T&G Tuesday - Dead Tree Hill


Taken while driving through the Yarra Valley.
All the vineyards are displaying lovely brown rows at the moment.
They still look cool though.
I HAD to stop and take a photo of this old tree sitting up there on the hill amongst the rows of grape vines.
I didn't even notice that cloud until I was editing the photo.
I'm liking it!

Snippets of Sunday - Gift from God

I took these photos last Sunday when she had a cold.
 Her throat was sore. Her lips were really dry. She had a stuffy nose.
She still smiles though.
That's just how she is. How she has always been.

She's all gorgeous, thick hair and dreamy eyes.
She has a heart as big as the sun and beyond.
She has the gift of empathy for others not often seen in a young child.
She loves people!
She hates to see people hurting.


She's says she'd like to be a nurse when she grows up.
She'd be a brilliant nurse!
She'd be brilliant at anything she put her mind to.

She always says 'Hello' to people.
Even grown ups.
If she knew you, she would wave and say 'Hi' to you, using your name.
I love that she's even friendly to grown ups.
Us grown ups like to be noticed too.


Look at those eyes.
When they fill with tears for whatever reason, my heart contorts into all sorts of painful shapes.
She holds your heart that way.
You can't help but give it to her.
She's ever so gentle with it.

She's my Angel.
 Our princess.
 A gift from God to be sure.
God knew exactly what He was doing when He made me her Mum.
I need her just as much as she needs me and sometimes, I need her more.

Feel Good Friday - My Blog Crush


I'd like to tell you about my blog crush.
The blog that I always look for and read first when I log into my dashboard.
It makes me feel good every single time I read it. Without fail. No matter what mood I'm in.
It's called Enjoying the Small Things and is written by Kelle Hampton.

She is a wife and mother. A mother of two beautiful little girls. Lainey and Nella.

Kelle has a gift for blogging.
She takes THE BEST photos and includes loads of them in every post, but her writing is what really draws you in.
She is open and honest and funny and shares her life and the loves of her life with us all.
Her writing style is really creative and lets you feel what she is feeling.

She loves her girls furiously.
She is very present for them and is determined to give them the best life and the best of her that she can.

Nella is the reason I smile and sometimes giggle when I see the amazing photos that Kelle takes of her family.
There is just something so very special about Nella.
She is magical.
Without knowing it or trying to, she brightens up so many peoples day.

She ALWAYS makes my day!
Look at her! How can you not fall in love with that little face?!


Then there's Lainey.
Sweet, adorable Lainey.




Do yourself a huge favour and spend some time reading through Kelle's blog.
You'll leave feeling really good!
You'll leave feeling inspired to live the best life you can live.
You'll leave wanting to love those around you furiously and selflessly.


Seriously. Just do it!

Teacups and Graffiti - Winter Trees


All the leaves are brown...



And the air is crisp and clear.


Trees are bare.


I'm a huge fan of winter.


Bring it!

But bring it with some sunshine...please.

Blogger Bungle or User Error?

She's the cutest thing in the world to me!

I just want to let you all know that I'm having a bit of trouble leaving comments on some of your posts. Those of you who DON'T have a pop up window for comments are the blogs that Google won't let me comment on.
Now, if you would be so kind as to change your comment settings so that you have a pop up window AND not have that word verification on, then I'd be most obliged and you will be getting comments from me.

Why oh why did Blogger have to muck around with stuff?
It was all fine before they went and did some maintenance.

Maybe I should clear my browser and cookies.
Would that help my problem? (that's a loaded question if I ever saw one)
