This morning at school we held a cake sale for Children in Need. The children are all wearing spotty clothes and they will do some fun activities to raise money to help children who really need it. I am so thankful that I have 2 healthy children. Yes, they have both had their problems but [...]

Being thankful
Posted: 18 November 2011 in About me, Health, Katie, Positivity, Robyn, Thankful Friday0
So today we go to hospital for Robyn’s op. She doesnt have surgery until tomorrow afternoon so we will have plenty of time to ask questions. I’m nervous, really nervous. I can’t help but worry about my baby girl having this procedure done. She is having a Nissen’s Fundoplication done. They will repair her hiatus [...]

Today has been pretty horrible. Anthony’s job is under threat. For regular readers of my blog you will know he was out of work for over 18mths until September. To say this is bad news is an understatement. A wise friend of mine told me this: “Try to concentrate on what you want rather than what you don’t [...]

Today is Advent Sunday. I had to explain to Robyn this week that Advent Sunday isn’t necessarily the day we open the 1st door on our Advent calendars. I expected her to be disappointed but instead she was excited about lighting the 1st Advent candle at church and began talking about counting down the Sundays [...]

Right, I need to get back to blogging. Yes. I will try my very best, starting now. In a day that is easy to remember negatives I need to jot down a few positives. The things that have made me happy today are: Getting an email back from the local newspaper to say they are [...]

On my photography course this week I am asked to take two pictures of someone, somewhere or something that you really like. This has really got me thinking. I have been trying hard to think which two things are worthy of being at the top of that list and of course which two things are good to [...]
Robyns tests went well. The radiologist said there does seem to be a slight hernia which would explain alot of her symptoms. We are just waiting on another test now and then a follow up appointment. She was a superstar having the test done. She had to drink quite alot of the barium and said [...]
