Every Little Bit Helps

Let's help this beautiful blogger who has just lost her husband, after also losing her son last year.

A quick reminder for all you preparing for St Bigid's feast day on the 1st of February~

Blessings to you and your homes,

Blue Skies

The sun is shining here today, after what seems like an eternity of rain. Blue skies - yay! I hope my little boy stayed dry on camp last night. I have been stuck in bed with a bug of some sorts the last few days, with my big son hovering, indulging my every whim..... when he hasn't been at school, that is! He makes the best cup of tea!

I worked from bed yesterday and kept up with all the goings on on Twitter. Jodie, from 'Muddled Up Mumma', retweeted this wonderful list of '55 Gentle Ways To Take Care Of Yourself When You're Busy, Busy, Busy', from over at 'The Freedom Experiment'. Take a look HERE. I like the 'wear your pretty clothes' one .... I need to do more of that.... and possibly the other 54 as well!

Happy Tuesday!

A Mothers Charter!

Here is a beautiful poem, whose Author I cannot find that describes the type of Mother I desire to be.....perhaps unattainable but this is something to strive for.

God made mothers more special than anyone else.
He made them the bearers of life and in so doing,
knew they had to be more exceptional than the rest of us.
He made them the cornerstone of the home, the foundation of the family,
the backbone of society, the ideal of all that is best with the human race.
They are the guardians of decency,
the preservers of peace,
the upholders of truth,
the protectors of morality,
the symbol of virtue,
an inspiration to all that is noble and good in life,
and love knows no greater representative than that of a mother’s love.
Upon our earth, no title is more revered and no sound more beautiful or sweeter heard than the tender loving word - mother.

Blessings to you and your homes,

Monday Nook

This lovely little kitchen nook was sent in by 'Jenny'.

Jenny says, "I have a study nook between my kitchen and laundry and I must say I love it! The main advantage is observing little people's internet use while cooking dinner. I have filing drawers to organise paper flow and a butler's pantry to store any build up, with door closed, until I can get to it."

Jenny says my kitchen was inspiration for her kitchen. Jenny your kitchen nook is inspiration for my next kitchen! We could go on like this forever!

Happy Monday! ... my little tacker is off on school camp.... in the rain. Venue has been changed already. I was having a bit of a whinge on twitter about the $580 school camp levy, for 2 x one night camps. I had a giggle at some of the responses referring to lobster and 1000 thread count sheets. Poor mites are going to be cold and wet. The 'making of men', they say! It's only one night. I'll cope. He's beyond excited.
