Motherhood

good times

Georgie, papa and I enjoyed some good times on Friday evening. With friends, we cooked burgers, listened to music and danced before stumbling home a couple of hours later and hearing the news.

20 children shot dead.

How can this happen? What could have been so wrong with this young man and taken him to an elementary school where he killed six and seven year old angels? How can the parents of these children even begin to process this horrible loss? It has sickened me and knocked me sideways. To think that none of us can protect our babies from dangers such as these is a terrifying thought. Realising that monsters do exist is a terrifying thought.

Motherhood

I am woman: June Carter Cash

The fact that June Carter found the courage to divorce in 1956 speaks volumes to me. Can you imagine what that must’ve been like? This is 2012 and where I come from, divorce is still a taboo! I had heard of June Carter before watching Walk The Line but it was during that first viewing of one of my now all-time favorite movies that it hit me. What a talent, yes …but what a personality! What a character! I fell in love with her strength and the way she stood by her man through gut-wrenching times. Times you hope you never have to encounter. It is safe to say that a lot of Johnny Cash would not be had June not taken on the role of his guardian angel. In my eyes, she was a pioneer, a person who spoke the truth and did what felt right for her and her children. She never lost focus. I admire that in a person very much.

odd ends

Furniture shopping. Lots of reading. Walks to the schoolyard. And an amazing new app discovery.

Food, let's play, on our island

shopping, eating, playing…ah, the life!

First, thank God papa convinced me to get an iPhone. I am on fire on Instagram – even if it is only for my 15 followers. Boohoo- and having so much fun documenting Georgie’s life even MORE! Over the past three days we’ve done more shopping than will ever be admitted, gawked over these super cool mini ducks, ate a delicious homemade organic beef bolognese, cottage cheese with canned pineapples- which are not as bad as I thought- and messed around with our jumbo pot of chalk. Aside from the chalk breaking into a gazillion pieces, I can’t really complain. Having great music in the background helped take off the edge. oh and we also took our new pink pram for a walk……..
