This week was considerably calmer in comparison to the last few weeks. Emma’s outdoor hockey has ended for the seasons which makes our week so much calmer. I also decided to skip my Sunday walk just so I could lie in and start the day slowly and it was so good.
Glimmers
(Glimmers are micro-moments of joy that make us feel happy, hopeful, and safe.)
- I finally got around to getting some packaging made for Emma’s shop goodies. I love so much how they came out.
- I made a delicious butter chicken. Every time I make a delicious meal I am not sure who is more surprised, me or my family.
- Jack made dinner twice. I LOVE that he is so keen to do this. it is such a treat having someone else make dinner.
- Emma won another 2 gold medals at her karate competition on Saturday. She also helped out for the day and her Sensei sent me such a lovely message about how helpful Emma was. I am so glad she is finding her space in the world.
Picture of the Week
I have decided to change this section up and add in my favourite photo of the week. I love this photo of Kiara so much. It was taken 16 years ago during a weekend away.
Wise Words of the Week
Words of the Week
I am joining up with the Word of the Week link party this week so my word for the week would have to be BREATHE. Since we got back from our June break it feels like life has been moving in 6th gear. It has not been particularly enjoyable but I am grateful my kids have the opportunities to do the things they love. But this past week felt like I was able to catch my breathe a bit. It felt a little less rushed and chaotic.
Until next week!
Beautiful photo of Kiara and the deer. The pose from each is perfect, as if they are communing with each other on another level. Your packaging looks very professional. Hope Emma is pleased with it. Well done on her medals and it is lovely when you hear from others that they are doing well. I do love it when someone else cooks. Your wise words are beautiful and I like the final part about not rushing to reach your next stage to suit someone else. Hope this week is calm and allows you time to breathe.
How lovely to have a calmer week. The lie in sounds perfect!
The packaging that you made is so pretty.
I get like that when I make a delicious meal, I do sometimes surprise myself.
And breathe! Such a simple but wise way of thinking. I’m glad you’ve had chance to relax a little. I love the photo of Kiara and the deer and the packaging you made. It looks really professional. And well done to Emma on her gold medals.
That packaging is SO cute! We took the opportunity to lie in a bit this weekend too. We had a really fabulous vacation but ever since we got back last Wednesday I feel like life has been one big blur with lots of extra stuff on my to do list.
I’m glad you managed to catch your breath this week. Some seasons of life are all go, and we don’t get a minute to stop and process.
Well done to Emma on her medals; it sounds like she’s really enjoying karate.
Glad you’ve had a calmer week. How lovely that Jack made dinner twice and well done to Emma on her karate medals. What a gorgeous photo of Kiara. Those wise words for the week are very good advice. It’s so important to be able to take your time with grieving and trying to heal. I’m glad you felt you had time to breathe too. #project365
I love the packaging you made for the bracelets for Emma’s shop, so cute. Good on Jack for making dinner twice in the week and congrats to Emma on her karate medals. #wotw #project365
