Spoilt lady

It was a 37 year olds birthday in our home yesterday.  The 37 year old was woken at 6am to little happy birthday talkings but allowed to sleep for an extra half hour while the 6 year old made her card.  Phew for the older lady.  She was glad.

The card was made and was such a kind card.  It said 27!  Then it had an oops underneath it followed by the correct digits.  Very cute.

The small digited ladies of the house gave the more senior birthday girl this: 

The day continued as friends gathered for Strawberry cloud, shrunk chocolate mud cake and lemon creme (thank you Pip (ala Annabelle Langbein) and Bec for the recipes!).  Many pals met at our new place, for wine, chatting and fun.

All day she seemed to gather a line of presents around her, wherever she went.  She was feeling very thought of and very blessed.  parcels and texts from all over the country, world and from little Palmy Town too. 

Loved it, quite stress free really esp at Chrissy time.  So glad some lovely peeps could come out amongst the busy season to celebrate another year gained in the life of one person.


There were no parks in the couldersack where we live, i think the street got a fright as it's such a quiet wee street and then i go and throw a PARTY!

I will try  my best to tell people to celebrate their own age-turning.  But i kept wanting to pull out of this one, it felt like it was 'crazy-loco' with Chrissy approaching (no diff from any year i'm guessing!).  BUT so so glad i did it.  I was esp glad as I got to share  a wee bit with one of my beautiful guests, about how much God loves her.  What an honour, on an older ladies birthday!

37 - nearer to 40 than i've ever been.  Loving life and still not feeling old.  Just prob seeing it in my body! This week my mum was up and i had begun to feel slightly overwhelmed with being on my own and trying to do all the things that one needs to do with working and keeping house and caring for babes.  She encouraged me, bought us bk for dinner and i know she will be praying for me without her even saying.  My mum doesn't read this (as i've always kind of kept this as my personal diary), but I do wanna put it out there that she is very much the mum of the YEARS of my life.  Amazing woman.


The birthday continues - we're making our way down the island to the airport for tomorrow, visiting with some LIFE friends along the way.  What a special honour it is to do life with people.  New and old friends.  Appreciating that, all the 37 years of it.


Merry CHRISTmas.  May the wonder of God sending his son to earth, be fresh for you this year.  May you know Him more. Love me xx
