Have you ever had one of those days when you realize that there is zero glamour in your job? This afternoon, snuggling in the sun on the sofa with Ethan, nursing him and preparing him for his late afternoon nap, Ethan made the familiar bodily sounds

Ashley Learns to Rock
Saturday, 11 July 2009 12:00 A GMT-08
Following my review of August Rush yesterday I thought it would be fun to share some images of Ashley discovering the guitar. Last summer we went to a birthday party where our friend Christian brought his guitar. We had a great time listening to him
Inspirational Rush: Guitar Style
Friday, 10 July 2009 12:00 A GMT-08
A few months back James and I watched a film called August Rush. We loved the story about a young boy who hears music all around him and believes that if he follows the music it will lead him to his parents from whom he was separated as a baby. He ru

I don't get the opportunity to hang out with friends much these days. Whenever the girls are off from school it is harder to get good quality adult time with other grown-ups. Today the stars aligned (as did the sun following three grey days here
A Storm in a Teacup

I just popped over to catch up on what’s happening with Chris at Notes From the Trenches and seems that at the moment we are living parallel lives. Only a few hours ago my 5yr old daughter drew a little picture of me, wrote "Mum" unde

"To find the meaning of your life is to find the meaning of your everyday activity." -Shunryu Suzuki This was the quotation on the anniversary card that I received from James this week. I've included the image on the card too because I love it and I
Baby Bruises
Sunday, 5 July 2009 5:34 P GMT-08
While snuggling in bed with Ashley the other night, she pointed to a tiny little bruise on my left thigh and asked what was it. As I looked at the little bruise I felt a rush of delight. I hadn’t noticed it and haven’t seen one for a few
Dawn Delights Part 2
Saturday, 4 July 2009 5:05 A GMT-08
I love the dawn. Having a new infant in our bed these last couple of months has meant that I am experiencing the dawn a lot more again. And I am grateful. As I lie in bed and nurse Ethan I listen to the birds welcome the day and I watch the light
Friday Film Follow Up

With the 4th of July on Saturday this year James had this Friday off. We were able to enjoy a great family day together, which included trading Pokemon cards (more on that later) and watching two family films together. We started by taking a family
