Happy Birthday Dear Vellvin ♥
I know this is not your actual birthday, that it was last Friday but as you were sick today is the day we will celebrate the special day that is 'all about you'
I know that it is a blessing to have such a sweet and lovely girl as you for a daughter and we give thanks for the fact that you are a part of our family.
As you turn 14, I mean really how can that be already. I still remember the sweet little baby who would sit in front of the basket of toys for ages playing so happily and I see this now in your generally happy and sweet demeanor that you grace us with every day.
I pray you are well enough to enjoy this special day and that it may be a remarkable year ahead for you as you continue to grow in every virtue and that you continue to share your love of Christ with all around you in your every word and example.
Love you always my sweet,

Creamy Whites
A casual Sunday for me is the prefect time to relax, its often my day that I spend the morning with my family and then allow some creative time for myself, to blog, pin away or just to read the latest magazines. Lately I have been drawn to simplicity, warmth, texture and whites, aged metals and woods, brick, sea grass matting, greys and earthy tones, I dont see dull or boring I see the complete opposite, it gives me total clarity!

One of those days........
Well actually a few of, one of those days!
We have had some sort of virus run through a few, well quite a few of the children and I and those children not sick, have spent most of the last two days and three nights helping our sweet ones who have been constantly vomiting.
It has been a constant round of trying to make them comfortable and doing infection control each time we empty a sick bucket. We have been trying to keep fluids down but they keep coming up again no matter how small a sip we ask the little ones to have.
Our sweet little Trahaearn has been most clingy to his mama and while I so love snuggling him in while he is sick especially, I mean who can resist that sweet little voice calling out 'mama. my mum mum mama'
It is times like these though that I am so grateful for those extra helping hands of the older children who can snuggle another sad little dumpling or take a sip or water or change some one who did not make the bucket.
So tonight after finally getting the sick to bed, and fixing up the baby again, I spent time in the kitchen cleaning up the dinner mess that we had not gotten around to.
I admit I was quite content just fixing up my new milk kefir grains, straining my old ones and hoping they will make it back. Rescuing the overflowing sourdough starter and then finally washing up all the dishes and pots that would not fit in the dishwasher.
I was able to pray the rosary with the app on my i-phone while doing these simple yet rewarding jobs.
I was reminded of the many times I have spent late evening preparing food and mixing up special treat for those most precious to me and I know that this is where I love to be.........
The kitchen which for me is the heart of my home, the place where life is at it's busiest and yet most productive for me. A place where I can fulfill my vocation of wife, mama and homemaker.
A place that I am proud to have not only physically but emotionally too.
So before I check on my loved ones before turning in for the
Blessings to you and your homes,
