Rainbow
After the storm comes a rainbow. Beautiful, bright and magical. A promise of good things to come. A reminder that beauty and love and goodness exists in this world even in the midst of sorrow. A reminder of hope. A deliverer of joy. Deciding to make another baby after losing our precious daughter was easy. […]
June
I’d have to say that June has seen me transform, a lot. In January, when we lost our precious baby (no cause was found – she was perfect and I had a perfect pregnancy, so her death will remain a mystery), I thought I would never, ever be happy again. Ever. Five months later, and […]
Easter Holidays 2014
We have had lovely holidays! They began with a delightful visit from Monte’s sister Sarah and her family. They stayed with us for a week over Easter and we had a great time together. One of the highlights was that Sarah and Russell minded the children so Monte and I could have a night away […]

There is something beautiful in the simplicity of staying at home with your young children and just ‘being.’ The kids loved staying home to play with their new gifts and eat their favourite […]
