Natalie Faith

 


I have a beautiful granddaughter who was born on Monday morning.

I am so very thankful for her.

Her name is Natalie Faith.

Because of COVID I couldn’t go to the hospital. My plan is to bring my mum to see her tomorrow. 




I bought this large candle last year and only lit it for the first time this week. 

It smells like peonies and the melted wax looks like a flower. It’s so pretty. 



I made this activity for my toddlers at work and they really liked it! Bubble wrap inside a zip-lock bag with primary coloured paint. Red and blue for purple, yellow and blue for green, and yellow and red for orange. I taped up the opening quite tightly!


We finally got some snow. It wasn’t very much but it looked pretty 

against all the old homes as I drove to work. 


I picked up the prettiest  potted mini daffodils at the market the other day.

They were so pretty I picked up a pot for my mum as well. 



Natalie Faith was born with a low birth weight. She also had to go under the bilirubin lights for 24 hours. 

She seems to be nursing well (every 3 hours) but if you are inclined I would ask for your prayers for her

And for my daughter. She has a 4 year old and a 2 year old and will be very busy. 

I would be very thankful.

Thankful Thursday

    Of course I will pray for her! I am the Prayer Lady at church, I manage our prayer line. Little Natalie is adorable! And I am glad there is a hand in the photo, so I can get an idea of her size. Keep us posted on how she is doing. Will her mom have any help? Does her dad work from home? I adore the blue house with the white picket fence! I bet the kids were overjoyed with the caft! And where did you find this candle?

    that's a really neat candle!
    Yay for newborns....but wow....yup, mama will have her hands full. Does the 4 year old go to preschool? that would help! :) Love the craft idea...we do something similar for our students with sensory issues. So fun!
    stay warm this weekend!

    Congratulations on your new granddaughter. she's gorgeous. I hope she's home by now and continuing to do well with her feeding. Yes your daughter will be busy - my elder two were not quite 2 & 4 when my youngest was born and it was hectic. I was lucky to have my Mum nearby who helped us a lot.

    Congratulations to your whole family on the birth of Natalie Faith. Yes, I will pray for her to thrive.
    I love that photo of the snow topped tree and the blue house in the background. It makes me want to repaint my house that color!

    What a precious baby girl! Congratulations to your whole family! I will pray for her and for Mom too. I've never smelt a peony candle before. I'm still burning my favorite from the winter scents. Snow does make things lovely looking!

First Snow

  Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Bonnie. She brings me so much joy. My first snow day of the year! I work at a Montessori school and we are getting our first big snow storm of the year so.... SNOW DAY!!  I made my own hummus last weekend. It was delicious. I added a little bit of turmeric along with the chickpeas, lemon, tahini, and garlic.  I plan on eating a more plant based diet this year. It's only been a week and I'm already feeling better. I did eat two slices of mushroom pizza last night and ended up having heartburn so it will be a good long time before I eat dairy again.  Each month one of our families brings in a bouquet of flowers.  We cut most of the stems off and place them on a tray which we place on the children's table.  We place another tray with a very small pitcher and a few very small bud vases.  The child fills up the pitcher using water from the bathroom sink, brings it back to the table and pours the water in a bud vase of their choosing.

Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

Image
  My daughter, Hannah's house is just so pretty. It's a large, Victorian era duplex with beautiful light. Some of the windows have been replaced but there are a few old leaded windows that are old and beautiful and the light is so soft that I am always taking pictures. This is an sweet old table that she picked up in her travels. She put some vintage Christmas ornaments in a terra cotta pot and next to that is a lemon tree plant. The whole thing sits under her kitchen windows. So pretty. My husband and I went to her house on Christmas morning. She served us delicious French toast and mimosas. ~  A friend of mine flew over Marblehead on her way home from vacation and had the wherewithal to take a photo.  It made me think of Oh Little Town of Bethlehem.  This year I was able to purchase a poinsettia through my church in honor of my mother. It was comforting to know that she was represented during the Christmas Eve Mass. I had a chance to rearrange the living room a little bit. I
