Why Blog?

I have been visiting blogs for a while now and enjoy the little window into people's lives. Often the daily musings have been very encouraging. I enjoy knowing that others are doing their best and instilling joy into their family's daily lives. I also enjoy sharing fellowship with many Christians around the world... I like the idea of a record of daily life. Being a mother and homemaker often does not show a 'product' at the end of the day, however I find it a nice source of reflection to visually see what we have been doing. Having a hobby or mastering something new may be a foreign concept when busy with little ones, however I think that blogs,emails and the internet are some things that are accessible at this time. As much as I like crafty projects, I am not a perfectionist and my messiness can sometimes mean that projects do not work out very well. I think this little 'project' can be quick, slap dash and imperfect. So we will see....

Ball of fluff

Stroking our darling cat is relaxing and good for the endorphines. It also forces me to sit down long enough for him to get comfortable. He is an indoor cat as we have a lot of lovely birdlife and owls around, not to mention a garden friendly, snail eating blue tongue lizard. Our cat is named Noddy as he has a bell around his neck...

Up late, it's a new day!!!!

I can post again as it is a new day. I am a super mother!!! I have just spent 3 hours downloading a game for my son on his Ipod....

Not so super mother though, as we realised that our 2 year old daughter has middle ear infections in both ears and has had for a few days.......... off to bed, hopefully not grumpy mother later today.....

Our Family

Husband, E and four dear ones (at least they are cute I always say): 9 year old boy, 6 year old girl, 4 year old girl and 2 year old girl. Add to that one gorgeous, moody cat; Noddy. A lively household one might say.....

Hills.....

For as long as I can remember, a restful scene for me has been a grassy hill overlooking an ocean. It is cold so we all need to wear fluffy jumpers.

Every mothers' day, I am heard to say "Hill upon hill" as we drive through the Blue Mountains, about to enjoy our picnic and jump in Autumn leaves.

The view from our house is of a hill, covered in Eucalypts. The mist sits in the valley in the morning at this time of year. I love it.....
