Hello there, I took a longer break than I expected
but then again I didn't expect to be so overwhelmed with how busy life has become.
We've had pet and show days...earthworks... building...Beekeeping lessons....worm farms started....
rock walls started.....an endless amount of seedlings planted, impromptu dinner parties.....the list goes on and on
And there doesn't seem to be a week that there isn't at least a couple of appointments thrown into the mix aswell.
Recent revelations about my little girl had shaken things up too
and threw me off track for a while.
and threw me off track for a while.
It's sent us down a different path than I imagined for her
But I feel like I'm nearly at peace with it.
These challenges that my children will face in life is not what I imagined for them and not what I would have chosen either
But one thing I do have the choice of, is creating a childhood which is fun, secure and loving.
This is why we moved here, to be closer to my mum, closer to nature and by pure chance we got to be part of a awesome neighbourhood to boot!
This is my life, its hectic, challenging, chaotic, but full with lots of fun moments which is just what I did imagine for my kids.
These are photos from today...with a little bit of rain this week we decided to have a dam christening mud slide party! We invited the neighbours.....but I think the idea of the clean up may have put them off.......clay everywhere!!!
No worries though, tonight they're coming over for our bonfire night.......bangers on the BBQ bangers in the sky and marshmallows toasting on the bonfire :)

Looks like awesome fun. You do amazing things with your kids.
Brilliant photos! You have a great attitude, your children are blessed to have you as their mum.
Life is never what we imagine, but it's how we deal with it that counts. You are blessed and wise, you have by giving unconditional love already given your children the only thing they need to succeed. There will be grief for the plans lost but joy for the new ones ahead.

Oh Laura, praying peace for you my friend. Man, your kiddies are so blessed to have you as a mother. You'er a mama-lion and I love how you fight for them x
Agreed - life is never what we imagine. But you guys are living your dreams and doing your best and you and your family are absolutely lovely. You are an awesome mum and your kids are lucky to have you. This looks like awesome fun and you are all making great memories xx
totally amazing photos! Thanks for linking in - if we got what we wanted for our kids they would live a sheltered life, never feeling hurt, pain, rejection or difficulty and that would leave them as children in the worst of ways forever - it's hard though. Thinking of you beautiful mama xxx
Loving catching up on your blog posts. These photos are amazing and so much crazy fun!!!!
