If January felt like a month of Monday’s,
March has felt like a month of Sunday’s. Relaxing, stress-free, happy and so
content. Here’s the highlights reel:
Donuts
& diets
I have come to realize that the only way to
feel triumphant when attempting to embrace healthy living, is to stare
temptation in the face and proudly declare: not today donuts, not today. Sadly,
this has not happened all that often this month. After Gracie was born I
started eating properly and while I have lost 8kgs, it’s nowhere near enough.
Hopefully April brings with it more mindful eating habits.
Soph
Not a day goes by when Sophie doesn’t make
me laugh. March was Sophie’s last month as a 3 year old and there were many
moments when her little meltdowns underscored her “threenager” status. But
thankfully there were many more moments of laughter, cuddles and fun. She is
growing so fast, I find myself grasping every moment with both hands.
Gracie
Ok, so here’s a humble brag, Grace is the
most perfect child. Not only is she flipping crazy adorable, she is also the
sweetest little angel. She sleeps like a dream, her little laughs make my heart
feel like they’re going to explode and those eyes… I swear I could drown in
them. She is slowly starting to roll over, so far she can just about get on to
her tummy. As desperate as she is to crawl, her little chubby legs have yet to
figure the motions out properly.
Sisters
While we had a slightly rocky start, Sophie
has absolutely embraced having a little sister. She often proclaims, with such
pride, that Gracie is her best friend. Seeing the two of them snuggling on my
bed and giggling together is just love-dynamite. Everything Sophie does
entertains Gracie, she looks at her big sister with wide eyed love. It’s so
special to witness.
Reading
Hold on to your hats, this is quite a
revelation I’m about to drop on you:
This month I managed to read 2 books:
The help was amazing, funny, heart breaking and so so sincere. The second
book I devoured was Deon Meyer’s 13
hours. Probably one of the best suspense thrillers I have read in ages.
This was not a book I would normally pick up so Kudo’s to Julia for adding it
to the book club reading list. I have gone out and gotten 2 more of his books.
Small
joys
This month I have taken time to enjoy the
small things more. Picking avos from our avo tree, eating cake for breakfast,
watching movies, spending hours holding Gracie while she sleeps, giving Regan
all the hugs…. Relishing the little joys has left me feeling so happy and
grateful for the life I have.
What did your March look like?
