We love you mum...

My mother is my lifeline, she is my complete saviour,
She does everything she can for me, and for that I praise her,
She went without when I was younger so I could have nice stuff,
She worked herself to the bone, but never did she give up.


My mother is my lifeline, she is truly my best friend,
she help me through the good and bad, she stayed there till the end,
she pick me up when I was down and wiped the tears away,
she will be there when I need her every night and everyday.




 




My mother is my lifeline, she’s completely a shining star,


She has never made me feel alone, no distance is too far,


She’ll travel to the moon and back, if I ask her to.




My mother is my lifeline, this poem I wrote for you.

Lots of Love

Winter wonderland...

Wow! What a chilly weekend it was. I must say that I do enjoy this kind of weather when you can lock yourself indoors with the heater going and not do too much. But sometimes it is also nice to get outside amongst the cold and wet and have a little fun :)  So on Sunday we decided to have a little family outing and headed up to The Dandenongs hoping for a little snow action, and as you can see The Dandenongs did not disappoint.

The girls have never seen snow before and I was a little curious as to how they would handle it, and they LOVED IT!  Bella just couldn't wait to get amongst it and all she wanted to do was "throw and catch snowballs." Which I must say she did very well as both Brett and I coped a few from her. LOL!  Piper too enjoyed herself, especially when it came to the puddles. At one stage she was ankle deep (thank goodness for gumboots) in the water and ended up with pools of water in the folds of her jeans. She seemed to be having fun and didn't complain so we decided to leave her to it.

Seeing that both girls loved it so much, I now want to take them to Mt Donna Buang where they can enjoy a little more snow and even go tobogganing. Oh well, we will have to wait and see?



The scenery was beautiful and it's amazing how different everything looked when covered in snow. 



 

A few months ago my sister Helen bought me this small cross stitch from Spotlight as it had cherries on it, and I finally decided to give it a go and this is the outcome. I don't think I did too bad, especially being that I have never done a counted cross stitch (blank canvas) before.



(excuse the photo quality. A bit blurry I know)

Bella has now requested that I do one to hang in her room, but only if I can find one small enough as they are very time consuming and I don't have much spare time :(

Stay warm.

look out elle mcpherson...

Move over Elle there is a new fashion label in town and it's by "Bella B".

This is what happens when Isabella gets to choose what she wants to wear for the day. It's a bit of everything all rolled into one, but at least the colours match :-)  I had to take a photo to show Brett as he has this thing about socks and jandals. He "loathes" it. LOL! 

It actually took me some convincing to get her to change as I refused to take her to the shops looking like this. (Mean mummy aren't I?)



Not too much has been happening except the usual.  We are counting down the days until we go on holidays and I am stressing a bit about the flight as I just have this feeling that Isabella is going to freak out a bit on the plane? Just keep your ears open on the evening news in case you hear a story about a flight having to make an emergency landing due to an out of control, noisy child. That will be my Bella. LOL

We are heading out to Turkish on Saturday night YUM!!!! Finally getting to take my girlfriend Bec out for her birthday dinner :-)  It's a shame her birthday was a while ago in May but we are both finding it very hard to have a night off at the same time. Anyway, any excuse will do to have Turkish. Mmmmmmm

 

My sister came over the other night to motivate me into doing some scrapping and this was the out come. Unfortunatley I always manage to wait until the light is bad to take my photo's so the photo doesn't really give it justice as the colours look pretty bad.



Well hope all are well and until next time.
