anew

Just wanted to pop in and wish everyone well for this year.  Our seasonal celebrations seemed to never end with different family gatherings.  "Presents" is a new words shouted enthusiastically by a little boy.    Aren't we so lucky to have the beach.  Free, bountiful beauty.  I finally feel that I have come to terms with the changes that overtook my life in the last few years and working so hard to loose something.  Now I can return to the place I love.  A little uncomplicated beach cottage where we can stay for the next  chapter of our lives. There will be a cross over of places.  And it is sudden I know.    It just happened to all into our hands.

Much love and peace to you

up early

Actually I think I have been awake since 4 am.  I have been up pottering around now since 5.  Made a pot of tea (trying not to add sugar now) and had Berrima baked bread toasted and Che has slept into now. 5.55am. I have never managed to do this, since he has been born.

Some chrissy decorations are up.  Now just got to make the birthday cake for this weekend.  My inspiration is from here.  Any tips?  Should I do the packet butter cake thing or make some very healthy concoction like pear and chocolate cake made with spelt flour and rice flour.  Making the cake tomorrow as working today.  And hope to put it together early morning Sunday.

Have a good day everyone.

its ok

After a  little bit of soul searching have decided its ok to continue.  I really really appreciate the little bit of connection with fellow bloggers I've had so far.  I feel so grateful to have had this opportunity to finally be a parent with all the challenges.  Being me is ok.

I do often wish I could be better at a lot of things.  A better partner, mother, organiser, Doctor, and especially a better friend.  I often get caught up in the small stuff.  The bigger picture is very bright.

Best wishes everyone and take care over what can be a bit of crazy time.
