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.

    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!

Abby and Hopie time

  ~ ~ ~ Abby and Hopie go to the beach. On Saturday my granddaughter, Abigail, asked if she could come to her Hopie's house all by herself. Of course, I said I would love that! Her older brother, Verne, wanted to go to a friend's house and her younger sister, Natalie, is too young to be away from mum for an overnighter. So...it was me and Abigail for the weekend. She wanted to stay 2 nights! I think she may have been slightly motivated by the need for some alone time and Natalie's late night crying. ~ We cooked homemade cornmeal waffles together for breakfast. When your grandmother is a Montessori teacher you learn to cut your waffles up by yourself. You can see the concentration on her face.  I didn't help at all! Verne's first day of Kindergarten! I drove up in the morning to watch him get on the bus! He loves it! On Monday morning Abigail and I drove back up to her house. My daughter, Hannah, came over with delicious donuts and Bonnie made a breakfast of bacon, s

a basket from the farmer's market

  A basket from the farmer's market. When I was a child my mum always had a fruit basket on the kitchen table.  Fruit was always an option if we were hungry at any time during the day. I had the same when my children were young and I noticed while visiting my daughter last week that she had a basket of apples on her table for her children. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... I tend to put a basket of vegetables on the table as well.  Root veggies mostly since they don't need to be refrigerated.  I think that they look beautiful and why should fruit have all the fun! My favourite part is that everything (even the basket) came from the local farmer's market. It's so important to support local farmers.

 ~ ~ ~ A bit of reading material.  I've been collecting books again... I've almost finished Think Indigenous.  My daughter bought it as a gift for me but decided to read it first. She loved it so much it took her a bit to part with it. I am loving it as much as she did and have put it down almost all the way through  because I don't want it to be over.  Macro tex
