time well spent

Elise asks us if we had any suggestions for a kit.
I said I would love one about time, how we spend it, the things that make up our days as women.
I have been so blessed by her awesome latest kit called: Time well spent.
It is available here at the digichick and is on sale for digital scrapbook day. (DSD)


My days seem to be filled with lots of busyness,
making school lunches, dishes, tidying the house, catching up on emails and blogging, watching the clock and making sure I won't be late to collect the children again. Just today I went with hubby for his X-rays. He was told to be nil per mouth from 10pm last night and even though he told me there was no anesthetic involved I thought I'd better go with just in case I needed to drive him home, because life happens you know?
Allowing my oldest to drive me to collect his siblings, that stressful time is a narrow period in our lives and I'd rather be potty training.
Deciding what to make for supper, grocery shopping, over seeing homework and free time in front of the pcs. Finishing the last few episodes of Heroes season 5.
All in a days work.
And my time, nothing better than curled up in bed, with a purring Siamese, soppy love story in hand and a mug of orange tea at the ready.

Thanks Elise, I love it.

Which one are you?

I am thankful to Kim Broedelet Graphics and Designs, Kim is a fellow South African and she blessed me by allowing me to create with some of her beautiful kits. She sells at ScrapMatters.




This one was esp fun for me to recall now that my oldest is 18 years old, finished school and learning to drive that once upon a time I wondered if he was a boy or a girl.

My journaling:

My breasts are tender, I feel ratty and bloated, the test is positive.
I am pregnant.
I am hopeful, excited but a little concerned and wary as well.
Will this be it, this pregnancy ending in a live, squirmy life changing baby?
If you’re a boy I love the names Joshua and Jonathan, for a girl Sarah or Hannah. I want to buy stuff, cuddly toys and décor items. Please let the doctor see, don’t be so shy. My first born, I really want a boy first, but if you’re a girl, I still want you. I want you, little one to feel loved and accepted regardless. But I want to know which will you be? Will my days be filled with toilet talk, dirt and noise or flowers, tea parties and emotional turmoil? Just a little peek, a little hint?
