Passing On

Yesterday I dusted off my Nanna's sewing machine, the kids were like puppies playing with a new ball. They were dancing around me asking for a new hat, bag, dress and funky pants. As I threaded the needle, and turned the light on I had memories flooding back to me.... sitting at the feet of Nanna Bernadette with sun streaming through the window, listening to the gentle hum of the sewing machine whilst playing with a jar of buttons. I made the kids a bag each - Elijah turned his into puppet! The purpose of getting the machine out was to alter a dress from a few years ago.....

Onto my previous topic of balance.. I have been working 4 days a week school hours, I am tired and more organised than ever have been. I have made a decision to move into a sales role at my current work which I am exited about for many reasons, working with my best friend of 25 years - I know 25 years! I am determine to keep working in school hours so I can be around for the kids after school, for playdates, ballet, tennis and the list goes on.

So the struggle with balance continues...
