Our life in tiny squares

While at a lunch date with @ravendanger I casually went to scoop Leo out of his car seat to find he was basically sitting in a pool of poop. No changing table available, only a handful of wipes left and luckily no one else in the restaurant, we washed him with warm wet paper towels as he screamed so hard he was gagging. My new shirt which at this point I had already spilled soup on now was decorated with neon poop, snot and drool. A white tank onesie was the only thing I found in my usually perfectly packed and planned diaper bag and my changing pad was now completely covered in poop so dressing him involved one person dangling his body while the other dressed. But here he is in his emergency bath happy as a damn clam and 10/10 would recommend Garden Hot Pot on Gage. 🕊💜🦁
A very special little bunny cookie for a very special little girl. Happy Easter Sylvia, we are so proud of you. 🕊💜🦁
Life can be the sunshine, On peaceful days with bright blue skies, Or life can be the raindrops, That fall like tears squeezed from your eyes, Life can be the heaven, That you’ll only reach through hell, Since you won’t know that you’re happy, If you’ve not been sad as well, Life can teach hard lessons, But you’ll be wiser once you know, That even roses need both sunshine, And a touch of rain to grow. 🕊💜🦁
Thanks for the well wishes yesterday friends. Rehabbed my heart with some quiet time in my most comfiest clothes, a good book and my best purchase of 2018, a @yeti mug. You know those go-to routines when you need a reset? This is one of mine. Happy Friday my sweet friends.

Sat here and cried a while. When the seasons start to change I find my anxiety, my longing, my aching and my grief for Sylvia peak. Instead of the excitement of warmer weather, longer days and the end of winter, I find myself overwhelmed with the knowledge that time continues to go on without her. How can the world continue to move past the last moment I held her in my arms? How can summer seemingly be around the corner and with that her 2nd birthday? The immediate response is usually pointing out Leo’s existence and something along the lines of ‘...but *now* you have Leo’ which is true, I do, but it doesn’t negate, minimize or repair the hole in my heart for my daughter. There is someone hugely important missing from every single physical moment. Do you have more than one child? Tell me, which one could you live without? Heartbreaking to even imagine I am sure. No real uplifting message here, just very sad lately and THATS OKAY. Feelings are meant to be felt. Happy Thursday friends xo 🕊💜🦁 . . . . . . #thehappynow #lifeafterloss #grief #infantloss #mamagrief #ohheymama #mytinymoments #slowmotherhood #flashesofdelight #pursuepretty #livethelittlethings
