Our family's "Crown Jewel"


Our eyes finally met, and life would never be the same again!

Oh, my sweet wee one, I am so thankful to have you...
and could never have imagined that from this tiny sprout:


such a beautiful, BIG-little-girl could emerge:


Today you are five, and I simply cannot believe that half a decade has whizzed past us already.

Happy Birthday, my spritely, spirited girl.
You make our family perfectly complete.

xoxoxo proud to be your mummy xoxoxoxo

Sunday Morning Potty Humour.



Child Number Two: (bursting into the kitchen with the balletic grace of a sumo wrestler) Hiya, Mum!! What's for breakfast??!!

Mother: (blearily stirring concoction in large mixing bowl, whilst waiting for coffee to brew) Bran muffins. Bran, with raisins.

Child Number Two: (deadly serious) Bummer.

Cue hysterical laughter.

Can Wee Three pleeeze, puh-LEEZE have her training wheels off this weekend?


Ummmm... Nope.

Happy Mother's Day


When You Thought I Wasn't Looking

When you thought I wasn't looking
You hung my first painting on the refrigerator
And I wanted to paint another.

When you thought I wasn't looking
You fed a stray cat
And I thought it was good to be kind to animals.

When you thought I wasn't looking
You baked a birthday cake just for me
And I knew that little things were special things.

When you thought I wasn't looking
You said a prayer
And I believed there was a God
I could always talk to.

When you thought I wasn't looking
You kissed me good-night
And I felt loved.

When you thought I wasn't looking
I saw tears come from your eyes
And I learned that sometimes things hurt-
And that it's alright to cry.

When you thought I wasn't looking
You smiled
And it made me want to look that pretty too.

When you thought I wasn't looking,
You cared
And I wanted to be everything I could be.

When you thought I wasn't looking-
I looked...
And wanted to say thanks
For all those things you did
When you thought I wasn't looking.

--Mary Rita Schilke Korzan


Happy Mother's Day to my very own mother, who I'm sure, did more for me "when she thought I wasn't looking" than I could ever begin to imagine.

I am the woman, wife and mother I am today, because of her.
