Your opening paragraph (so funny!!), your octopus imagery and then "he children swirl like little fish in my wake, lying on the floor, sitting on the counter scooping seeds out of pumpkins, taking single bites out of peaches and discarding them, or opening both the pantry and fridge doors at the same time"---its a continuation of beautiful imagery, I can see it and relate to it and it makes me smile! I loved getting this glimpse into your life! You wrote it beautifully! Also, I loved that book by Tim Challies about devoted mothers---I loaned it to a friend but I think I need to get another and re-read. It was so inspiring me to me as a boy mom!
The neverending laundry...I so empathize! I just went to Jackie Hill Perry's Glory Conference this weekend and it was straight fire. Still haven't read Gay Girl, Good God but it's on my list. Winter recipes -- Eating Bird Food (blog) has a wonderful baked oatmeal recipe we love. So many ways to customize flavor AND not too dry. 2 big wins in my book!
Bec, your writing makes me want to be your best friend. Seriously, that first line gets me every time I read it. Please, one day when I come to Australia, take me through an ordinary day in your life. I want to meet your neighbors, and I promise to help with the laundry.
Oh Bec, even though I’ve already read this a few times, it still brought a smile to my face this morning!
Loved this and love the description of your Little Shed 💛 sounds so Aussie ✨
Bec this was so captivating. Loved seeing all these little glimpses of where you live. Laundry is a state of being 🤯😅

These are all amazing! Loved reading along where you live.
