This Christmas was by far my favourite Christmas ever. Having a small Christmas morning was a beautiful change for the better. Having my man by my side while the kids unwrapped the little I could afford to give them and appreciate the effort I did go to for them just to receive what they did proved that I’m raising some pretty wonderful kids!David went to see his daughter Bridgette Christmas morning before we both made the drive to...

I asked for one and this was the result..In the second part of the reading this was the card I got..As a Christian we tend not to believe in tarot cards,...

Jiedyn’s 15th Birthday
Jiedyn’s birthday was such an amazing blessing! I myself couldn’t have given what those around us gave. On Jie’s actual birthday I had $10 to my name and after his birthday, I still had the $10. Our beautiful friends around us came through with the goods on what would have been a pretty lousy birthday for Jie this year. Dannielle put on an amazing picnic for us down at the Baptist Church Community Garden and the day was spent meeting...

Year 12 Complete
Honestly, to say I'm proud of this girl would be an absolute understatement! The things my niece Jeanette has been through and overcome in her 18 years on this earth are things no baby, child or young teenage girl should ever have had to endure and with the love, support, guidance and stability in her life for the last 6 years it has given her opportunity to do something she never ever thought was possible for someone like her. Her final...
Our Covid19 Experience
When Nevaeh woke up with a fever on Saturday morning it did cross my mind that it could have been Covid19. The weekend before Nevaeh, Jie and I went to a Japanese restaurant, and knowing that it takes a week for covid symptoms to appear it was sorta scary. Monitoring her throughout Saturday and Saturday night; her temp didn’t drop below 38.9 in 24 hours. I decided to call Nurse on Call. They recommended she see a doctor within...
