A Grandmother's Love...

My mom was doing something on Vistaprint today and asked me to find her a photo of her and the boys.

I found this one.

It was a really difficult photo to take! There was constant movement and this was the best result of the bunch.

But she loves it.

And it made me think about just how many photos I have of the grannies in my kids' lives with them, and the answer is sadly, very very few.

For example I wish I had more photos of this particular Grandmother.

But she lives 11 timezones away and my kids only see her on Skype now.

We miss Ouma.

I must say that I think my children are very blessed to have grandparents in their lives.

I know children who, for various reasons, don't.

And Grannies are special creatures indeed to a young child.

Making Christmas Gifts Part One

The first stage in my cunning plan to make christmas presents...

Can you guess what I'm going to do?

:)

I found the idea in a book.

It actually looked quite stylish!

Wonder if I can recreate it and whether you can guess what it is?

Happy Birthday Little Sis

Keren and Molly

Tomorrow is my little sisters birthday.

I still remember the night she was born. I was 5.

I remember being woken in the middle of the night and driven to my best friend Storm's house.

A few days later my mum came home with a very little person.

The siblings

 This little person would prove to be a very interesting addition to our family....

Certainly the prettiest!

The most lovable.

Many times the most annoying!

 :)

Just getting you back little sis...

(Actually, I really envy the fact that you got the nice-bum genes! You suck!)

Because of our age difference there were often times where we didn't see eye to eye - purely because we always seem to be at different stages in our journey through life.

But over the years she has matured into someone I am very proud to know.

And I love her - lots!

 See? I told you she was the prettiest one!

Happy birthday Keren.

I love you!
