What are your favourite gifts for a first birthday?

Big or small, including stuff they'll grow into over the next year.

The Advent Frontier

Really enjoyed writing this piece for Faith in Business about what it might mean to model advent in our daily lives

Forget chocolate advent calendars, this book is the true highlight of advent for me.

Every December for the last 30 years, my godparents have sent me an advent candle.

I now do the same for my godchildren.

This year, for his first advent, my son has one too, gifted to him by his godmother.

Long may this tradition continue.

Many things about motherhood have surprised me but most surprising of all is that I now have an overwhelming desire to sneak frozen chopped spinach into every meal my child eats. Gotta get that sweet sweet iron.

Why are toddlers so busy all the time? They walk around like a businessman late for a very important meeting but their intended activity is to play with some recycling and lick the wall?? Make it make sense.
