What a week! As we prepare to embark on a week of holiday (or adventure as I now call it) for our little fam of four; to connect, adventure and soak up some family time, I’ve been parenting and holding space for all the feelings.

The boys are (for now) playing contently outside. I can see them back and forth to the shed. They are playing “construction” which basically means they are slowly emptying the contents of my husband’s shed and taking it to their cubby area, and without doubt, when it falls apart, because nine times out of ten it does, (it only takes one to decide they’re done with the game), none of these items will be retuned!!

IAn idea has been brewing... I’ve been wanting a way to connect with you on a more personal level. A way to connect in with my purpose and passion, to share the stories and realities of what it’s like for me parenting two wildly unique boys, choosing a path of life learning, tending to my own needs alongside theirs, all whilst honouring their varied and sometimes challenging to be with emotional expressions.

It’s always a challenge meeting everyone’s needs, mine alongside theirs, but something I continue to dance with is knowing that when I’m taking care of me, I’m taking better care of them.
