true spirit

 

It only seemed like yesterday when I had to watch her every move on the playground as she navigated her way around.  These days she is becomming more daring and independent guided by her adventurous and uninhibited spirit.  How lucky am I to witness her learning to fly. 

winter

You could call it 'old age' but this chilly, windy weather makes my bones ache.
Motivated to get warm, I visited my local health food shop for some natural remedies including warming herbal teas and some nourishing creams for dry skin.  These are just some little things a busy mama of three can enjoy during these windy, wintery days. 

motherhood...some daze

Today's blog was going to be about looking forward to the new month, however, upon reflection...I find myself asking... where did June go? I came to this realisation yesterday when I discovered that the 'deodorant' I thought I was using (for who knows how many days/weeks) was not actually deodorant but something else (hhhhemm)! OMG!

One could consider this to be an easy mistake to make considering the bottles are almost the same in shape, size and colour.  Ooops!

Have you ever had a mama moment like this?

together

On the last day of the month we enjoyed the day with our very good friends.  Last night we made pesto pasta, crispy chicken strips and salad.  It is just what good friends do...talk, laugh and spend time in the kitchen together. 

 

this moment

A ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find and see.  From: soulemama

birthday

It was a short day trip to the city to wish my baby sister a Happy Birthday. 
You will always be my baby sister and the best aunty in the world to three little people.  Happy Birthday xoxox.

back to reality

Well there really is very little time to rest these days being a mama of three under four.  I know I am my own worst enemy at times.  I stayed up late last night to catch up on reading some blogs and posted my own and then the sound of a hungry babe crying called at midnight.  This morning I also resisted the urge to go back to sleep after another morning feed at 4.30am. I used the time to catch up on some general household chores in silence; folding, ironing, sorting, tidying, washing.  At least I know I am somewhat more organised to start the day.  Later, I am looking forward to catching up with some other mamas for coffee at our local library.
