My nest

I am a homebody I always have been and most probably always will be. I love the feeling of being at home in my house. I love knowing that when I close my door after a long day that This SPACE is mine and nothing can harm me, nothing can upset me without my consent and nothing can get in the way of my solace. Home should be a place of rest, of tranquility, of love, and of peace. It should be a family place that encourages growth and happiness. It should be a place of worship and a place of honour and true love. I think that no matter what you live in as long as you have these things then your house will become a home with time. We were blessed to find our house and to feel at home in it instantly.  I believe that a home is somewhere that you kick your shoes and socks off, you grab your brew whatever it is that you drink, and you make yourself at home. If you want to watch tv then please feel free, if you want to lay down and rest go ahead, if you want to go toodle about in the garden it is a safe garden with life growing inside of it...I don't have many rules in my home I believe that people take more time to fix then things and things tend to be replaceable friendships aren't.  If you spill/break or damage something depending on what it is I am not going to go ape at you I will just shrug and take it as a lesson learned and then giggle when we discuss it later over wine :) a home is about people, it's about friendship and it's about keeping things real. I also have an honesty rule in my home...you are entitled to your opinion but please give me the curtesy and respect I deserve by telling me the truth and don't lie to me.  Also a simple one is before bed I lay a hand on Maggie's door and pray a hedge of protection around her and the rest of the house. It is just my thing...you know?  One very important and last rule is Be Yourself.....I hate people coming into my home and trying to pass themselves off as something they aren't. I don't care who you are at work, what you earn and where you are from....I care about you as a person and you as a human being....not a human doing :) I have been contemplating home alot recently and these are my thoughts so far. I am sure there will be more eventually! xx

I'm back!

So I finally have my internet back and I am so blessed! I have really missed it! I have gotten so into blogging and finding my emotions through it. It is something that I find really helps me. I know alot of it is not the most mature mind altering content but it doesnt need to be it is what makes me tick. And we know that I am not the most mature mind altering person lol :) BUT nonetheless I am back. I do need to go and get my darling angel of a baby up out of bed though so I will post more tonight with photos and everything! Hope everyone is well and healthy.
Love,

Moving :)

Moving in has been such a stressful frustrating time for me! I am not allowed to clean as the products are too strong and the fumes would harm me and the baby, I can't lift, and I can't stand on ladders :( I also can't lift plant pots around or be out in the sun bending over for too long. I feel like a 15th century pregnant royal....And I am so frustrated!!!!!! I was so grateful for her help but so glad to finally have Freda go home and I could go and enjoy my kitchen/bedroom/bathroom on my own terms and not have to listen to opinions. I am very particular and want things a very certain way in my own home. Anyone would....ohhhh and don't get me started on the black garbage bags that got filled with all of Maggies clothes when I was told specificly not to pack them as they would be taken over in their drawers as they were....I had to spend hours to sort out 0-24months worth of clothes I was absolutley spitting mad. AND the same happened with my clothes and then was told I had far too much underwear....what the heck???? First why were you in my underwear drawer and secondly why the hell is it any of your opinion???? I happen to like underwear...who doesn't?? Anyways it was more than generous of them to come down and help them move and they helped get our garden into a beatiful resting place where all my veggies are growing happily and my flowers are starting to poke through. My couches are being delivered tomorow and I am so excited about them, can't wait to have really nice furniture for once. Our bedroom looks amazing I just need to get that photo of steve and I's silouette blown up to go above the fireplace in our bedroom and some words printed somewhere...thinking of the lovey quotes from the belvediere site I think??? Anyways we will get there sooner or later. Steve is happy as a clam in his new abode and Maggie is settling in as best as can be expected. She has had a few sleeplesss nights but is teething as well which doesnt help. Oh the bump is growing so much! I was looking at some pictures of when I was pregnant with Maggie and at 20ish weeks I was half the size that I am now at 17 weeks. So I am taking this as a good sign. I also cannot stop eating! And I can drink coffee now :) YAY! So life is starting to feel good. I am a bit afraid to relax into it though because so much has gone wrong I just keep waiting for some sort of upheaval to happen.....I am sure it is just Satan trying to steal my joy but it is still so scary! Right I need to go as I am at the library and my time is almost up and and I need to go find my germ spray :) Love public spaces..........NOT! :( xoxoxoxox World!
