Who would have thought a simple e-mail would have sparked such an exciting connection..
Emailing him was new to me and was new to him too.. What started as just a bit of fun on the weekends soon developed into a daily thing. A new found relationship started to form and I began hearing his heart which made us become closer.
It all began just after his birthday last year.. He being my 9 year old son of course. I opened and email account...

My Kind of Day - Motherhood

Sunday's have turned into my favorite days of the week..
No early morning alarms..
No rush to be anywhere..
No unexpected bills or appointments..
Just time spent with my sweet babes at home..
Don't get me wrong, our life in general is no hustle or bustle..
But Sundays have a certain chilled vibe to them..
Today, although it was hot here, we enjoyed each others company..
Sitting, chatting, playing connect 4..
It was...

As life is..
S - Today was a beautiful sunny summers day here in Bacchus Marsh. After getting all of my study out the way this week and an assignment submitted late last night, I looked forward to enjoying this summery Saturday with the ones who love me most down at the local pool. We swam and we swam and we swam for over four hours and both of the kids enjoyed hanging out with friends they knew from school.
A - Lately life has been awesome! Since school has started back (we are 3 weeks into the school year here in Australia) we have...

Dedication & Determination..

At the end of last year I had an idea of what I wanted to achieve this year while Nevaeh (my youngest) started school. It's all there in my bucket list above this post! I am well on my way to achieving most of my goals and today I can proudly cross of getting my Learners.
It's been a long wait but today, with a lot of help from the amazing man upstairs I passed the Learners Parmit Test at VicRoads in Sunshine, Victoria.
As I walked...

Valentines Day 2015

While the world celebrated Valentines day I lay in bed flicking through loving messages, dedications and photos on my phone, and although I don't have someone special in my life right now I am in no hurry.. I trust that God has bigger plans for mine and my childrens lives than I do for us. Yesterday was a day to celebrate love and that is something I am not short of. I have amazing friends and very affectionate children. I have a father...

Song Requests!
When was the last time you rang your local or state radio station to request a song? 89.9 Light FM is our families favorite radio station and we tune in daily. Because we don't have TV we rely on Light FM for news and entertainment. We love listening to Cam & Ruthie and loved Goshia and Kel in the mornings with Lucy being our least favorite and definitely the most irritating host. But Jimi Love is our favorite hands down! Jimi does song requests most weekdays after 7pm and quite often I allow the kids the opportunity to...

A Very Emotional Week

Inhale..
Exhale..
That was the note-to-self I gave myself at the beginning of this new school year.
On Monday my son Jiedyn started his first day of Grade 3. He was so excited and happy to see all of his friends and that soon his sister would be starting too. He settled in well and before I knew it he was pushing me out the door. His transition between grades 2 and 3 has been amazing and so simple. Nevaeh burst into tears as we...

Whoa! What an amazing month! and thanks to a little insta-app on my phone (which crashed several times this month) I got to share with you all my favorite bits right as they were happening!
