I treasure the connections I make here on my blog. This very first photo was a gift, together with two beautiful necklaces with mostly orange in, (which is my favorite color) from the most amazing friend...she reaches out to everyone...her connections are real and she is there...right in front of you...holding your hands and listening with a smile and a tear. Tonight I offer her wings and tea. Love you xx
We've been really busy down here in the South of Africa..here is a little sneek peak into our lives the past few weeks...it's been busy. Today is officially my first day of holiday. In two days we leave for the east coast to have our very first Christmas, where my whole family is together.It would have been the first one in 6 years....and now my mom decided to go...(tear drops). I guess this is going to be a sad Christmas, but I believe we can still make it the most memorable one by being present and loving each other in every moment!
Made some gifts....i.love.it!!!
We bathed in a bucket in the bath, just because we can..teehee....
We had a Christmas party at school...yum!
something I did for myself...creating a memory tree on our fridge..

Peace-at-home
When I was 7 years old my mom gave me R2 to spend at the fair. I remember walking around the whole day with the R2 looking for something to buy for my mom. Right at the end of the day, I found a little plant, called 'Peace-at-home' and used all of the money to buy this for my mom. I remember thinking she will then know how much I love her, the same way she love plants.
After she passed over in August this year, I nearly tripped over this 'Peace-at-home' in the shop. It brought me to tears, because it instantly reminded me of my mom and how much I miss her. Little Peace-at-home is sitting in my kitchen, greeting me every morning over a cup of tea. It became like a morning routine...talking to my mom over a cup of tea, before I leave for the day. I like it like that.

Oh sweetie, how odd and hard it is for you, this first Christmas without your mom. I love your Peace-at-home ritual - I know she is paying attention from the other side.
I send you merry Christmas, and happy holidays, and hugs and thoughts and prayers, and please, ma'am, what is R2?

Can I give you a hug too? While I wipe away your tears?
You are going to have a wonderful Christmas with your family...and most especially with your darling little Kellen.
I love all the photos here, but oh my...the bucket in the tub is absolutely adorable!!!
Love to you my dear friend.
xoxo
much love beautiful you, xo
Happy accident, tripping over the peace-at-home. Your mom was tapping you on the shoulder. Glad you got through the first Christmas without her. Keep your family tight to you and don't ever forget her. xoxo
I currently have a 1993 camry and i was wondering how can I hook my iphone/ipod into the audio system to make the sound come out of the speakers.
