WORLD OF WONDER IS NO MORE

Just wanted to let all my followers know that I have moved as no one seems to be getting my feeds... I set up a new blog, please please rejoin me at http://pixiesmusings.blogspot.com

It's the most Wonderful Time...

I am sooooooooo excited Christmas i just around the corner and I love christmas, it's my favourite holiday!  I am like a child in a candy store come Christmas, I am the one in my house who is up listening for the clatter of the raindeers on the roof, so I can get up and open my presents that Santa left!  I am 31 years old and  I am still very much a believer in Father Christmas, I am honestly lol.

It's the magic that I truely fall for every year! Now I have children and they are at the ages where they are understanding all about Christmas, it makes the magic more alive, for we are not a family that spend spend spend on this holiday, for us its about the quality of time we get together, we will be taking the boys to see a department store santa this year, this will be the first time we have done this as the boys are 2 and 3 years old so they are all for the magic this year.

We do have a great gift for the boys who seem to be aspiring chefs lol.....we are buying them a toy kitchen complete with pots, pan, utensils, plates, food, oven you name it!  They have been going to a particular toy store throughout the year to play with it, so to come down on christmas morning to find Santa has left them this will be completely amazing.

Kobi my 3 year old son, has bagged himself a part in the school play as an Elf!!!!!!  The play is next Monday (7th) I can not wait to see him in his costume he's so excited, and singing songs from the play, admittedly its one line from one song but he's so impressed lol He even has a line to say "HO HO HO Merry Christmas" its at the end his line, he's part of santa's crew apparently, I cant wait!

I have been working with my Tarot alot recently and have felt a connection to these cards, more than any other and it seems that my readings are alot more accurate too!  I'm using the Mystic Faerie Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft they are not only designed by the artist herself they are truely beautiful cards, and so easy to understand.

Whatelse have I been up to?  Oh yes I am redesigning my altar I have not been happy with it since the summer months now so hopefully before Yule it will be sorted and looking just like I have wanted it to for such a long time. 

I am still ill as I write this the snot has dried but I am left with hardly any voice, and a cough that any barking dog would be proud of lol....oh well best dash, just going to settle in for the evening, snuggled on the sofa, boys in bed and I'm going to watch Mamma Mia on the movie channel!  Have fun Folks..till next time, stay safe, and thanks for dropping by! xx

Just one last thing....what are your plans for Yule?

The Witch I Am

I am an Eclectic Pagan Witch - and yet of recent months I have felt so far away spiritually from that sentance I was begining to wonder if I was anything other than a sick person with plenty of snot and a wife and mom!

I got my mojo back these last few days, I have been reading through some of my spell books, and reading in particular spells that I have done that have worked out very well for me indeed.  Just reading those old books back got me to thinking how far I have come on my journey.  I love being a witch, I love casting spells, celebrating the sabbats, honoring my goddess and just appreciating that everything happens for the greater good!  Oh and I almost forgot...it doesn't get any better than actually being able to fly around on your broomstick lol.

I am really proud to be me, I am actually finally acheiving the things I've had on my 'to do' list for years!  I am finally loosing weight, and let me tell you......I have actual shape again!  Two pregnancies in two years, infact when my first born was 3 months old I was pregnant again with my second lol Yes we planned it that way! But I hadn't realised the toll that would take on my body!  We won't have any more children but that's by the by, I am actually getting alot out of the exercise routine I am doing, on top of that I have the school run with in total takes an hour a day 15 minutes there 15 minutes back there and back!!!!!  I can actually notice that my body is changing and for the better, my boobs are getting smaller....YAY. When I first met my hubby I had really nice sized boobs but I always wanted bigger, now they are bigger I want my pre pregnancy boobs back lol.

I am drawing my butt off, I love art and it's become my passion, I am learning as I go but I love it and I hope it will take me far (thats a dream but for now it's a passion).

I feel like after 31 years of being on this planet I have finally reached a stage in my life where I have stopped and looked back to assess what I have now!  Jees I feel like the luckiest person alive, I have a great husband, two amazing children, great friends, who could ask for more.

Not so long ago I would have looked at my life and wondered what I had acheived, now I am lucky enough to see exactly what I have, and where I want to go to.  I feel like whilst I haven't always been dealt the easiest of hands, I have tried to learn my lessons along the way, this year was particularly tough for me as an individual and as a family, but if I hadn't had those 'tests' I wouldn't be who I am now and I'm kinda getting used to who I am right now, and more importantly I'm liking it.

My son has started nursery school, he's 3 years old and he is so excited every morning about getting up and going to school, I remember being like that too, in the past two weeks he has come home with gold stars on his jumper for being a really good boy and I love that, I am so proud of him, he made me realise it's really not about the things you buy for the ones you love, it's how you appreciate them every day.  Something so simple like a gold coloured star sticker made his week, he knew it meant he had been a really good boy in school that day.  As adults I think somewhere along the way we can forget to appreciate those around us or life gets in the way and we forget to make a call to a friend we haven't spoken to in such a long time.....so I give all of you reading this a gold star, for stopping by and reading my blog, I appreciate each and every one of you.

Illness

Funny isn't it, my last few posts are of me apologising for not posting much!!!!!  Here we go again..... I have been sooooooo ill I've got flu! It's making me feel yuk, but as we are busy at the moment through the business Im still walking the boy to school twice a day but the weather is terrible, gale force winds and rain!  Looking on the bright side it's getting the weight off lol, I'm trying to exercise as much as I can and I'm eating well which I am really enjoying, I am proud to say I havemt had a bar of chocolate for over a month now which is such an acheivement for me, nor have I had a fizzy drink like coke for the same amount of time.  But as proud as I am Im gutted that I am so Ill and I haven't been able to do my usual workout for nearly a week.  I ache in places I never thought possible.  On the plus side though it's not swine flu, just regualr flu.

My son is loving nursery school and his teachers love him which is very warming to know, his teacher today said 'i love him he's brilliant' so he must be doing something right, and he love's going everyday, this frieday they are baking biscuits as its the children in need charity so they will sell the biscuits and donate the proceeds - told the teachers to beward if some go missing as they may just end up in kobi's tummy lol

Well, I'm heading off to have a bath with some essential oils and hubby had promised to look after me this evening...I'm so lucky, the boys are in bed and I'm going to lye on the sofa and watch tv!  I promise my next post will be more exciting lol!  Thanks for staying as I recover though it means a lot xx

First Days!

Today was a biggie in our house, as it was my 3 year olds first day of nursery school.  As a parent no one can ever prepare you for the feeling that you get when, for the first time you drop them off at nursery school.

He was only there for the morning today, when I went to pick him up he was sooo happy to see me, the teacher said he had no problems that he took part in all the activities and he had fun.  Kobi hasn't stopped talking about it, how he played in the toy cars, in the sand pit, he read books, sang songs and made new friends, I am so proud of him, and equally proud of me as I thought I was going to blub all over him at the school, but I held it together......his daddy and brother on the other hand are a different story lol.

I loved school and I think he may take after me, he's such a friendly little boy, and has such a sweet personality I hope he will continue to enjoy everyday as much as he has today, he's only doing mornings until he's 4 when he can then start full time school.  Here's a picture of him in his uniform just before setting off to school. What do you rmeember from your first days of school?

All Hallows Eve

Hi Everyone,

I've not been on much recently, due to frustration of not being able to find a blog skin that I liked or liked and would work! It seems to have taken me weeks to find one, then today I found this!  It's called Halloween Party and I love it, the colours are great and I just love the witch dancing under the tree in the moon light, reminds me of me, not that I get the opportunity to dance under a tree in the moonlight but thats only because there are no trees in my garden!

Anyhoo last night I had a wonderful time, I did a private ritual for those we lost this year and to remember those that had past in previous years.  I lit my candle, and my pumpkin (this was the first time in my life I have ever carved a pumkin, I had soooo much fun) and just felt at peace.  Here's a picture of my pumpkin and candle.

Today feels all fresh and new and rather than worrying about things that are out of my control, I have decided to change the things that I can control, I am happy to report that I have lost a stone already on my new diet and exercise plan and I feel great, I have a long way to go but I feel fantastic and my confidence is slowly coming back.

I'm eating great food, soups mainly because I have the home made soup bug and so there's been so much soup made in the last week or so it's gonna be on the menu for a while, but that's ok too cause my children LOVE soup esp pumpkin soup.

I have a picture to share with you of my son Kobi who turned 3 years old on the 29th playing with one of his toys lol he's such a sweetie.

Tomorrow is my other son's birhday, Logan will be 2 tomorrow so I'd best be off, baking his cake, he wants a chocolate caterpillar!  Oh and a trip to the sealife centre.....at least his presents are wrapped ready for him when he wakes up!  Can't wait for Christmas with them this year, they are at the perfect ages to understand whats happening!

Happy Birthday

Ok, so yesterday was my son's 3rd Birthday, and my gosh he was completely spoiled, but he had so much fun.  In the morning over breakfast I asked him what he would like to do on his birthday and he thought long and hard about it and revealed what he'd like to do "Mummy can we go to the park" "the park" I replied, a little suprised, "but we can go to the park anytime Kobi" to which he replied "I know that Mummy but I have so much fun at the park and Logan (his younger brother) can play too" "OK, we  can go to the park"

They had a blast on the swings, down the slide, the climbing frame you name it they did it.

So I turned to ask Logan what he would like to do on his birthday which is on Monday and he will be 2 "I want to go to the sealife centre please mummy" ok I thought I guess I know who will want the more extravegant birthdays then lol
