dreaming

 
 
Dear sleep, I miss you dearly ... I know I didn't like you much when I was a kid but I'm sorry...I need you know more then ever.
Can you feel how tired I am? Working mamas out there , I now get it. More power to you!
It is hard working 8 h a day and come home to two energetic 4 and 2 year olds that want your full attention when all you want to do is sleep.
 
I thank God for keeping me going and my mother. Her stories about how hard it was for women back in the day keeps my lips thigh from complaining to much.
 
It's only been 2 months and I already want to quit.I don't like being away from home, staying  in one place for 8 hours/day spending your life away working, I am seriously thinking to move on an island some were and live barefoot on a beach eating my own grown produce and playing with my kids all day, exploring and learning with God.
 
Just so you know I might have fallen asleep writing this post...
 

 See you tomorrow for What I Wore Wednesday!

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

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!"
