Mother heart: The Strands of Me


It is time for one of my favourite days of the week here at Seven Cherubs ~ when I share a mother heart guest post. I so love connecting with other mothers and especially through blogs. This week for Mother heart we have Daneyl who loves cooking up a storm, playing the piano and reading any book she can get her hands on (my kind of lady!). She is also working on her 101 things in 1001 days and if any of you are able to help her out she would really appreciate it. Lets meet Daneyl:

ABOUT YOU: I'm Daneyl, I am 26 and was a Classical Singer, in a previous life. While I still love music, I find myself in the kitchen more than in front of the piano lately. I love reading and writing (and blogging!), Zumba and chasing my 18 month old son around the house!

YOUR FAMILY: My Hubby and I are proud parents to Noah, our full of beans 18 month old son. I am a stay at home Mum and loving it. We currently live in rural Queensland and are adjusting to life out here, away from family, friends and Woolworths.

MOTHER HEART: I think my Mother Heart moment would be the very first time I met my son. After a long and hard labour, I didn't get to hold Noah until the next morning. Watching him being wheeled into me is a memory I'll cherish forever. It's the moment I changed from me to Mum. My parenting is all about love and keeping Noah as happy as I can, although the 'Terrible Two's are starting early and about to test my parenting ability...!

GOALS: My parenting goals are to raise happy, healthy children. I want them to pursue their passion with the understanding that 'Anything is Possible'. I want them to achieve their dreams....and then pay for my retirement :)

BLOG: My blog is a personal blog about parenting, cooking and living in rural Queensland. I spend my time writing about what's going on in our lives. I am also a total book worm and hope to write a book one day. You can find my blog here at The strands of me. I would love you to drop by and visit.


Thanks for sharing a little of your heart with us Daneyl. You can read about how she keeps herself busy living in the middle of nowhere and how she survived Noah going to daycare. I hope you can drop by and show her some blog and comment love and help a mother out living in the outback.

  5. Oh what a gorgeous young man you have there! We have a Noah too and I think he's going to be just as blonde as yours when he gets bigger! Off to check out your blog!

  6. How lovely to find out a little about you, Daneyl. Noah looks such a treasure. Oh, and I've always found the 'terrible twos' refers to their second years - you don't have to wait until they turn 2 ☺. J x

  7. Oh, every time I read your Mother Heart posts, I think I must finish mine. All I need is some new photos. And that's the hard part (believe it or not)!

    But this is beautiful. And the fact that she has a Noah - she has fabulous taste!

    Off to visit her now!
