Let us rejoice..... and find some things to love...

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment.

I have 11 interior doors lying flat, coated in wet paint - and invading the ENTIRE of our downstairs - that is, our lounge, dining and kitchen.  You have to step over and around them with room only for one foot at a time.  It's such a shambles I won't take a picture!  My house REEKS like enamel paint and we have some potential buyers coming through on Sunday afternoon.  I am nearly half-way pregnant, and have woken several times in the night feeling "high".

My hubby has been out 3 nights this week, and at the moment is attending an amazing conference at our church.  Because of his musical ability, he is required for most of those sorts of things to play various instruments.  Which means, I am required for babysitting duties. Oh joy.

So a house-bound, only bedroom/bathroom bound mother is BORED! lol.

I ♥ autumn....

First I must apologise for the some weeks in between my last post and this...

I have been deeply overwhelmed with compassion by the devastating earthquake in our Nation, that I haven't been able to think of much to say.

My life seems all a little trivial when faced with such a catastrophe.

I encourage you all to pray for Christchurch, and give however you can - lets not forget in the wake of more recent news pouring in - because those people are still broken and hurting.

Thank God that He alone can put them back together.



I am really LOVING this cooler weather we are having.  I secretly love the cool mornings and evenings - and I love them even more while pregnant.  I have even been getting into exercise again now that it is not scorching in the middle of the day!

The thing I love the most about autumn though - is the beauty.  The streets around our neighbourhood are lined with maple trees.  In autumn, they are magnificent.



It is not too cold that you can still get outside, breathe the fresh, crisp air, and take in the wonder of this amazing world.  The colours of the trees, their fallen leaves crunching under your feet.  The warm sun, just right.

Hope you find a little bit of time in your busy life to do - well, just that!



And I love scarfs, hats, warm jackets and slippers!  And dressing my little lady in them!

Enjoy... x
