It has been a while since I posted! Hope you are all ok! Sending everyone virtual hugs - more then ever! I am so thrilled to join in @littlepaperswan #springhashtagchallenge I missed day one yesterday so catching up! Day one : Blooms & Blossoms The challenge is on all week and there is an inspired prompt for each day. Go check is out and join in! Sending 💜💜💜

💜 Remember to make your bed 💜 I do like a bit of structure and routine. And during these days of uncertainty routine feels far away. We are striving to keep little parts of our routine in check. Like making the bed when we wake up in the morning. There is something about it that gives a sense of accomplishment. And of course it is much easier to place the unfolded laundry on a made bed 😂 What part of your daily routine is important to you? Hope you are all ok, lovely people. Sending love 💜 #remembertomakeyourbed #makeyourbed #positivelysquared #mybeautifulstories #daysofsimpleandslow

🌿The impact of nature is great to one so small🌿 I see you observing and absorbing. This playground, This sensory wonderland. I see it’s wonder reflecting in your eyes. I see your joy and fascination. It seems to me that you work in tandem. Forever growing and changing, Adapting and asserting presence. Harnessing sustenance and resilience. It seems to me that you work in tandem. Perhaps we all do. Exist in tandem with this, Our playground, Our sensory wonderland. Forever growing and changing, Adapting and asserting presence. Harnessing sustenance and resilience. The impact of nature is great To one so small. The impact of nature is great To all. 🌸 Story behind the photo: Spring exploration frequently leads us here. Where we observe and absorb. Perhaps a moment to sit on a bench - a short moment as energy levels are rather high 😂 Perhaps during these times of uncertainty returning to nature is where we should be, with the birds who continue to sing and the buds in bloom with spring or the contrasting leaves that begin their fall. Whichever your hemisphere we are in this together. May you take a moment and find comfort in nature. 🌼 This post is inspired by this weeks theme ‘ONE DAY IN NATURE’ with @storisse and @nanhes.jungle #mybeautifulstories #daysofsimpleandslow

It’s about the connection, not perfection. It seems I have taken an unintentional break from posting within these squares. For no particular reason... Well actually I have had ideas for posts but I feel like they all have to be just perfect, which I have come to realise is not realistic. I am telling myself it’s more about connection not perfection. And hopefully moving forward will mean more creativity, more letting go, more visibility and more community. I am currently reading The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown. And I have to say it is amazing! Only 33 pages in and already I feel enlightened and dare I say worthy! Hoping to finish it by Saturday as this copy is now on hold by a fellow reader at our local library. March has been ticking along very fast. I couldn’t let it tick any further without sending some March LOVE to you all. 💜💜💜

💕 UNCONDITIONAL LOVE 💕 Here are my boys, Owen and Carson. They are my little loves who constantly open my eyes to new worlds. They constantly grow, challenge and step closer to becoming who they are meant to be. My love for them has no conditions. It has no limits. It is more than all the universes put together. It is more than the day before. It is the motivation and the push. It is all the emotions. It is the awesome condition of being a parent. The condition of unconditional love. And that is a wonderful thing! For this month's #daysofsimpleandslow challenge I've teamed up with some wonderful friends to celebrate love in this month's 💕Love loop💕. Throughout February we introduced a new prompt every Tuesday to invite you to connect over this challenge and spread some love. This week's prompt (4/4) - Unconditional love Next story: @dorinelahamamci To see all contributions, follow the loop until you get back here.

3285 days ago we said “I do.” . . . The thing with planning a wedding is you have very specific ideas in your head about the day and how it should go. The timings, the decor, the weather. Some things in your control and a lot of things not. The day before our wedding my husband-to-be said as along as the minister is present we will be ok. Soothing words for my particular brain... The next morning while taking care of some of those finer details I had a call from said husband-to-be. He informed me that we needed passport photos for the register. I didn’t have recent photo and needed to organise one and fast - in between getting hair and makeup done of course. This threw a spanner in the plan and I proceeded to have a meltdown. No sooner had I composed myself I heard “there’s one more thing, the minister has double booked and cannot make it to our wedding!” You can imagine my response! To cut a long story short a plan was made and we did indeed get married by a lovely minister. I am sure there are many things that did not go exactly to plan on the day but to be honest I can’t remember any of them (except the minister and the last minute passport photo- I think I will remember those!). The rest of those little details and particular plans have melted and been moulded into one fantastic day. A day where we said “I do” to each other, a day where we celebrated with family and friends, a day where I danced so much that I wore through the heel in my shoes. In case you were wondering 3285 days is 9 years. Celebrating this day with our two wonderful boys. And the plan is to make cupcakes, but you know the thing about plans... The lovely and extremely talented @vanessacoetzeephotography photographed our wedding day💜. #positivelysquared #ourweddingphoto #wesaidido
