When it’s not a rainbows and unicorns kind of day,
take a big breath and then slowly exhale
take the kids to the park
climb trees
sit in the grass, ground yourself
slowly crochet, slowly
smile at the wobbly teeth, and then at the gaps that followed
love the fact that the water draws her in
laugh in that tiny moment, because it was there, and it felt good
exhale slowly and remember
there will always be tomorrow.

As someone whose children (two of them) are now approaching independence and adulthood, I can totally appreciate the images you take of your children. How you captivate them is just so stunning, Brydie and I only wish I’d taken something similar of my children. They do grow up ever so quickly xx

They do CL, they really do. We’re lucky we live in a digital age and I can effortlessly store all those pics, otherwise sheesh, the negatives and photos would be building up…(and thank you! xx)

Some days suck. Its the nature of the beast, but when they pass you get that amazing chance to have a fantastic day…the contrast gives it the edge. Note to self…”buy more wool for when it sucks”…I tend to read on sucky days. A great way to emerge out of the other side enriched and filled with possibilities. Some days you need a paper bag to breathe. I think the race to the Christmas finish line has most of us hyperventilating at the moment. Good to see bloggers posting messages of calm 🙂

Great words for me this week Brydie. We are in the middle of a crazy end of school week; swimming lessons, presentation afternoons, orientations, secret santas and the list goes on. I will remember to exhale occasionally!

Ahhh. You’ve reminded me to photograph my 6 year olds’ beautiful gappy smile! Second child has far too few photos of his gorgeousness. Lovely post.
