Welcome

For a long time I have been saying that I should write a blog about our family for our friends who live far away. As more of our friends are moving away I have finally got myself organised to do one!! Who knows how this will go - bear with me as I work this out :) Let the blogging begin.....

Some outfits

I'm trying to get more adventurous and colourful in what I wear. I hate taking photos of myself but it helps me remember the good outfits.

Chicken & Leek Pie

Thank you Curtis Stone and your free Chicken & Leek Pie recipe in the Coles catalogue. It's a miracle that I cooked something like this from scratch. It's a miracle it worked. It's a miracle the boys ate it and liked it - they ate leek haha!!! I even got beans into them by putting butter on them. Haha!! It was yummy too. Time consuming but yummy - guess I'll have to do it again sometime.

Frozen Party

A six year old party - lots of crazy kids - got a photo of Xavi with Olaf soooo worth it?




Mothers' Day

I don't know how a feel about Mothers' Day really. I appreciate the fact that we stop and thank our mums and can spend time thanking God for our Mum's. Really though the advertising makes it all flowers, fluffy and pink. Don't get me wrong I love a nice bunch of flowers but.....anyway I bought my own presents (which surprisingly I really love) and all I asked was I get a chocolate croissant for breakfast (NOT in bed - ew) and that Bert do the lunch boxes.
I love my boys but more often than not I feel I don't do a great job. I am reminded of my selfishness and sinfulness as I try to raise them to make good decisions and most of all to love Jesus. I think God will use my failings in his plan. I am sure my mum felt the same at times and she is one of the very best mums that I know.
In this photo I am wearing one of the presents I bought myself and I am hugging two of God's greatest blessings to me.
I am also grateful for the two Godmothers that we chose for our boys. Wise, godly, loving beautiful women & mums both inside and out. Every Mother's Day I mean to thank them for praying for and loving our boys. Seth & Xavi are so blessed to have such fabulous Godmothers - thank you Jac & Jen xxx
