Photo of the day {Thursday}

I am astounded at the amount of support I am receiving from my family and friends as the kids and I are doing it tough. This afternoon Jie got off the bus from school and was so wanting to go to the school carnival. Me still being sick explained that it most likely wouldn't happen. I didn't know any parents of his friends and Jie had been looking forward to the event all week. He asked me to ask his Dad or Uncle Al to take him. His...

Learning to use a knife

Tonight Nevaeh was given her very own knife to use. She learned how to hold it, and watched her mum and her big brother before slicing her chicken parma to perfection! Jiedyn and I watched as she got better and better. I noticed too that she is a fast learner, she is eagar and willing to give anything a try. As long as 'anything' doesn't consist of aeroplanes or tattoos I'm excited about her milestones to com...

Photo of the day {Tuesday}

When your as sick as I have been yesterday and today, it's so easy to drift through the day without any real appreciation of the little things going on in your home. Most of the day I spent beside my miss resting as she watched her favorite disney movies. After school Jiedyn came home and after getting into trouble for being disobedient he grabbed his little sister's hand and said. "Mums sick and grumpy, let's go play!" I didn't argue,...

Home Made Paint

This morning while taking my son to the school bus stop a beautiful neighbor came out of her home and greeted us at her fence with a big plastic bag full of plain white paper. Nevaeh immediately said "I want to do some painting". I can't recall the last time we did some painting, maybe over the Christmas holiday period, but one thing was sure.. It's been too long for this three and thriving angel. When I got home, I got to work.  Flour...

Photo of my life:

Not knowing which direction to take right now. But loving the journey. I guess we all get this way sometimes. I have been on centrelink for the past seven years raising and enjoying my children. I haven't missed a "first" yet and am both thankful and grateful for it!! I'm not rich, I barely scrape through but one day, not too far away, I too will join the workforce so that other mothers will also get the same opportunity or should...

In the present..

Yes, here I am, here and now, on planet earth. Some things are just so hard to comprehend.. Do you ever sit back and look at the big picture? I do and I think I am so blessed to be alive - living!

A peaceful afternoon..

Today , after school, the kids and I went with my brother for a swim. A few days before he came across a beautiful goose and took photos to show me. Today we got to see this marvelous creature as well as swim only meters away from it.. At the end of our swim, the kids and I went to pose for a few photos before we were interrupted by a whirring dragonfly which, by the photo below, must have caught...
