Those impromptu self portraits with my babies that I treasure so much. A third missing tooth. A brave and courageous kindergartener. A post family homework session. A child learning to read in two languages, pronouncing “me” perfectly depending on the language. A boy so little, and so big, all at the same time, with a highlighter drawn heart on his hand that matches mine - a lovely idea from a mama friend. A mama who misses them even when they are with me, and unbelievably when they aren’t. A period of time. A moment. A mama in love. ❤️
A mini pumpkin size tomato 🍅✨ a few weeks away from our final harvest, and though we’ll have a few weeks of fresh vegetables after, I’m going to miss going to the yard for these beauties. And the loveliest part, is all this wonderful growth fuelled by compost we had collected over the years. A healthy full circle. ❤️
The loveliest way to celebrate the first full week of school; spending it with my favourite people ✨ thank you @callingwoodmarketyeg for the lovely Night Market experience ✨✨✨✨✨✨
The view of my kitchen in this beautiful almost fall afternoon light deserves a spot on the feed ✨ it’s impossible not to be happy standing here.
And today, our baby’s first day of Kindergarten 😭❤️ so proud of my beautiful Oliver! So full of confidence and eagerness to go to school, he ran in and didn’t look back once. Like his sister, he took a flower for his teacher too, perhaps a yearly tradition now, and the way he says “Srta Olivia” 😍🥰 We adore you, our beautiful love ❤️
Evening lights and shadows, and everything I love most in the world dreaming✨I just finished cleaning my kitchen that has been a disaster all weekend but in the most wonderful way. A lot of dirty dishes means a lot of people were fed, and that feeling is wonderful. My babies went to bed easily after a busy day; Oliver was the cutest ball boy today while the adults played tennis, and we’re now in the age of parenting when we can start doing activities where the kids can just entertain themselves without us having to think about whether there will be something “for the kids” when we go out. Penelope has asked me when she is going back to school many times today, it warms my heart. She is enjoying it so much she can’t wait to go back. I listened to an episode of Red Table Talks, the one interviewing Salma Hayek, and she shared such a wise sentence I have to share it - “When you get stronger, you get the luxury of letting yourself feel everything”. What a brilliant way to view it. Feeling all the feelings is in fact a luxury, and it so completely is. As a sensitive person, I feel so much already, but this past week - back to school, the state of the world, the joy of spending time with loved ones, etc- going from tears (happy and sad ones) to laughter, and it can be so easy to be self critical about what one feels, but what a luxury to be strong enough to feel it all. Just some evening thoughts, and thanks Salma!
