My youngest left home last week to live in the big city, very exciting for her & definitely a rite of passage I remember well. However gee I miss her & as well as her two older brothers who have been gone for a few years! Where did the 'children years' go, & why so fast?! Our dynamic has definitely changed but my husband & I are treating it as a new chapter in our lives which is to be grabbed with two hands & enjoyed even though we miss them all being around daily. And of course we are very excited for, & proud of, them as they go forward into the world! Have a lovely week! xsusanSusan Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992688181527202915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-77579896026902714562019-02-17T11:18:54.265+11:002019-02-17T11:18:54.265+11:00Hi Kate, it’s taking a while to get back into the ...Hi Kate, it’s taking a while to get back into the daily routine this year mainly because I’m playing the “parent” role to my Mum as she’s just moved into aged care. Such a weird feeling! There’s so much to do that it’s a little overwhelming - so grateful for support from my other half. I know we’ll get there but the tunnel’s still a little dark at the moment.

My family is going through a similar stage with two of my older ones spreading their wings this year - one to another capital city to find their fortune and the other overseas for an extended holiday. On one hand I am so excited at their independence and on the other am not looking forward to all the missing of them which is bound to occur.<br />It is so important to take 'time out' even if it is just a day or even half a day. It is important for our mental and emotional health. It always helps to put the demands of the days into perspective.Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-84755110247210611042019-02-17T04:04:10.537+11:002019-02-17T04:04:10.537+11:00I so enjoy your cozy blog!

She was discussing some of the things she's been doing with her kids and I can fully remember doing all those same kinds of things with mine, but also realizing that we have completely moved beyond all of the sensory boxes and craft prompts, etc... It would make me sad except that I'm loving so much the new stage that we're in now with tweens/teens! In fact, I've found that every new age/stage quickly becomes my new favorite age/stage so far!<br />I love reading your post each week and looking at all of your beautiful photos.
