I know this is a hectic few weeks for everybody, but, seriously, if you’re in a ‘ministry family’ it’s the “most dutiful time of the year…” (which has been known to put a bit of a dampener on proceedings!) Today, though, after a home-visit from some very dour JW’s who pointed out the “pagan” origins [...]

This morning, after covering PeanutM&M’s sweetcheeks with kisses, I watched with distress as he Wiped Them All Away with his hand… How Rude, I thought, rejecting my smackers in the manner of a grumpy teen. And How Sad that just a few blinks ago, he’d crawl to me, stretch up his pudgy arms and positively [...]

PeanutM&M is a character who majors in fun. If it’s not fun, he’s not interested. So, this week, when he prayed his first ever unprompted prayer, it was no surprise to find ‘fun’ as its central theme. A Peanut original that went something like this: Dear Jesus. Help me have fun at pre-school. Help me [...]

This morning I was woken (after 6!) by a beautifully smiley, Sweetiepie. The sun was streaming into my bedroom and I actually felt rested. When PeanutM&M surfaced, he was full of giggles. M&M took over the breakfast-regime so that I could have a lie-in, a peaceful shower and the opportunity to get dressed without being [...]
