Amazing, challenging, exciting, sweet, tireing, hilerious, sobering....MOTHERHOOD



Adventure weekend round 2. Ryan has been wanting to do something else on Saturday other than the usual beach that we do E-V-E-R-Y Saturday :) He likes it but was needing a little adventure.

So this past weekend we took off spontaneously at about 4pm in the arvo and drove to Waimea, stopping for a little latte and snacks. We then drove up one of the most beautiful scenic roads I have ever been on. We stopped mid way up and let Naomi out to run free on the red dirt road and boy did she run- squealing with delight, stopping to check out all the cows and horses by the way road. She then continued on rolling around in the long thick grass and we all pretended to be lions in the grass roaring and hiding from the watching eye of those on "safari" :) I LOVE being a kid again! :)

It was seriously one of the best days of my life- it was so freeing and so beautiful especially since we have introduced Mr sad spoon. For those who don't know he is a small wooden spoon with a blue sad face on it- I decided not to draw a pink or red one as that seemed to cheery and this spoon represents what it feels like when we disobey. :( :( I have used it twice now and it really has helped alot, it's hard to see her cry but it only lasts a moment then she cuddles me and says sorry. Oh Jesus help me on this journey that has only just began.....
