Just a few quick photos of our big day out yesterday…

We’re totally exhausted after a whirlwind couple of days but filled with excitement for the future! Thanks so much for all the lovely comments on the last post, they are much appreciated :)

Also a huge Happy Birthday to my beautiful sister for yesterday as well! xx

 

Deluged and Breached!!

This is happening at my house right now

After so many long years of drought I fear we need to do some water proofing around the home. I sat down to my jewellery this evening and all of a sudden it was raining on my face. That definitely should NOT happen indoors.

I’m pretty sure rain is meant to be on the OUTSIDE of the glass. We like to do things differently here :)

So I’ve done all I could do… put some towels and buckets down.

There were a few very loud cracks of thunder so I went in to see if Aus was ok in bed (Noah could sleep through anything). He was busy watching the lightening out his window and when asked if he was ok, he yelled ‘Whoa did you see that one Mum!? That was so cool!’ So I left him to his lightening watching.

Then the lights went out. Thank god it was only for about 10 seconds, then they came back on. But I went to check on him again and he said ‘I’m only a little bit scared Mum’. So I assured him that if the lights go out again I will come straight to him. My big brave boy. (who incidentally doesn’t wear nappies to bed anymore! Yay!)

I’m off to snuggle in my big warm bed, guess we’ll assess the damage in the morning!

 

Gifts for orphans...

My dad is off to Bulgaria in a few weeks on a holiday. By himself. I know, weird isn't it? Anyway, I have been thinking a lot lately about how I want to help some children who have little to no joy in there lives. So I asked him if I made some things like toys and games, if he could go to an orphanage and give them to the children there. He said yes and now I'm on the look out for things I can make for him to take, they can't be too big or too heavy so that he can get them there. So if you read this and have any suggestions please leave a comment!

Since having Aussie Bob I get terribly upset at anything sad to do with children. All kids should be given the chance to grow up in safety and love, with clean water and food in their bellies. So many don't have these basic things and I want to help them some how, so I've been thinking more and more lately that I would like to volunteer to go overseas where they most need help and do what I can. Though my first duty is to my own child and partner so it will take some planning and will most likely be a few years until I can do it. So until then I'll do what I can from home.
It really does make my heart bleed at the things that are done to children. To those who cannot defend themselves. So I hope the things I'm going to make bring at least a little bit of joy to a kid who needs it....

Also if you have something you would like to send with my dad, please email me and I'll do my best to organise it. Thanks!
