Wishing the moments away

28/09/201611/10/2017
Sophie asleep on my lap

Yesterday, you climbed into my lap for a snuggle, And I thought of the tasks that I needed to juggle, So instead of letting myself make the most of the cuddle Impatiently waited for it to be through.   All those times in the night when you had to be fed; All the hours I… Read More

Yesterday, a baby went to sleep in my arms

24/02/201623/02/2016

Yesterday, a baby went to sleep in my arms, and for a moment the world stopped. I gazed at her in wonder, my heart overflowing with love. A moment cherished, a moment stored in my heart, A moment that flew past all too quickly.   The world turned, and the changes came A Moses basket… Read More

Taking my heart baby home for the first time: a milestone moment

04/02/201603/02/2016

The way they freely express themselves – there is no self-consciousness, no worrying over whether their painting is “good” or “true to life” – just the innocent and carefree joy of getting messy and making a beautiful picture. They paint from the heart, paint for the love of painting… Read More

My big blended family

22/01/201504/12/2017
Me with my eight brothers and sisters on my wedding day

Whenever I tell people that I have four brothers and four sisters, they nearly always assume that my mother gave birth to nine children. Actually, the reason my family is so big is because it is a blended family. Both my parents were married twice before they met and married each other. My mother had… Read More

Jessica in her preschool uniform ready for her first day

To my darling little Jessica Today was a big day for you – a little step into the world of independence as you went to preschool for the very first time. You looked so very grown-up in your preschool jumper. Surely it was only yesterday that you were a teeny tiny baby snuggled up to… Read More
