This is where I am, and where I have been for the last 3 years. He has to be my greatest inspiration and motivation. And there is nothing more important than a cuddle with my boy. xxx

Gratitude #1
Today was a hard day.
I am grateful for the compassion my son shows to his family. Its so innate and wonderful.
I am grateful that Pro-dad chooses to leave work as early as he possibly can to come to us, every day.
I am grateful that my friend is on the same wave length as me and that we can chat effortlessly.
I am grateful that I can so easily connect with my friends all over the world; catch up with old friends, chat with present friends, and embark on new friendships...
I am grateful that little belle always has a smile for me, no matter what. ❤

Walk Outside...
Im doing a course with Awesomely Awake called the Abundant Mama Project. It is about finding magic in our lives; practising gratitude for the small and wonderful things in our life... Its also a writing course, so I am using this space to write...
Walk Outside
Everyday I walk outside with my wonder child happily snuggled in his pushchair for his midday snooze and Little Belle cuddled up in the sling, sometimes sleeping, sometimes gazing... We go out regardless of the weather because life without a nap for wonder child is not so wonderful.
Today it was raining; it was that constant rain, not drizzle, bigger than drizzle, the type that plops happily into concentric circles all around you, and if you only look at the ground and not at the falling rain it looks like lots of little raindrops dancing to the same beat, but all listening to the music in their own set of headphones... It felt like nutritious, purposeful rain. Its November so it wasn't the warm kind of rain that you can smell, but not the scathing cold rain of winter either. It was not especially unpleasant even though I was getting quite wet. It was poetic rain, but not in a sad way. The clouds were not thick so the sun was translucently seeping through a little; adding contrast to the grey, casting subtle shadows here and there, and glistening occasionally on the wet road.
It was hopeful weather; it will be sunny tomorrow. We will go to the beach.
Little Belle was peeping out of her covers contentedly engaged with the world. Wonder was asleep.

To start with...
.... 'we' are four; a family, living on an island.
I am the mummy, the 'wife' (not quite tho), the home-maker, the writer, the artist.
Pro-Dad, is my ever enduring partner in parenthood and reluctant but knowing love of my life.
Wonderchild is our son - almost three years old (as of Nov '12). He is indeed a wonder - wonderful of course, makes us wonder a lot - about our sanity, parenting skills and quite where he came from... and he does himself wonder about many things with intelligence, vocabulary and compassion far greater than his years. These together with big feelings and enormous energy he is a huge presence in our home and he is a magnet for love and adoration of others. I could write for hours about our Wonderchild... he blazes in my heart and mind constantly.
Little Belle is our daughter (8 months as of now). She is growing so fast (dont you notice it so much more with your second?) She is a happy, joyful and beautiful girl with so much hair and big blue mischievous (heartbreakig as a teen Im sure of it) eyes. She likes simple things; smiles, cuddles and things to hold, and she loves her brother - especially when he laughs. She brightens up the room and our lives.
We are a close, quiet, and blessed family, and we are living, the best way we know how. :)
