The Gallery: My Blog

It’s what I do when my children sleep.
It’s what I think about, whilst I wash their clothes –
scrub paint off walls, and food off the floor.
It makes me focus on the magic.

I want my children to look back one day,
in awe at the precious childhood they had.

I also want them, to understand, –
that family life, doesn’t always go as planned.
We are always striving, to do our best,
but with all the sacrifices, and mess,
we sometimes lose our way, & forget our specs.

‘Specs?!’ I hear you ask. You know the ones…
Rose-tinted, to filter out, the blips, along the way.

My blog is a place, where I connect,
with people from all over the world.
It’s like a letter, full of surprise,
that brings new people, into my life.

Sometimes my blog is a pick me up,
on a cold winters day, when I’m rugged up.

It is a life line to my family,
all living thousands of miles away.
It keeps us connected, and in touch,
with the rapidly changing lives of our children;
who really are the stars of this blog.

Through sharing this journey, with others,
I draw a strong feeling of community –
in growing the next generation.
Children of the world.
A world speeding up all the time.

This blog is my little way of pausing,
to catch a breath and marvel,
at the wonder and craziness of life.

And even on holiday, I can’t help but blog!
