My Work

Andrew has been finding treasures on his woods' walks.  He has found THREE owl pellets which he is over the moon about.  The boy has eagle eyes in the woods.

The amphibian visits have begun- spring finally sprung.

Smoothie breakfasts replace scones...another sure sign.

fruit trees in bloom!  Sooooo exciting!

Once upon a time, I never would have dreamed of children dissecting owl pellets on my bed and being there, enjoying it all, with them.  I never would have known I would admire so many frogs, newts and creatures as I do every week (day!) now.  I never would have imagined all the laundry that children produce, how much food can disappear and how quickly, how many reprimands a child requires and how many infinitely more hugs and kisses are necessary for the proper raising of children.

I never would have imagined having so many moments of my life given up for the sake of the people who need me.

It is an exhausting life, this.  It is a busy job, motherhood.  But it is a spell-binding, wonder-filled, laugh-inducing, beautiful, amazing journey.  And so, so, so important.

Happy Mother's Day to all of you Mama's whose daily work it is to make home a haven for those people, big and little, who enter in.  

We are world changers....watch out!  ;-)
