While we didn't sit back and do nothing for the whole month of December, we definitely lost a feeling of routine. And I find that we are missing it and this surprises me!!!

So it is with our new PMA (positive mental attitude!) that we are setting plans for the coming months. Finding a gentle routine that suits our needs, thinking about how we would like to spend our time with a renewed focus.

We have found a balance in the past, sharing breakfast while pottering around feeding animals and getting ready for the day. Working together in the morning, walking the dogs, making lunch and knowing we have time in the afternoon to be creative or indulgent or share time with friends. Of course it doesn't always turn out like that, its life, they re kids! But we are taking our firsts steps back into that rhythm that seems to work for us.

So today saw a bit of sunshine and warmth that drew the younger ones out to play and the bigger boys take pen to paper and do some fabulous drawing. Instruments were played with greater enthusiasm and focus since before Christmas and William cooked us a fabulous lunch!
