I won’t have time to eat if I have to cook it first…

Look!

We can’t say thanks enough for the help. It’s lovely to know lovely people.

Happy 35 Weeks!

Trust me, I am more in shock than you.

October 17, 2011

Blessed

Sometimes it gets hard to say ‘thank you’; sometimes it doesn’t feel like enough.

Paula Please!

I cannot account for the sweet people who have come into our lives; we are continually surprised by the kindness of new friends.

Happy 33 Weeks!

Have mercy on my heart and my tear ducts…

My Auntie Jean

My Auntie Jean taught me to stick out my tongue. She is saucy like that.

Happy 32 Weeks!

I know I will only get bigger, but I can’t see how this will work.

All the Women in His Life

I am blinded by the light.

Reveling

Friends and relative strangers keep reminding me lately how incredible my life is. I have more than I need, more than I deserve, more than I can find words to describe.

September 18, 2011

We Will Keep Them

I hope I always carry light and pass on what has been graciously given to me.

We Are Geeks

I don’t know what has gotten into me; for some reason procuring gifts for the new dad has become a high priority for me lately…

Weekend Away

It wasn’t for the baths, for the cathedral, or any other historical sites really… We went to Bath for time with three gorgeous people. This is Rufus and his dad Adam. I don’t know why I don’t have a photo of Ru’s mum Milly. I’m a bad friend. Or a forgetful person. Or I was…

Ladies Laughing

Lucky for me, my friend Mel organised a Ladies’ Night outâ€“and I was invited! She’s sharing her lovely friends with me for some reason; it has come at a really great time. Every lady in this group is a strong, intelligent woman, all of whom (I think) are mums too. It’s encouraging to have meaningful…
