“The most important thing she’d learned over the years was that there was no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one.” – Jill Churchill
The more I slow down, the more of these moments present themselves and the more of the million ways to be a good mother are revealed. What could possibly be better than that?

Posted at 20:08h, 08 AprilI love this post! I had a similar moment last night. My 7 year old daughter bought a lovely box of 120 crayola crayons, and I rediscovered the joy of colouring!
By the way, your new space looks lovely! It’s been awhile since I’ve been around.

Posted at 11:33h, 13 AprilHow apt is that sentiment, perfectly married with your image.
They grow up frighteningly fast and time seems to accelerate with every year that I am a mother. I hope that when my stewardship is over that I don’t look back with too many regrets at time ill spent and moments lost.
