Loving this twitter #storm #party in #wellington tonight! Still got power & iPhone charged to 100%, so I'm up for a big one! — Sarah Lee (@BritMumInNZ) June 20, 2013 If this storm was in any other nz city, it would have destroyed everything. Here any things built flimsy blew away years ago. #storm13 — […]

Prose for Thought – If the rain could wash his pain away…
A poem for anyone who knows someone far away, who you wish you could help in some small way xx ________________________________________________
Grateful for the little slices of life that make up every day
A new chapter is about to start in our lives, with a huge move from New Zealand to Santa Barbara, California within the next couple of months. Time will be filled with all the logistics of moving and keeping our three children (and ourselves) as emotionally stable as possible. In the meantime, it is simpler […]
After ‘3am In The Morning’ I am hanging out for ‘Midnight in Paris’….

Prose for Thought – Lovers Winter Retreat
Lovers are never compromised by the seasons. Lovers will be lovers, what ever the weather. They will find a way to love, a way to embrace, that no elements can steal from. Today at dusk I watched two lovers, walking on the sand. The wind was cold and brisk, the waves racing onto the shore, […]
#FMSPhotoADay | 7 – 13 June
The weekend before the man of the house returned
Well, us girls survived without tearing any limbs off one another. The house looks surprisingly together (can’t say the same for the garage – where I’ve shifted half the toys to, in an attempt to regain a sense of a home, rather than a creche!). Still, the children think the garage is a rocking play […]
Sometimes time apart is a good thing
As much as I’ve missed the man of the house this week, it’s been a good week and shown me how capable I can be on my own with my three daughters. I’ve had it easy in a way though – only one child to get to school, for only three days this week – […]
Prose For Thought – The Bond
A poem about the bond that many people feel across a lifetime for special people they meet. They may not realise the depth of their bond till much later – but to recognise it, is still powerful in itself. They may not get to journey together in life, side by side, but their connection lives […]

Things I’m Loving & Grateful for this Friday
Loving this week… ⤠Sunshine after a cold snap, with a sprinkling of snow on distant hills. ⤠Books to escape into, that I can carry around in my back pocket for opportune moments via my iPhone. I’m hooked on Jayde Scott’s ‘Ancient Legends’ and onto book six in as many days! ⤠A kind […]
Remember when… | Prose for Thought
This poem talks of the importance of remembering the way a couple, in the early stages of a relationship connect – and how, as the years roll by, on the roller-coaster of life, it is becomes ever more important to hold on tight and not forget that connectedness. ____________________________________ Linking up with…
Barbie and Ken (aka Sarah and Dan) escape for dinner on their Wedding Anniversary.
Over twenty years ago they met. The past fourteen years they have spent wed, living in New Zealand. The past ten years they have been busy – with building a couple of businesses, selling them, making three babies and embarking on the never ending road of parenting responsibilities. Time together has been hard to find, […]
