When they are sleeping

One of my favourite things to do as a mum is to look in on my sleeping children…

It never fails to bring a wave of love and tenderness pouring through me

{even as I write this I am feeling the love *smile*}

Seeing their eyelashes caressing their plump rosy cheeks. The way they curl up cuddling their mama made doll…

How they turn their bedding into a nest {because that is how some dinosaurs sleep… yes really}

Or feel they need a sofa on their bed *hee hee*

I like to pull their blankets up and gaze contentedly at them…

It always brings out tenderness… no matter how tired I am, how busy the day has been. It gives me a moment to pause and reflect

Warmly, Kelly

Ruby’s First birthday


This week we celebrated Ruby’s 1st birthday ❤
Doesn’t she look adorable in her birthday crown!! {we received this gorgeous crown through a craft swap}


There is something wonderful about watching her enjoy mama made presents *happy sigh*

{Although the jacket I was knitting isn’t quite finished… sadly I twisted it ~ first attempt at circular knitting!}

Luckily Nana-ma had made something for her to wear ~ this gorgeous viking hat!!
Just like Daddy’s! Well sort-of… {you can read about our gift giving philisophy here}


Max was sooo excited about her birthday…. He brought her presents to her as soon as she woke up!

And he had saved so he could give her a train… this is so they can use his train set together *smile*
