2 Today November 20, 2008

Well I had gone to bed at 7pm as I was exhausted after a busy day of birthday celebrations. Typically it all was a bit too much for Ollie and the terrible twos looked like they were emerging from dawn – not a pretty sight! Between Ollie giving off the whole way round M&S and screaming [...]

Back home July 30, 2008

Well I’m sitting at midday with the kids still in their pjs, the house a mess and all my washing on the line soaking! I’m on the verge of either giving up and chilling for the day or doing a massive summer clean up – not sure which way I will sway but hey as long [...]

Morning post June 27, 2008

As I sit here Cal is flicking through the Christian aid news magazine that has just come through the door. I can’t help but smile as he sings his own made-up song thanking God for the fact we live in Northern Ireland. He’s looking at the photographs devastated at the thought of not having lots [...]

Another chapter over June 26, 2008

An end of a major chapter in Cal’s life today and mine as it was his last day at nursery. I was quite emotional for many reasons, but as I reflected on the last year I realised I am so thankful for many things. A few prominent ones would be that Callum had a very enjoyable year at nursery and that [...]

22nd June June 22, 2008

A typical Sunday, church then the in-laws for lunch. A relaxing day but I’m dreading the next 3 days, really trying not to think of it. It really doesn’t seem possible I’ll get everything done that I need to in such a tight time frame. Roll on holidays:-)

mums and daughters June 21, 2008

Today I spent a wonderful day with my mum for her 50th birthday. As we had lunch together and searched the exquisite shops on the Lisburn Road for a mother of the groom outfit, we reminisced over the last 28 years. As we chatted, mum talked of living in Belfast in her student days as a nurse and living her [...]

Sunday/Monday June 16, 2008

A lovely day spent at mums with all the family together for a barbi.

Let’s Party!! June 14, 2008

Well last night it was LT’s birthday party, as many of you know. It was like entering blogsville and catching a glimpse further into who everyone is. I had so much fun! It was lovely to let my hair down and have a great laugh – my tummy was actually sore from laughing some of [...]

Ice-cream May 22, 2008

Today Callum was in great form after not being well recently with sore ears etc and Chris got home early as he was on a course. We headed off with Cal’s bike and Ollie on the reins for the first time, trying to make it fun by pretending he was a horsey. The kids had a [...]

Keeping score May 21, 2008

Tonight we were following on with John Ortberg’s book ‘It all goes back in the box’. We were talking about the difference of how God keeps score of what we do in our lives in comparison on how we keep score of our lifes in relation to our achievements, money and status. I always feel it challenges me, and makes [...]
