well, i'm actually feeling quite exhausted these days. i have a cold. jasper, my two year old has a cold. and there is a new little life inside me! i'm pregnant!! i'm so happy and exhausted! oh motherhood! no wonder i'm working on this new picture story book.
so, here are some words...on motherhood:
motherhood...is life undone and slowly threaded together again.
motherhood...is being tugged on, wrapped around and climbed all over.
motherhood...makes me want for a simpler life that mostly revolves around the kitchen table.
motherhood...helps hidden dreams come into plans for adventure.
motherhood...is a journey that doesn't lend itself to perfectionism.
hope you're keeping well; eating stews, casseroles and broth...(mine's coming from a take away restaurant tonight)

Love your space. Congratulations!! I am due in a couple months- the pregnancy has flown by second time around so enjoy every moment while you can. Even though it's so difficult in the first trimester. I was so sick and tired, so I feel for you. Hope colour comes back soon. xo m.
