Easter Bunnies

April Fool's Day once again. I still can't quite believe that the prank post I posted last year that I was pregnant would backfire on me.

I was in fact 5 weeks pregnant upon writing it. I swear I had no idea that I was with child. Later that week we found out we were expecting not just one but TWO! Mother Nature definitely has a sense of humour.

Or maybe it was my subconscious telling me. Some sort of premonition perhaps or simply a woman's instinct.

I better not do a prank post this year in case it comes true again. Haha

Hope you all had a lovely break. Wishing everyone a blessed Easter!

In Her Shoes

My mother is a gentle person with a huge heart who always sees the good in people and I've always looked up to her. She taught me to be forgiving and to always look at life from different perspectives, to always put myself in other people's shoes.

When I look into my daughters eyes I am filled with worry that I will not be able to protect them all the time. Now I finally know why my Mom worries even up until now that I'm 31! Now I finally know the answers to a lot of things I used to just wonder about. I guess I had to be in my Mom's "shoes" before I could fully understand the meaning of true love from a Mother's perspective.

I found a blog entry I wrote in 2005 about parenting. (Confession alert!) Before I became a parent my biggest worry and fear was that I will not be a good parent. Unknowingly my Mom has prepared me all my life all along. 

To the incredible woman who gave me life, thank you for all your love and nurture. For making me the person I am today. I will always be your little girl. And as an added bonus you have an additional two little girls from me and Mark. =) 

Happy birthday Grandma! We love you so much. 

Blessed Birthday

Today as I turn 31, I couldn't really ask for anything more. I've been given the greatest gift of all, my soulmate & my angels. They complete me. Thank you Lord for all the blessings! I will be forever grateful. To everyone who sent their love, thank you for taking the time and for making my birthday extra special! Love you all. xoxo <3

Birthday Give-Away

Do you participate in contests? 

I normally don't because I never seem to ever win anything anyway. Having said that, a couple of weeks ago I joined a contest by @expediasg and a few days later I received 2 complimentary movie passes to Cloud Atlas. Yay!

Shame we can't use it though, Mark and I are solely looking after our girls and unless one of you volunteers to babysit then the tickets will go to waste. And we don't want that to happen now do we?

Since it's my birthday next week, I'm giving away the tickets to 1 lucky *winner. 

Simple mechanics. Just 'like' the link I will post on facebook then Holly and Isla will help me pick the winner and will announce it tomorrow, 31st Jan 2013 at 8pm.
Easy peasy! Good luck!
