GRATEFUL









This afternoon the sea was big and the air was misty with salt. We watched the surfers brave the large swell from over the cliff tops. I kept trying to catch a photograph of my son but he is very elusive these days, chasing a footy or quickly side stepping the camera in a fit of laughter. This afternoon Matty was home and we soaked up every last second of golden rays as the sun slowly sunk away and eventually disappeared below the horizon.

WELCOME SPRING


A transition happened today, people were splaying out their egyptian towels and waxing their boards on the beach without a wetsuit. Warmth blew across the seas todays and the water was unbelievably inviting. The heaviness of winter lifted and the timing was perfect. This year has been exciting and full of changes, I have been through some personal struggles which have cast a slight darkness on some of my days, but I have been learning to let go and transition forwards and I feel as though Spring has come at perfect timing. Today I met up with a friend and we both soaked up the fresh salty air and some sunshine while our babes sat happily in their strollers chewing on their teething toys. Afterwards, I took off to do the school pick up and on the way I was in a thought bubble of what to cook for dinner tonight. But I found myself thinking about dessert instead. Arriving home with my kids and two bottles of fresh cream and a jar of Bonne Maman caramel spread, I got to work making some "No churn condensed milk ice-cream" which I spied here. This recipe had me at condensed milk. It's currently in the freezer, freezing - so I will post photographs of my efforts tomorrow. Tomorrow I will celebrate the coming of spring with ice-cream at breakfast.

How will you be celebrating the coming of Spring this week?

YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE


It is Winter right now and the sun has been shining for days on end. I spent this particular sunny day with this gorgeous mama and her son and we basked in the warmth of the front room which was flooded with sunshine. In between the words of our conversation I could see her hazily stare at her son, you know the kind of look, the type where you know that for a split second they are transcended into another time or place and perhaps they are imagining the joys that the future is going to bring as their baby progresses through the wonder years and into adulthood. It was a perfect kind of day for daydreaming and as I left I couldn't help but feel whimsical in the warm winter sun.

OUR SLICE OF SUNSHINE

I am obsessed with the pizza slice of sunshine that carves itself into our living room during the afternoons.

AFTER SCHOOL


Wintery afternoons have been filled with lots of sunshine and lately we have been ditching the after school homework routine for a play in the park instead, and today it was the perfect way to celebrate the end of term.
