WIWW 03/04/2013

 

 

I know, It's been ages since my last WIWW post. It looks like Spring is finally here so I got inspired to write a post.

I hope you had a blessed Easter and you are enjoying a sunny Spring!

 

I got glasses, and I love them. I don't wear them all the time, just for computer work /reading and driving .

Yes,driving.

 I finally found the courage to drive in UK.

I need to drive to work every morning so I had no choice, and I'm actually looking forward to get used to it and enjoy it, appreciate the freedom that it gives.

Update

 

 

 

 

There has been a lot going on lately that keeps me away from blogging. I can't find enough time,energy, inspiration.

I guess this is a bit of an "all over the place" update.

 

I went back to work.

New job.

A lot of new things that I need to learn about.

 I am studying a course on line ( with an overdue assessment).

 

It is a bit crazy, I am in desperate need of a new routine. I'm all over the place, ....pretty much like this post.

I am still heartbroken for leaving my girls home (with my mother) and missing all the perfect little moments, that I will never get back. I keep telling my self I got the weekends to spend quality time with them and reconnect, but somehow that dose not make me feel better.

I am doing it for their future, for ballet classes and piano lessons, college,university.
I am doing it so we can give more to  people  that are in need.

 

My girls were sick for  3 weeks, so we cancelled their birthday party...twice. We are hoping to have it on this Sunday afternoon.

 

I was sick, still am. Getting better though.:)

Looking forward to spring and the freshness that it brings.

 

 Hope to talk to you all soon.

Thank you for sticking with me.

 

 I hope you have a blessed week and a wonderful spring!

 

hi

Hello there, it's been a while since my last post, I guess I'm on   unplanned blog holiday.

I have been busy with the girls birthdays and the party planning for next weekend, I will share with you all the details soon.

We celebrate each one on their birthday with a special breakfast and a cake when daddy gets home from work and have a double party at the end of the week! Their birthdays  are 5 days apart .

 

 

 

Emma's birthday.

 

This really is  just a quick post  to say hi and let you know I'm still alive,
(and share our birthday family tradition, I guess) .

Can you guess this blog post was unplanned as well?
:)
I hope you enjoy your weekend! It's been a sunny day here!

 

Take care!

Letter to my daughter, Hannah

You  are so happy and full of life , my baby Hannah.

 I love your cheeky smile .

 

 

 

You will be two tomorrow.

Two years since I first kissed your rosy cheeks for the very first time and saw your big beautiful brown ayes. 

 

 

 You were a beautiful surprise! A blessing!

 

 

God had you in His plan for our life to bless us at the end of our trials and  tribulations , you were born in a new place, a new country, a new beginning for our family.

 

 

You are beautiful and wonderfully made !

 

 

I am so proud to be your mummy! I pray to our God to give me wisdom to help  shape you into the woman God has created you to be.

You are brave and kind. You, my dear baby, can change the world.

 

Happy birthday my baby!

 

 

 

With all my love,

                                   Mommy 

Shabby Apple

Hello there!

How is your week going so far?

Have you noticed the lovely little banner on the right side of my blog today? Looks so pretty!I have been invited to join Shabby Apple Affiliate Program! Yes, this is  a big deal to me!

 It means I am doing something right with this blog! haha 

 Happy dance!!

I just adore their clothes ! So feminine and romantic !  A Shabby Apple dress does justice to that beautiful body of yours! They have so many styles to choose from and fun and colourful collections, it's just a treat for your eyes!

 

 

Oh , in love with this yellow skirt!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...the perfect green!

 

Be still my heart...

 

 

 

more on Shabby Apple:

 

in their own words...

"At Shabby Apple, we believe in both femininity and feminism. As feminine women, we create clothing that is artful in design and crafted with a vintage-style flare. Each piece is carefully constructed to both flatter a women’s figure and maintain her mystery. As feminists, we created a company that is women-owned and operated and that donates to help other women start their own businesses. With our old-fashioned style and modern ideals, we believe the best is yet to come!"

Go  and grab your self a gorgeous spring dress or skirt or some really nice  swimwear or some shoes or....!

Super excited for co-hosting this week Grow Your Blog  blog hop! Please join me in making new friends and grow your lovely blog !

                                                                                                        Erika

 

Good morning and welcome to the Grow Your Blog (or GYB) blog hop, Valentines Edition!

 Paula and I are so happy to have you link up with us this week.

And we happily welcome any new bloggers to the party! :)

 How has your week been? Do you have any plans for the weekend?

What is the Grow Your Blog Hop all about?

 NETWORKING!

 Meeting new bloggers, finding new content to follow, building your readership. Why is blog networking great for you? Simply put, it increases readership and traffic to your blog.

 How do you network?

Visit. Comment. Invite. Communicate. These are key to growing your blog.

THIS WEEK'S HOSTS & LOVELY CO-HOSTS!

 

Julie from This Gal Cooks (HOST)

Paula from Call Me PMc (HOST)

Deandra from Chaos, Commotion and Emotion (CO-HOST)

Erika from Shine On (CO-HOST)

Megan from A Southern Belle from New Jersey (CO-HOST)

Mayra from Ponder Wonders (CO-HOST)

 

WHEN YOU LINK UP TO THIS PARTY:

• Follow your hosts and co-hosts
• Link up the main page of your blog, not an individual post. You may link up your individual posts to Marvelous Mondays.
• Visit and follow other bloggers
• Comment to let them know that you stopped by and how you followed (Email, GFC, Facebook, Bloglovin, etc)
• Invite them to visit your blog (be sure to leave your blog web address - too many times have i seen bloggers comment and request a visit to their blog without leaving their blog web address)
• Communicate with them about what you like on their blog. Let them know you are interested in their blog. USE THEIR NAME! A simple "I'm so and so stopping by. I followed you please follow me." just isn't going to interest someone into visiting your blog. Sure, you can request a visit to your blog or a follow along but engage in some type of conversation first.
• Grab a button and promote the party(you can get the button on This Gal Cooks right here.)
