Me In A Snap

… why I have been so slack at posting here!

I have been rather busy the last few weeks, although you wouldn’t think so if you could peek in the window. All it would look like was that I was a super lazy mum, spending most of my afternoons on the couch while my amazing daughter plays on the floor next to me.

When actually… I am busy growing another human!!!

I am now just over 12 weeks pregnant, due October 13th and we are thrilled.

We have been trying for over 2 years with fertility treatment and feel so incredibly blessed to have finally reached this point! We can’t wait for October to arrive!

So far, I don’t have anything to complain about. I have had no morning sickness, but I have been extremely tired (hence the couch lying in the afternoons!).

So that explains why I haven’t had much time or energy for posting. Hopefully now that I’m past the 12 week mark, I will get a bit of energy again (maybe). And maybe I’ll get back into the swing of posting again :)

Hope you are all doing well out there.. oh and Happy Easter!

Technically we are now into Autumn… but it certainly doesn’t feel like it! We are still having days where we reach about 28C (82F)! The nights are just beginning to get a little bit cooler, but not enough to need anything more than a blanket, yet!

This is the first weekend that we have been at home and not doing too much. I has been lovely! Mr Wonderful has been pottering in the garden (mainly attacking the weeds), I’ve been able to relax on the couch and Miss Delightful has been enjoying playing in her paddling pool and sandpit!

I know that summer can’t hang around forever, and our poor garden could really do with some rain… but I do love the warmth and sunshine! It is going to be a sad day when I have to find my sweaters and jeans! :)

I hope you are all enjoying some sunshine and relaxing this weekend too!

to blog… sorry readers! But as you can tell from the lack of posts lately we have been rather busy!

I just haven’t found the time to sit down and right a proper blog post… and I’m not going to tonight either!

We have been away a lot, we went on a mini family vacation for 5 days which was lovely and we have spent a few weekends with my parents. And the days that we are at home seem to be so packed that I fall into bed at 9pm utterly exhausted :) But I love life so that’s ok! And things appear to be slowing down now… at least for the month of March :)

So maybe one day I’ll get a proper blog post written!

Miss Delightful decided that she wanted to dress up for Mainly Music… doesn’t she look super cute??

She did some fantastic dancing too!

Yesterday was Valentine’s Day.. we don’t do much to celebrate, but we do get each other a card. This year I made Mr Wonderful a poem card, I saw it over at The Dating Diva’s. If you want to make your own heart poem you can head over here to have a go!

And after dinner I gave Mr Wonderful a piece of paper that said “You float my boat”… and we had Coke Floats for dessert. They were supposed to be Root Beer Floats, but Mr W isn’t a fan :) So I improvised! Oh and in NZ, I believed these would be called Spiders rather than Floats! I got the idea from Thirty Handmade Days, she even provided the super cute printable!

Mr Wonderful made me a photo card of our cute little family to store in my wallet, every time I open it up I get to see the photo! And then he got some gorgeous red roses delivered to our house! I love them :)

I hope that you too had a wonderful Valentine’s Day! :)

This year I have joined up to a Gospel Choir! It is so much fun! I went along last year, but it was too close to Christmas, there was no way I could learn all the songs well enough to join in with their end of year choir. So I have started up again now, new year, new start!

We have been singing some beautiful songs the last 2 weeks.

This one makes me smile every time we sing it (can you imagine a bunch of older ladies and gentlemen singing this? I am on the younger side in the choir)! It is called “Smile” by Kirk Franklin:

And this has to be one of my favourite songs so far, it is called “Still” by Hillsong:

It just sounds so lovely when we all the harmony’s right! I look forward to enjoying more and more songs as the year goes on!
