Mothers Day Breakfast at Pre-school

This morning, Eden's school hosted a Mother's Day breakfast.

It was so cute. It started off with the us Mother's sitting in our children's class, and receiving a big welcome form the teacher and the kiddies.

The Little ones sat on our laps and sang songs like "The Wheels on the Bus", "Twinkle Little Star" etc. One little boy felt the need to sing Happy Birthday to all the Mothers without being prompted to do so. So Sweet!

We then received a present. A mug which contained some ingredients to make our own little "Cake in a Cup". We also received some coupons for Free Hugs etc, which the children had coloured in themselves.

My little one was such a proud little girl, kept trying to show me all the things in her class and trying to keep up with all the songs. She practically clapped for everything.

We were treated to a nice healthy breakfast which consisted of yoghurt, fresh fruit salad, muesli and muffins. Which we then ate along with our kids who were eating breakfast.



Eden and I sharing our breakfast - I was busy eating when this was taken so excuse the awkward face


It was such a nice way to start a Friday. I get the feeling I will be  a very spoilt Mom this Mother's day.

On the Brink of Greatness

My last post was somewhat of a venting session, but I don’t regret it. Always better to get those thoughts out before they make you explode.

Since then, we have been through more drama and upheaval and I did not want to write about it. I would prefer to write about the good things and focus on those.

So here goes the latest update...

We had to move, for various reasons, but I think it was something that was needed, almost like a little push form the Universe. My father thankfully allowed us to move in to a cottage on his property and we have fixed it up abit and its starting to look nice (apart from all the clutter that we still need to sort). I see this as being temporary as we will hopefully be moving into a bigger place soon. At least for now, while we are sorting out things, we won’t have to worry about rent. It will also be nice to get to spend that time with my Dad.

My husband has now started his own business. He seems so much more relaxed and there are less 'things' stressing and upsetting him. It was rough seeing him go through the stress he did a short while back. Its amazing how one person or a particular situation can affect someone else like that. Thankfully his 'trigger' is now gone and he seems to be so much Happier. I am so excited that he will be his own boss and I have full faith in him that he will succeed!

I am in the process of trying to register for a bachelor degree. I was previously registered for a degree in Consumer Science specialising in Clothing Management. But after the hijacking and Ryan passing away, I studies slipped and I was unable to continue. I was also disheartened abit by the subjects, Economics and Accounting were failed miserably and I just didn’t feel I could do it. But now, I feel alot more motivated and found out that Unisa is offering another degree in Fashion Retail Management. They have told me that I will be able to register and that I can hopefully carry over some credits from my previous degree. This new degree does not contain any accounting or economics and instead focus' more on the fashion industry and textiles and clothing history. It is definitely more up my alley... Let’s hold thumbs that I will be able to register without any issues and start studying again. I think it will also give me something to do, so that I don’t feel so idle the whole time.

So as the post heading states, we are definitely on the Brink of Greatness as a family and with regards to the endeavours that we are currently taking. At the end of the day, we have to make it work because we are doing this all so that our gorgeous princess, Eden, can have everything she will ever need and that includes, happy parents

I have absolute faith that we will get through this rough patch and make it out more successful and even happier.
