So we sold our house and are now busy looking to find a house to move to, and it’s all very exciting, but Pinterest is seriously taking over my life right now. I want to see every living room layout imaginable, preferably in colours I like, with a crawling child included for ease-of-manoeuvring reference. I want […]

Monday Moments: Whirlwind
Well, last week slipped through my fingers at breakneck speed. If things keep up like this, it’ll be 2016 before I can catch my breath enough to tell you about the amazing crispy baked buttermilk chicken or the wedding cupcakes I was meaning to tell you about this week. We had special visitors (one furry […]
Monday Moments: Boys
When Gemma leaves for school, I feel a little outnumbered at times.But while they may be noisy and demanding and not always the best at remembering what sleep is, they sure are a sweet bunch.

Peanut Butter & Jam Oat Breakfast Bars
It is truly astounding how much I hate babysitting. I love my own children with an intense, unending, smothering love and literally never get tired of the blessing of getting to stay home with them. But, schedule me to be in a room with 10+ children, such as in our church nursery, and I literally […]
New Year, So Some Goals
There’s nothing more fun than a good bunch of goals, is there? DREAMS! PLANS! LISTS! I know I’ll never do everything I write on my lists or even half the things I think in my head, but that sure doesn’t dim my enjoyment of the process, or the trying. I’d been meaning to sit down […]
