Watching super nanny type show tonight ‘3day nanny’ and enjoyed seeing a lady help a family who were struggling. Obviously also trying to gleam some tips for my Lion who will be two in two weeks (whaaat!?) and I, like most honest parents, am guessing my way through! Something she said in the show hit […]
I have just written a letter to my baby. Of course he can’t read it today but it is for when he is older. I wrote one last year & will write one each year for him. Inside is full and personal, my hopes for him & mainly just my unconditional love of him. How […]
Last Sunday I had the privilege of speaking at our church. It has been a long time since I have spoken, so it was both scary & exciting! I feel like the lessons God taught me through Phillipians & as we enter this season of joy as a church is very timely. I am praying […]
Today I sorted out my Lions wardrobe. My sister has given me the next stage up, clothes 2-3yrs 😩 He isn’t two till September but is in these clothes now. So I’ve packed up his 12-24 month clothes for her to have for my nephew Leo. (As an aside, please know that the hope my […]
I have just got back from a wonderful week in Poland. Holidays are good for me! I know everyone would probably say that but honestly, on holiday, with the freedom to just relax and no pressure to do or be anywhere, I am truly me again. Plus I get to have my man with me […]

I have seen a lovely friend write to please not be wished Happy Easter as 9months ago she lost her precious baby, he so sadly died after bravely battling cancer. He is now […]
I cannot imagine the emotions that went on that day. When people who had loved him now turned and hated him, to the point of death. Where people who had sung his praises now shouted abuse and all kinds of lies spilled out. Where the ones he had loved,healed, walked with, befriended were nowhere to […]
So encouraged to remember this from 2yrs ago. I thought there was nothing in this pot as it had been kicked,messed with, even used to send the fireworks out of and left alone..then one morning I noticed life! Beautiful things growing out of what looked to be nothing. Reminds me of my God of Grace […]
I said in a previous blogpost that as I slowly read through the Easter story (Matt26) and have days of waiting to carry on reading it awakens me to the wait Jesus endured. He knew what was coming, had to wait, feeling sick for it. Trying to tell His friends who just didn’t understand at all! […]
