Loss and Perspective
A couple of days ago I received some very sad news. My Aunty had lost her battle with Cancer. This was a battle that lasted for over 14 years! Yes, that's right, she battled through all of the bad news, all of the chemo and radiation, and every other type of treatment and medication she [...]
Missing a First
A lot of the time a mother witnesses a whole lot of 'firsts' in their children's lives;first steps, first words, first day of schoom,etc, and the father tends to miss a lot of them and hears about them happening, or might see a video or photo if they're lucky. Recently I missed one of my [...]

I was tired and pretty stressed.....So perhaps not the best decision I have ever made, but it needed to be done. The younger 2 Freckled [...]
Fun at Home
Lately we have been pretty busy. Here, there and everywhere. So today we stayed at home. We have done some puzzles, read books.... I bought these books from Home Bargains the other day and kids enjoyed them today. A nice, cheap, non-sugary treat that kept them entertained for ages! Bonus! We also played some games. [...]
School’s Out For Summer!
Today was the kids last day of this school year! I know, we're pretty late to the party, right!? It seems everyone else finished last week! The kids have had a great last few days though, so they haven't seemed to be bothered that they're still at school! We are definitely happy to be joining [...]
