Balance
Apologies for the lack of posts last week. I’m struggling to find balance in my life right now, and the photography and blogging have taken a back seat. I’m also trying to spend less time in front of the computer when my kids are around, and by the time I get them into bed I’m too knackered to get online.
So I’ve decided to try and post three times a week, instead of daily. Also forgive the lack of comments on the blogs I follow. There are now over 200 unread items in my google reader! I’ve got you all bookmarked, and will get to you soon, promise.
Today’s photo is from a play session we had last week, inspired by both Mad Mum and Frugal Family Fun. I’m trying to be less worried about all the mess, and go with the flow. I got some rolled oats, left-over lentils and split peas which were well past their best and we had a mini-indoor sandpit. Well, large tubs really. The girls had a fab time, and managed to get it all over the kitchen floor. So then we had a fun time with broom, dustpan and brush, mini-hoover and hoover cleaning it all up again. They enjoyed this so much, we did it again the next day, and I’ve still got some mix left in the tubs for another rainy day!
I really like the light in this one. LittleSquishy had her back to the sun and it was streaming through the windows.

Wow little sqish looks adorable. Regarding the balance it is hard isnt it. I have 30 mins before getting the boys dressed at about 6.30am!!! Then again a little bit with a cup of tea after school drop off and again after lunch adn preschool drop off.
I have just got back from preschool drop off and seeing my mum, so mine are in bite sized chunks. I also get 30 mins with a tea when MadDad gets home after we have all eaten.
I am so proud of you letting go of your perfection, it isnt easy, but it is fun and so much better when you make a game of the cleaning!!
The lighting is beautiful!
