I am going to try and blog a bit more frequently rather than just use this as a placeholder for pregnancy and birth announcements! 😉 I had been reading through my archives and realised how wonderful it was that I had so many memories (and many cringeworthy) posts to look back on. I know blogging…
Another baby boy!
We are so excited to introduce you to our new baby boy – Benedict Joseph! We have another October baby! He was born at 7.35am, weighed 6lbs 5oz and was 19.25 inches long. Francis is the most amazing big brother and Benedict has settled into life in our home like he has been here forever!…
It’s happening again!
We are so excited to share some very happy news with you all! There is another Baby Blevins joining our family. We still cannot believe it! We are so excited! It has been a big year for us with a lot of ups and downs and this beautiful baby has been a wonderful surprise. Introducing……
Silky & Delish Chicken Tortilla Soup
We’ve never eaten at Tommy Bahama’s Restaurant before, so the original recipe title of Chicken Tortilla Soup (inspired by Tommy Bahama’s) really meant nothing to me. What did scream at me was a soup with one tablespoon of cumin in it. Any recipe with a tablespoon of cumin deserves a chance on our dinner table!…
Ranch Chicken – a new favourite!
Earlier this year, I set about to try and add some new meals to our meal planner. We do a lot of cooking, but during the week we tend to just rely on the same rotation of regular meals and I felt I was stuck in a bit of a rut. Of course, the first…
Two years on…
It has been two years since the worst day of our lives. I can still remember vivid things. The darkness of the ultrasound room. The heels clicking of the ‘doctor’ who gave us Josephine’s diagnosis. The heat outside. The cab ride home. My blue and white striped top I was wearing. The feeling that someone…
Introducing…

One Year…
Happy Birthday Josephine! It was one year ago yesterday that Josephine was born. It was also one year ago yesterday that Josephine passed away. The year has flown by and we have missed her and prayed to her every single day since. All of her girly things are in a beautiful memory box. We have…
Answered Prayers…
We realized very early on with Josephine just how blessed we were. We were given the job of bringing a precious little girl into the world with all the love and care we could. She had a purpose from the start. Lives were changed by this innocent little girl and we still talk about her…
An unexpected surprise…
This post is quite late as the past few weeks have been a whirlwind, but Josephine Martha arrived a little earlier than expected! She was born on December 12, 2013 at 1.49pm. With lots of kisses, hugs and so many repeats of “We love you Josephine!”, she became a saint in heaven at 3:11pm, while…
