30 Day Challenge_13_Belief

There are so many ways to express my belief. But I have had a lot on my plate this week and while doing the dishes, of all things, I looked out of the window and this was what I saw!

Beautiful nearly night sky...
It just made me think about this amazing God that I serve. Who alone can create this beautiful sky. Who holds the world in the palm of his hand. Who I totally could never live without!

30 Day Challenge_12_Letters

I have had this sheet of craft paper for a few years now. But I just love it way too much to use it or part with it. I have jars full of #letters, I have hand written letters... but this this shot was my favourite of the ones I took.

30 Day Challenge_11_Memories

For the past few weeks I have been organizing my mum's 60th birthday together with my sisters. As I have boys I will never get to plan a girly party... so I thought here is my chance. My mum has so many favourite colours. When I asked her what her favourite colour was she said Oh I love Autumn colours. So yep you can imagine! It was good fun though thinking I was going to spend forever making pom poms in her favourite colours I found some that were ready made.

I took a stash of my mums photo albums home one day and scanned way to many photos to create this memory 60th board for her. She only realized that it was a 60 made up of photos when she got really close to it and of course she had tears in her eyes. Was a lot of crazy fun creating it!

30 Day Challenge_10_Frozen

For dinner tonight I was going to create something with veges and bacon. The bacon came out of the freezer and I usually #freeze it when we buy it. Four slices in Glad baggies, only because we never eat the whole lot in one go. Anyways when I defrosted the bacon and bit I opened the bag and tried to get rid of the ice surrounding it... cause no one wants to eat soggy bacon... this is what it looked like. This layers of ice. I loved it!

30 Day Challenge_9_Unique

I am lucky to get to spend every Monday with my mum on her day off. In a sense she loves it more cause she gets to see the boys. And she is totally zonked every Monday after Levi has instructed her on what game they will be playing next. Fun part for Levi is baking these yummy biscuits with Nana most Mondays. We always buy them for him from a coffee shop in the mall when we go there. But mum decided to buy the gingerbread man cookie cutter and make her own. He absolutely loves them! I know for sure each cookie is totally #unique. :)

Notice the missing arms... Levi helped himself to the arms when the cookies
were still on the cooling rack!

#unique little guys

30 Day Challenge_8_Ripe

Heheheehehhee if you know Levi he will have a banana for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I've been saving this banana on the kitchen bench for this shoot. While trying to take a picture of it on the dining room table, Levi kept getting his hand in the shot and all I hear is... I want to banana mum! So of course who doesn't care about eating a #ripe banana.... Just like his mummy. They taste so much sweeter that way!

#ripe banana

Totally made me laugh... my little monkey!

30 Day Challenge_7_Ouch

Well this is totally as sore as it looks. This I took the first night we were in hospital with Asher. Waitakere Hospital would not send us to Starship Children's Hospital until Asher had an IV in his leg or hand. They needed to put fluids in his system before we could leave. And crazy as it sounds no one could find a vein. I lost count of how many doctors had a turn trying to poke and prod his tiny body looking for a vein. After about an hour or so they gave in and decided to use this method... one of the doctors used a drill to rather get a needle into his bone because the vein just was not an option. The whole experience was traumatic for the little guy. Thank goodness he won't remember a thing. 

OUCH!
They did find a vein at Starship, thank goodness!
