Happy first day of spring!!! 🌸🌷🌻

I’ve been working on my behind the scenes stuff (which probably hasn’t been touched in about 2 years), and got my first newsletter out in a very, very long time. If you’d like to connect via email, comment newsletter and i’ll send you the signup link.

The other weekend one of my gorgeous pregnant friends had a food making party. We all chipped in and prepped some food to go in her freezer that can be chucked into the slow cooker for some easy meals when life is busy. We all thought it was such a brilliant idea, and I’ve decided to make it a reality. If you’re local and interested in some slowcooker food prepping parties, comment slowcooker and I’ll send you the link to join the fb group to get all the details as they drop 🥘🍝🍛🍲

Have you ever had something in your life change and it takes a while to recalibrate? I’m feeling like that at the moment! For the last few years I’ve been teaching at Ara Tuesday and Thursday mornings, but this semester Ive been changed to Wednesday and Fridays. The upside is that i get to attend a Pilates class at the gym I teach at on Tuesdays and Thursdays (it’s so different doing it for me than doing it for my students!), but I feel like I spend most of the week wondering what day it is 🤨

Im sure i’ll suss it out soon enough, and eventually work out some sort of regularly scheduled program for you all! But for now, know its ok to step away from something that is no longer working for you, its ok to take time to adjust when things change, and its ok to see benefits and downsides in a situation. They can both exist at the same time. 💛

I’ve shared this thought before but it’s so good it needs to be shared again.

Growing up i had this overwhelming feeling that i wasn’t good enough. That maybe i could earn my worth by working, by achieving, by doing. This isn’t truth, but there are a lot of untruths we hold to.
I’d been working on this untruth for a while before Benny was born, but while he was lying in NICU it really hit me. He was so teeny! He couldn’t breathe for himself, he couldn’t eat, he couldn’t even open his own eyes when he was born, but he was so precious to me!!! He didn’t have to earn my love or approval or acceptance. I just loved him.

And it really hit me that’s how God loves us. Nothing we can do can earn his love, nothing we can do can destroy it. He loves us because we’re his children. We are precious to him, he treasures us.

So my word for you today. You are loved. You are precious. You are a treasure. Not because of what you do. It hasn’t been taken away because of something you’ve done or something that was done to you. You are precious, valuable, worthy.

If this feels hard to believe, i’d love to chat. ❤️

I'm on a roll clearing off my blogging to-do list. I'll get back to some more educational content soon enough but I do love sharing my photos too! This one is from our Easter trip to Kaiteriteri. Let me know if you want the link to read and check out more photos.

Speaking of educational content, anything you'd like to know more about? I've started one on sensory processing, and another on multipotentialites and need to get them both finished off. One of them interest you? Or something else I've mentioned you want me to dig into more?

Only eight months after we were actually on this holiday, Ive blogged about it and shared a bunch of photos. We spent a couple of weeks travelling across the top of the South Island in the New Year.
Comment Golden Bay if you want me to send you the link.
Even though the weather wasn’t fantastic, i absolutely loved this holiday! Some great adventures, beautiful sights, wonderful people, and i got lots of reading done too 😅

It has been sitting there for a while but I think I forgot to let you all know i had posted the blog about ADHD and me.

So, im letting you know now. Comment blog if you want me to send you the link.

A little excerpt, and honestly the main thing i would love for anyone to take away from this is something that has become clearer and clearer to me as i unpack this topic…

What I’m learning is that I’m not broken. There is nothing wrong with me. I’m just not wired the way some of the people around me are. And that’s ok. In fact it’s pretty awesome… I’m not broken. There is not anything wrong with me. I’m just uniquely and wonderfully made.

And in case it needs to be spelled out, you’re not broken either. You are uniquely and wonderfully made. Some bodies need more support. Some brains need more support. Some people are creative, others are logical. Some are better with people, others are better with data. All are wonderful!

I nearly died today.

Now before I start I want to say I’m totally fine, and I know it sounds melodramatic, but it’s rolling around in my head so I want to share. And I’m super grateful my guardian angels were watching after me today!

This morning Benny for the first time mentioned maybe scooting to school, but we were running too late to do that, so I walked down with his scooter after school to head home together.

We crossed this road, and I don’t know whether I didn’t actually see this (very large) car coming, or I did see it coming but assumed it would slow down more than it did and wouldn’t cut the corner so severely, but let's just say I literally jumped out of the way. The adrenaline was definitely pumping! I think it freaked the driver out too. He did pull over and ask if I was ok. Shaken, but ok.

So my learnings from this, drive carefully! Look out for walkers & scooters as well as cars. And walk carefully. Seeing Benny scoot on ahead and so many other kids scooting home as we walked home totally freaked me out after that close call.

And not one day is promised to us. We’re busy getting ready for a family holiday in Bali. One we had talked about doing with my dad, the day he died unexpectedly. We’re going there for his 70th birthday as we planned with him. But it could so easily have been another funeral rather than a holiday my family was getting together for.

So, be safe, and appreciate the life you have. Live well, love well. I’ve been mulling over that stuff lately and it’s given me extra motivation. No real conclusions yet but I’ll share when i do. 💛💛💛

Today I’m celebrating 44 revolutions around the sun. 🎂
It’s been a year of many things, but as i look back over the photos, it has definitely been a year of travel adventures.

Many years before i was married and had B i had a mentor who reminded me how beautiful this country is, and that kids don’t need overseas travel, there is so much to do here! While we have spent many days on the road and exploring so many incredible places, it still feels like we’re just scratching the surface.

Heres to another year of exploring and adventures!! And continuing my goal of spending some time in front of the camera, not just hiding behind it! And definitely getting to the west coast! Maybe getting some more overnight hikes in. And sharing the photos from it.

In no particular order, photos are from Wanaka, kaiteriteri, Castle hill, Labyrinth rocks, Wharariki beach, Catlins, Tekapo, Abel Tasman, Red Rocks in Wellington, and a couple of other places i cant remember the name of right now.
