~ endless summer ~

We're back.
We've been at the shack for 3 glorious weeks.
3 whole fabulous weeks.  I'm still smiling when I think about it. 


3 weeks of no plans, no appointments, nothing that has to be done (but so much to do).
       {It felt like running away from the real world}.


3 weeks of amazing weather  - like the "olden/golden days" of childhood summers.
      {We've actually been at the beach I spent my childhood summers at - its like my children are
          drinking in my memories - I love it}.


3 weeks of sunshine, sand, swimming and sports.  Of reading and sewing and lounging and "doing nothing".
       {we only had 2 ambitions for the holidays - to toilet train the youngest and get the middle one
         riding her bike - huge milestones - both achieved - yay!}


All of us being a bit slower, a bit more in the moment, a bit calmer, a lot more content
        {it's a lot to do with the 3 holiday rules - a swim, an icecream and a nap/rest every day}


We'll try to hang to those feelings as long as we can.

How was your holiday?
Any milestone achievements?
