A blog about faith, family and life
It’s count-down time, the advent calendar is out and we’ve started putting up lights and decorations in our house. I am looking at a pile of unwritten christmas cards, and working out who to send to this year, it seems to be a dying art, due to the cost of postage and how easy it […]
Read More Happy Advent Everyone…I’ve recently been lucky enough to participate in a coaching programme called “springboard”. It’s a programme for women and has been really great to be part of. Lots of us on it from different walks of life, all trying to keep our heads above water, and learning from each other about different things we find […]
Read More These WordsI am currently working on end of life care projects for adult services across social care and the NHS. In developing this area, I’ve had to come to terms with my own experiences of death, and it has not been comfortable. As a society I think we are rubbish at acknowledging and talking about people […]
Read More Forever within the numbered days…Our daughter is a big fan of Peppa Pig, the eternal 4 year old and her little brother who have a happy time jumping in puddles, and going on adventures, often with their mum and dad in tow, and usually involving something going wrong and then being rescued. Daddy Pig is often the butt of […]
Read More In praise of Daddy PigIt’s been emotional here today, as our oldest started proper big school in uniform. He loved it, and had a great reunion with his best friend Beth. This summer I have mainly felt completely broke, as I’ve felt bad I can’t afford to do all the things with the kids I would like, but seeing Jonathan […]
Read More School daysSo here we are in the holidays, lots of things for the kids to do and no time or money to take them to do any of them! Top time for parental guilt, nagging etc. I am actually taking holiday in the school holidays this year for the first time in a while, and looking […]
Read More Summer on the farm…My son had his first sports day today, it was really good fun, and lovely to be able to go along and see him interacting with his friends in his class. A year or so ago he wouldn’t have been able to join in, wait in line and take his part, and we felt really […]
Read More Sports DayI am now a fully resident York person, working and living in one place. It’s great! First time I’ve done this for years. I have been a serial commuter, and now giving it up for a 15 minute bike ride. Work is going ok, hard to get my head into lots of new names, people, […]
Read More Sowing the seeds of love…So I have 3 days left in Bradford, I started work there when my eldest was 9 months old, and am leaving almost 4 years later, with a 4 and 2 year old at home, to work closer to home. I am so pleased to be able to put the commute behind me, and looking […]
Read More Bye-bye BradfordOn Saturday last, I went to my best friends wedding which was amazing. I love that they have been together for almost 20 years and still wanted to get married, and celebrate their feelings and devotion to each other. I’ve seen their relationship b…
