To Be Human Is A Powerful, Profound Thing That Deserves A Lot Of Patience.

This sweet card was made by my even sweeter five year old student. Did you lovely people have a memorable Mother’s Day? This year I decided not to make a big Facebook announcement for my mama, instead I wrote this (incase you and I aren’t Facebook friends):

I don’t want to post a generic message about how I love my mum and how lucky I am to have her (which I do and which I am) this Mother’s Day. Instead, I want to acknowledge all of my friends who either live far away from their mothers (I know from first-hand experience how hard that is) and those whose mothers are no longer with us. I wish you calmness and strength <3

Absolutely in love with my Dr. Seuss preschool teacher uniforms because I absolutely love him! Who is/was your favourite childhood author? (A question posed to me by Soroosh the other day to which I actually replied Paul Jennings).

New favourite CHCH eatery! This $12 split pea soup (topped with caramelised onions) served alongside Bellbird bread and carrot butter from Gatherings was 10/10.

  1. Sorry this took me so long to see. Lovely pictures as always. You are lucky to have your mother, just as she is lucky to have you.

    The author I most associate with my childhood: J.R.R. Tolkien. I started with The Hobbit in Elementary School and never stopped.

  2. Fabulous blog, keep going. As a young boy filled with adventure and hope I loved the Uncle Remus series especially Brer Rabbit stories. I just couldn’t get enough of them. I only found AA Milne much later in life.
