C'est la vie!

A gift from a dear friend, which just happens to sum up perfectly the events of late!


Ah life!  Just when you think things are going okay, suddenly along comes a bump in the road!  We had a horrible health scare with my dear little son (age 8), but he is home from hospital now and doing much better, although I think hubby and I may have aged about 20 years during the whole event!

A get well card from one of my sons best friends - I had to put it on here as this little lass is well on her way to being a creative wonder like so many of the people in the great blogs I follow.  She made all the decorations herself!

So it was Mother's day here in New Zealand yesterday and we had an extremely low key one.  In fact we all stayed in our pyjama's all day (despite the odd visitor or two, he he!).  We cuddled on the sofa, watched old movies, ate some yummy baking that friends had bought round for us (I think there may be a plot to keep me cuddly!).

My new Mother's Day tea towels!

I just love these new tea towels, to the point where I really don't want to use them and ruin their prettiness!  Maybe I can just sneak them out for special occasions.




Does anyone else in blogland ever have trouble with pets that want to be in every photo?  My mad dog Max took great delight in messing up my pretty tea towel photo shoot!!!




Well I do hope all the Mothers out there have had a lovely special day.  Here's wishing you all a drama free, relaxing week.  Hubby and I have taken the day off work, little son is off school for awhile, while he recovers, so I am off now, back to cuddle on the sofa with the family :-)  Becks xxx

    Oh Becks, what a scary time. I hope your little boy is OK. There is absolutely nothing worse than our little ones being ill. We have had a couple of scares with Little Son over the years and luckily everything has been OK but it is so very worrying at the time. On a lighter note, Max is just so cute. I would like to give him a big kiss. I hope you have a gentle cosy week. Lily. xxx

      Thanks Lily. He fainted...his heart stopped briefly, but he is fine now. The doctors think it was a complication from the flu. I think I have aged 20 years though,lol! Thanks goodness for the humour pets provide - max is a wee devil. xxx

    Hello Becks I've just read your post and had to send you a comment right away, I'm SO, so glad that your little boy is on the mend, and I can only imagine how scary that must have been, what a terrible time for you all. I hope he feels better very soon and hopefully you can all breath again now he's on the mend! Hugs, Marina xx

    Thanks Marina you are such a sweetie. All is well now (knock on wood!). It was such a scary time. We are having a lovely week at home (off work and school) just vegging in our PJ's and watching telly/reading. Life sure can be a pickle! xxx

    Glad to hear your little boy is on the mend. I can't imagine how worried you must have been. I guess throughout their lives they run you through the mill. I think back to when I used to fake illness as a kid to get out of things... I must have worried my poor Mum sick! Unfortunately, we rarely see it from a mum's perspective until you become one yourself! Enjoy your snuggle time on the sofa with your little man and thank you for popping by and commenting! Lx

      Hey thanks - so glad you dropped by! I love your moniker - green thumb. I get such joy from my garden, but I am not sure I have a green thumb - I have had some major disasters, ha ha! Becks xxx

    The pictures of Max are so cute!
    You best get yourself some wrinkle cream & hair colour to help with the 20 years!!!

    Oh Becks I'm so sorry to hear about your son, and am super glad that he is feeling better - the best mothers day present I bet. Those tea towels are just so gorgeous. I don't blame you not wanting to use them. I have countless tea towels, including some beautiful old ones from my mother, which I just couldn't bear to mush up and use.

      Oh how wonderful to have something passed down to you from your Mum - I would love that! I really like the idea of women passing things down through the family to each other. I dont have many things like that, but do have a very old (I think over 100 years) iron ginger gem pan/tray, which I treasure. I hope your having a great weekend :-) Becks x
