Blessed with a meal + Dessert

Flue is yuck. But these we're yum. Thanks Kez for making life just a little simpler tonight.. [though with treats like these, I may have to whinge about being sick more often.] Also tonight, just now while writing this, another friend dropped over 4 loaves of bread and a 3ltr milk. I have the most amazingly amazing friends ever. I am blessed and exactly where God intends me to be....

Time..

Oh my goodness. I am loving Jiedyn at this age. That's not to say I didn't love him during previous ages, but I love being able to connect and communicate with him now that he is older and understands more. Last night after Nevaeh left to go to her fathers house, Jie and I switched off the TV's and radio's to read scripture and journal together. Jie has his own bible study journal while mine is a blank book I like to write my own thought...

Be{four} Her Big Day..

Tomorrow Nevaeh is turning Four. Jie will be at school and before he comes home Nevaeh will be off to spend the weekend with her Daddy. I wanted him to be a part of the celebrations of her four years in our lives that I decided to bake and decorate all day to give her the birthday she so deserves.  Both the kids helped with making the mini cupcakes and soon were sticky enough to jump in the bath, leaving me able to decorate the...

When an awesome Idea doesn't come to life..

Nevaeh's birthday is tomorrow (Friday, 26th April). She will be four. Because of her love for books, I had planned a "Book Swap Birthday Party" for her and a few of her little friends. It was going to involve them all bringing a few books to swap with each other. I thought it was a great idea for my angel who absolutely loves reading to herself and having me read to her. Unfortunately, it was not to be. I couldn't afford to throw a party for her and so it was cancelled. All the thought and effort into filling library bags...

Backyard Home Videos..

We don't do this quite often enough.  Just the three of us in the backyard together.  Amusing ourselves with just whatever is laying around.  Last week we had a few days of nice weather.  I got all my washing done in two days.  Whenever I go to hang out our washing the kids plead me to push them on the swing.  Please, please, please Mum? And eventually I give in! Here we are, having fun in the backyard together..  My kids are crazy but kind.  Nevaeh is such a dare...

A time for change..

School holidays are over and now it's a time for change. The kids each sleeping in their own beds again. Routines are back in full swing and those fresh cold early mornings none of us missed are back too. Change is good for us. I like to embrace change. But one thing remains.. My husband and the children's father is still not home. There is still an emptiness within the three of us longing for him to come home. It's been 7...

A surprise for Jie

Jie is back at school today after his school holidays. I thought I would surprise him with a brand new bedroom..  Jie's magnet memo board is back up and what is a boys room without a shrine of his favorite team?  But I know this will be his favorite change of all.  A brand new frame for his favorite photo. I can't wait to show hi...

A new do..

Who doesn't love a new do?  Today while sitting on the couch watching Jie play the Wii I asked Nevaeh if I could play with her hair. She has always been funny about her hair, never wanting it touched or brushed and most who know me know I hardly even put it up. Her curls are beautiful as they are and I like to show them off. But today Nevaeh let me play with her hair. I brushed it, made it fluffy, squirted it, made...

Weet-Bix give you wings..

I want Weet-Bix. She said. I want more. She said. Nevaeh and Jiedyn both love Weet-Bix. If the they could, they would eat them for every meal. This morning while eating breakfast in her PJ's, Nevaeh left the table with milk and soggy Weet-Bix all over the front of her. I took her top of her before she rushed to get another top. At the bottom of her drawer she spotted a forgotten about t-shirt with wings on the back she had...

Easter 2013

Hi guys! Just a quick message of Easter wishes from our family to yours. We truly hope that you all enjoy your gifts and know that Jesus loves each of you. Much love from us Bakers!   Yesterday was Easter here in Australia. Nevaeh went to her father's the day before to spend her very first Easter away from home. I was both sad and happy for her. Sad because she wouldn't be hearing much about Jesus' love for her but happy that...
