Master Archie

Last Monday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed their first child!

Harry and Meghan's son was born on the morning of 6th May and his birth was announced on all the royal family's official social media platforms, including the Sussex's Instagram.

As with all royal births, a framed notice was placed on a ceremonial easel outside Buckingham Palace. The notice read, The Queen and the Royal Family are delighted at the news that Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex was safely delivered of a son at 0526am today. Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well.

I have always wondered why these official notices say "was safely delivered of a son" when they could just say "has given birth to a son" or something along those lines. I searched the internet for the meaning of that phrase and was safely delivered of means to disburden or relieve a woman of the foetus. 

Harry and Meghan have named their son Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. A lot of people were expecting a more traditional or historical name and were surprised by this but I like the mix of tradition and modernity in it. Archie Harrison is modern and Mountbatten-Windsor is the surname used by some of the male descendants of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. The Duke and Duchess have chosen not to give their son a title because they want him to grow up experiencing a normal childhood so he will be known as Master Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.

Two days later, Harry and Meghan made their first public appearance with their newborn at Windsor Castle. Harry walked out holding the baby which I think was a nice change because we always see the mother holding the baby first. He cradled him in his arms and Meghan placed her hand lovingly on his head as they answered a few questions from the media. Meghan looked so beautiful and, in my opinion, natural. Absolutely love the dress she was wearing.

What a cute little family they are. Congratulations to them! 

Harry, Meghan and Archie

Welcome back Justice Crew!

                                           Photo credit to @Justicecrewofficial Instagram Justice Crew are a dance and music group who won Australia's Got Talent in 2010 and went on to release many amazing songs including number one hits Boom Boom and Que Sera . After their tour in 2019, they took a long break and now they are back!  I have been a huge fan of them since the beginning and have been to a lot of their shows, so when they announced they were performing a show in February, of course I was excited and attended with my friend. There was a huge crowd there to see them, which surprised a few people, including maybe the guys themselves. After six years, they probably felt rusty, but they were actually amazing as always. It was so cool to see them on stage again and here all the hit songs the number ones and  Everybody. It's so crazy how even now, after six year...

Light in the Darkness

  We all carry a little darkness. Moments we don’t speak of. Storms We face. Shadows we walk through quietly.   But that doesn’t mean our light is gone.   Even on heavy days, when it feels like someone has punched us in the chest, or everything feels hopeless. We work. We care. We laugh. We create. We shine, like the brightest star in the sky.   No matter what happens today – even if it’s messy, or lonely, or full of tears - The sun will rise in the morning. Like it always does. Like we always do.   Because light doesn’t have to shout. Sometimes it just keeps showing up, quietly. One bright beam at a time.

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...
