Some little lovelies.....

Sometimes I have a week where everything
seems a bit overwhelming.....especially when
there is sickness involved.
More than at any other time, it helps me to
step back and look at the overall beauty and
privilege of this parenting journey.
To look around our home at all the collections of
little lovelies which as a whole become
something more........an overall impression
which I hope my children will carry with them...



... the cheery little things that encourage
me on my way.



I feel so grateful for: the beauty and integrity of the
Waldorf approach to family life.

For the collections of little handmade treasures
that surround us....


For the unexpected and wonderful little delights...



For the simplicity and beauty of the toys that my children
play with.......




And have done since they were tiny.....





I feel so grateful for all the little waldorfian things that carry
their own kind of magic......and inspire such varied play.


Sometimes it is just SO nice to stand back and reflect
on the integrity of the choices that we have made, and to
see the larger picture for a moment.
.....Before I disappear again into the ongoing reality
that parenting is.
