Moms and Sons

By -
(circa 2009)


What is it about little boys? I absolutely love and adore my girls but there is something truly unique about my affection for my son.


'Mom, when I grow up can I marry you?'

and

'Mom, when I am big I will build my house next to yours so
we can still be together okay?'




I never want to forget these tender moments with him because I know all too well that these will be few and far between in the years to come.

(circa 2011)


My heart is tied to this little man. Bless him.

My eldest, reminds me constantly, that all men are not selfish, stupid and insensitive. He tells me when I look nice. He notices when I have my hair done, or make an effort with my make up. He knows when I've got shoes on, that are "special" and not my regular trainers or blundstones. My theory is that guys become de-sensitized to women - by all the skanky ho's they take up with before they find the ONE. Any girl, who messes with either of my boys, will have me to deal with and it will NOT BE PRETTY. Boys are super special! I love mine to the ends of the universe and back again,

These moments are not few and far between, they may change as they grow up but there is still a very special bond between a Mom and her boys.
I still have tender moments and my boys are bigger already.
Love them, bless them and feed them well.

So true. I adore Matthew too.. Boys are so affectionate and sweet... the other day he crawled into bed with me in the middle of the night... thinking i was asleep .. he snuggled up behind me and whispered "I love you mommy".

For yes, the special tie
And yes, the continuing tie

And *sigh*
for the way life gets in the way of it.

Hello April 2024

By -
We have settled into our new home.  It has taken many twists and turns along the way. In August 2022, Rach moved out and now she is returning home. Which means I am renovating the tiny house to make space for my firstborn.  I can safely say I am very excited to have everyone under the roof again - I was not ready for my eldest to leave so soon. It was never the plan. Life has a way of offering second chances and restoration in way we never can imagine. Although this comes with its own set of challenges - for her and for me - I see it as an absolute win. It may be a revolving door and various permutations in the years ahead but this is almost certainly the last year all 3 kids will be under my roof. This blog was born in 2007 - when Levi was under a year old. I spent the next 8 years sharing my life and theirs right here.  I have battled to figure out what this blog now needs to be ?  Am I going to continue to write for my kids? I am not even sure they need that anymo...

Silent Tears

As I was rushing around putting kids to bed my tween, Honey, beckoned to me. 'Come here Mom, I need to talk to you.' Something in her tone slowed me down and forced me to take a breath and follow her into her bedroom. As I looked at my beautiful daughter, growing up so fast I heard these words tumble out of her mouth: 'Mom, I hate my face. I am ugly'. I cannot tell you how unprepared I was for this statement. And yet, in an instant, I remembered this time in my life; when I looked in the mirror and didnt like what I saw. I listened quietly as she went through each of her stunning features and told me what she saw. I know there is little I can say with objectivity as her mother. She wont believe me just as I didnt believe my mother. I am happy to say when she woke up this morning she was her usual cheerful self. Full of beans, energy and confidence. Not a glimmer of the sad, insecure little person I saw the previous evening. I will have to start anticipatin...

April lockdown life

The weekend went by in a blur.  A blur of eating, lounging, sleeping, netflixing, occasional exercise and general malaise. I did, finally, get around to setting my kids loose to find their Easter eggs...a week later but no one really knows what day of the week or month it is anyways. There was much hilarity as the boyf took his life in his hands and pushed the girlf into the pool to celebrate Easter victory. Usually this would have him sin-binned for hours but she took it unusually well.... I spent some time online searching for ways to pivot the business I work for...in an attempt to keep my income rolling in. Sadly my rental properties are not ticking over as my tenants cannot pay rent...this will be month 2 of zero rental income for me which is terrifying..but I cannot blame them. We are all suffering at the hands of this ridiculous outbreak and can only hope that some sort of revenue generating income finds its way into our economy soon. I have started watching Outlande...
