I sometimes feel like I'm failing because I'm trying to do too much with/for them and also not seeing to what I want to do for myself...but equally these years are so short and I want to savour them to their maximum potential even though some times are hard. I think all we can do is take one moment at a time with the realisation that it will soon be gone, but also that we can't possibly get everything done. That the simpler way of life is definitely the most peaceful with kids.. yhis place looks so magical, especially for kids to build memories but also even more special to watch them create those special times. That mountain looks ace!

I'm definitely most real and vulnerable in my family, and that's not always a good thing! But I suppose at least it provides plenteous opportunities to practice grace and patience, and remember the beauty of forgiveness.

Thank you. <br />I was new to marriage and parenting when I moved to a place where I don't have friends or family and that is really hard - however the plus side is my diary is the emptiest it has ever been in my life and my children are reeping all the benefit of my undivided attention. It's me that is making the sacrifice which is hard, but the way it should be xKaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437949099735865174.post-2541208937746199132016-07-31T21:50:51.677+01:002016-07-31T21:50:51.677+01:00Oh isn't that the truth!

I do love your thought about family being where we are real and vulnerable - so very true. So glad that you have had some time away to stop and reflect and what a beautiful place to take the time out. Love the photo of your daughter drinking from the waterfall and the final one of the five of you.Louise (Little Hearts, Big Love)http://littleheartsbiglove.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437949099735865174.post-48415345302302414972016-07-31T20:26:13.253+01:002016-07-31T20:26:13.253+01:00What a great family adventure hunny.
