Glimpses Of My Summer


I'm enjoying the last few days down the south coast on the beach, savouring the ocean breeze and salt water. Soon we'll be heading off for the long drive home to the mountains. Lou and I, and sometimes Bubs, have been getting up at dawn to watch the sunrise over the ocean, then going on our morning walks being greeted by warm smiles and hello from other early risers on the beach.


Yesterday afternoon we went on a walk. The weather was beautiful and the clouds were like puffs of cotton floating above us.


The tide was high so it wasn't safe to walk around the rocks to get to the other beach. So we jumped off the rocks instead, seeing who could jump the highest and furthest. We then wandered back to the beach house, saving the odd cicada that survived being washed up on the beach before the seagulls could devour them.

Post Cards from the South Coast!


Welcome 2014.

Here's to a creative and bright year ahead. 

I'm down the south coast at the moment and I've figured out that I can blog from my phone, so here goes!

Waiting for Pizza

As an adult and mother of four kids, I'm finding time is flying by. There never seems to be enough hours in the day to get things done.

The other night the kids and I went out for dinner. Their dad was working and I was too tired/lazy ;) to cook so we went out and had pizza.

While we were waiting for our pizza, Katie amused herself on my phone by taking photos of her brothers waiting for pizza. I loved how she captured their expression of impatience while waiting for the pizza to be served. I was reminiscing when I was a child when time seemed to drag on - 5 minutes seemed like hours.
Kids now days live in a fast paced world of instant gratification from modern technology. Sometimes kids need to sit for a moment and be bored to let their problem solving and imagination skills take over.

Noro Stripes


When I'm not bouncing Bubs up and down on my knee, I'm finding a little time to get some knitting done. Here is a sneak preview of a scarf I'm making. This Noro Stripes is for a good friend for Christmas. I love the blue and brown together.
