Where the Water Ebbs & Flows

For months we’d threatened to take a day trip to the beautiful Wilderness National Park, Ebb & Flow, but it wasn’t until a few Sundays ago that we actually did. Our whole family and friend spent a day walking in the forest and picnicking on the banks of the river. Mom and I packed a lovely lunch which everyone looked forward to during the walk! And the Lord really blessed us with amazing weather and clear skies. Not until we left at around 4:00pm did the clouds begin to fill the sky. By the time we arrived home, the first raindrops were falling. Fortunately Mom had made a yummy milk tart for us to enjoy with tea at home.

Have a blessed week further everyone!

A Bit of Christmas Eye Candy #5//Table Settings

This year we’re going for a simple and fresh garden-inspired theme for our Christmas dinner table. Mom, Nancy and I still need to put our thinking caps on as to how we’re going to bring everything together, but while we plan and decide and plan some more, here is a wonderful page full of festive table settings to inspire you...

You can look for some more ideas in the next week or so!

A Bit of Christmas Eye Candy #4//Beautiful Festive Bakes and Cakes

I love the smell of festive baking… Although I must admit that living in a country where Christmas falls in summer does prove to be a bit challenging when cooking and baking for the special Christmas Day dinner! My favourite treats of the season are most definitely mince pies, but I know that many people don’t enjoy them at all. But fortunately I’ve found some fabulous ideas for your Christmas kitchen that should satisfy every taste. And if you live where the snow falls and your fireside keeps you cozy and warm, think of all of us far away, sweltering under the December sun trying to ice Christmas cookies and decorate gingerbread houses!
