The time moves forward on the hourglass tonight – Not a frown line to be seen. A kingdom of inspiration, and it looks like you’re the Queen. The date is here now, on the winding path of life – Cannot hold it back; Heaven knows I’ve tried! So bring it on! Open the door! Be […]

B.M.W.B | Putting face paint on & singing in the bath before coffee!
Browsing Facebook on a Saturday morning in bed doesn’t always make for a peaceful time – but it can create a lot of fun! After coming across an old school friend’s face painting inspiration on Facebook – and sharing it with my three year old – I found myself turfing out cupboards looking for our […]
Finding Love
Some weeks are harder than others – that’s just life. Last week, with the man of the house away on business, my children weren’t quite themselves. There was no time for me to mope about, but rather I had to ‘step-up’ and be strong for them (not that I felt very strong) – particularly for […]

So Proud!
Last weekend Charli said she’d like to audition for her end of term ‘Performance Assembly’. She had a few ideas on what to do, ranging from a dance to the Transformer’s theme tune to a dance routine learned from classes. In the end, she decided to sing one of her favourite songs from a Disney […]
A magic weekend of Birthday party fun, Christmas carols and fun on the Kapiti Coast!
What a magic weekend! Our good friend’s, Marrisa and Michael, organised the best Birthday Party for their daughter Bethany. It was at our favourite place, Te Papa, with a wonderful ‘under the sea’ theme. Afterwards there was a lovely Birthday lunch, balloons and cake. The Christmas trees in Te Papa’s foyer were gorgeous – three […]
