Love waking up to


these little toes that sneak in during the night

I have to edit to add that this is Aidan

that sneaky smile that makes my heart smile


wearing daddy's shoes because he loves it so much


 

the boy being home on the long weekend and enjoying his brekkie outside in the beautiful autumn morning sun


 yummy hot soy chai with honey


home made hot cross buns


and I especially love that after an anxious few months, I can finally sleep knowing that it can just be stress that makes you feel sick

Hope you love waking up to the simple things around you.

Enjoy the long weekend and the last few days of the school holidays my friends ♥

    oh Cathie, I am so glad you can sleep.
    So very glad.
    And chai and sunshine is really good medicine isn't it.
    And, you have made me smile, once again, with beautiful images captured by a mum.
    And, how great is the hair on that child. Wow!
    And, happy long weekend, lovely x

    Completely adorable, my son is wearing my husband's shoes right now (he always puts them on to put them away & walks them down the hall) scary that at age 7 his feet are so huge, it's not a struggle to wear such enormous shoes!! I've never encouraged my children to climb into bed but they're always welcomed with a cuddle when they come in, even the high schooler, especially on a cold Wintery morning in Canberra. It's a bit nuts when they're 6 in the bed, but hey, that is how it ends up on special days like tomorrow - Easter, with their eggs & hoping they don't melt onto the bedlinen. Love Posie

    Oh boy...your little man is super adorable :) all our children have gone through the faze of wearing their daddy's shoes, such a cute sight to see them clobbering around in them.
    I know all too well the anxiety that stress can cause on one's health and am glad to hear that you can sleep peacefully

    Happy happy easter to you sweet lady and your beautiful cutie pie family;) I am so happy to hear that you are ok, I was very worried. Stress can do some horrible things to our bodies, I've started going to yoga to try and de-stress and I've been really enjoying it so far. Enjoy the rest of your weekend together. xo

    Oh look at that baby, and his gorgeous toes! Actually, the buns are gorgeous too. So lovely to have a little people to snuggle - and they grow so quickly, so you just have to enjoy the little moments...

    And pesky, uninvited stress... begone!

    Ahhh! He is so gorgeous! I could never get after that boy! He would get away with everything with me because he would just make me smile even if he was up top no good. & your photography is sooo magazine worthy!

    I got the sweetest cards from Australia today! I even knew it was coming & I still did not know how fu that would be to get a card from you! I was so happy my little sister was here to show them off too! & I read the opening complimentary line twice to her just because I loved it :) You are too sweet! But then I already knew that :) Oh & thank you so much for the extra card! I want to put it in a frame I can't imagine sending it off! It is just way too cute! If you ever quit baking...photoshoots & styling is right up your alley! Thanks Cathie!!!! Love Lib
