Such a beautiful autumn morning for a daughter date with my first born. We played Pooh Bear amongst the pine trees, marvelled at the impressive fungi specimens and spotted new-to-us birds. We then made it back home in time to beat the rain, or rather dance in it and then enjoyed a cosy afternoon indoors.
It’s easy to spot the beauty on glorious autumn days like this.
Mondays are always a great start to our homeschool week thanks to our fellow Nature Explorers. I haven’t been blackberry picking in years!
I’m a little late getting my (not quite) ten shots online, but better late than never!
On the 10th of the month I was mainly busy prepping for the next school year, but it was also a very happy mail day with 4 incoming pieces from 4 different countries and I even managed to squeeze in a couple of replies amongst the usual hustle and bustle of family life.
It’s been a while since I did a Ten on Ten on here and I’ve missed it, and this month I found I really needed it. The heat has been getting to us a little over this past week and between us there have been some short tempers and grumpy attitudes that highlighted to me that I really needed to intentionally work on seeking the beauty and goodness of life.
Well today was a good day to be a beauty seeker. Sunshine, friends, flowers and frogs, followed by some free play, rest time and a even more fresh air.
Today has been a good day. We spent time with friends in the morning, managed to be a day late for our orthoptist appointment but got seen anyway (phew!), stocked up the kitchen cupboards, baked some birthday goodies, played in the garden, squeezed in some colouring, played hide and seek and had a family favourite for dinner – Macaroni Cheese! You really can find so much beauty and joy in the small things.
Linking up again with Rebekah Gough here are my ten shots trying to capture the beauty in the ordinary.
Today we had a family celebration so got all dressed up and went out for lunch. Despite the grey and wet weather the girls gave their summer “swishing” dresses one last twirl and then we came home to chill after all the fun. We jamified early, had a snuggly quiet time and then prepped for Blossom’s first day of “big school” tomorrow.
