Oh Julia it is so beautiful to receive your exquisite words to your beautiful baby, thank you for sharing with us. I love the idea of timelines weaving together. I have been quite anchored in my children as they are now (and will be so soon as we are approaching school in September for my daughter) but I had forgotten to remember the last few summers of their interwoven different stories, thank you for the reminder xx

My, the start of the school era is such a portal for both mothers and children. I will read anything you’ll share about this transition if you’ll write about it! 🙏🏼

They remind us to bring love and curiosity and a sprinkle of magic back into our days. And that’s why they are wise (and exhausting) little miracles that turn our lives inside-out and change us forever. ♥️ Off topic, but you look very beautiful in that photo 🕊️

This was very dreamy and pretty. This tends to be how I feel when I look through pictures Id snapped of the kids.

Photographs and words are how I remember because honestly the days do seem endless but how easily do I seem to forget precious little moments like this?

These words. ❤️ I’ve been thinking of you and this tender time, it’s a balm to receive your writing here again. The cliche is so real… the time really does fly by. My eldest starts school and will be 5 in September. 5! 5 years a Mother… I’m not sure how that’s happened but I am so grateful for it. Xxx

I’ve been thinking about you too (and your lovely email + offer I am still to accept!)…and yes, you always feel that things will be different for you when they tell you that time flies and here I am saying it myself: oh, how time flies?!

Soaking up my babies a little more, sniffing them a little deeper, holding them a little tighter as we all snuggle up to sleep tonight ✨ How can it be fast and slow all at the same time? Thank you for your musings and for reminding me to keep it slow, there is no rush 🌷

I was so excited to see your words in my inbox. This is beautiful, time does fly and I lean on that truth as a reminder to move as slowly as I can through my days to take it all in.
