Welcome to the bloggy home of Claire Chadwick. I'm the face & designer behind Scissors Paper Rock Designs, a wife to Chris, Mummy to the Divine Miss Ella & our newest addition; Baby Ryder. I'm a Primary School Teacher by trade, but recently shut my classroom door to pursue other BIG dreams of Freelance Writing. I am also excited to announce that my first Children's Picture Book {So Many Sounds} will hit stores in June 2013. This blog is my little online space where I weave together my reflections and stories of Motherhood. I illustrate with photos.... and drink plenty of coffee to keep me going. I'm on a mission to turn the mundane moments of motherhood into MAGICAL ones. 

Join me in seeping as much goodness out of life, {whilst I continue to drink way too much coffee & take way too many photos} and together we can make the most of our WILD & PRECIOUS LIVES!

I'd love to hear from you....comment on my posts or send me an email. Buckle up, Enjoy the ride!

Live! Laugh! Love!

Learning my way through life........

{image from here}

Hi all you lovelies! How was your Friday? The above quote is one of my favourite...hence why I reference some of it in my blogging banner & on some of my products! I think it's such a simple way to live your life....to live, to love & to laugh :) AND....to learn!!! Everything we undergo, experience, do, participate in or see is a learning curve/journey/experience! I think life is one big learning journey!

I was driving home from work this afternoon and was thinking about getting my tax done, putting the Christmas TOY layby on, a few orders I have to complete by next week....and it dawned on me....oh my goodness...it's the middle of JULY....where the heck has the past 7 months gone? How did July get here so fast? Is the end of another year almost here?.....oh my!!!!

Then it got me thinking.....have I learnt anything new this year?

Of course I have....and here is some of it:

  1. Hard work really does pay off.
  2. It's ok to believe in magic :)
  3. How to build a website.
  4. Just because someone is smiling....it doesn't necessarily mean they're happy....who knows what they're hiding behind that smile or deep inside.
  5. Little girls truly are AMAZING fun!
  6. Online shopping is seriously addictive.
  7. 'ME' time spent with girlfriends or alone is one of the most refreshing things a busy Mum can have.
  8. That I am VERY reliant on a coffee to start each day...without out, everything falls apart lol.
  9. Fakeness can be found in the least expectant people/places/products.
  10. That knitted dress I bought last winter makes me look a good 20kg heavier :)
  11. There is A LOT of beauty hidden in everyday things, you just have to open your eyes to it!
  12. Some things are just not worth fighting for.
  13. Watching Ella play, mingle, dance, grow, talk, laugh & sleep are the MOST enjoyable moments of my life!
  14. How to use Adobe software's better.
  15. Laughing with a mouthful of V {energy drink} is not a good idea.
  16. How soul-warming it is to just lay in the grass & look up at the sky.
  17. Amazing people enter our lives nearly everyday, and if you let them in, they may change your life forever.
  18. There is not enough hours in each day!
  19. Dreams can & do come true!
  20. To treasure that one friend who just 'gets' you and stands by you no matter what!
  21. Having a crappy day is ok....every now and then!
  22. Sleep is something that too many people take for granted!!

And I'm sure there is soooo much more, but we could be here all night as I list them lol.

What have you learnt this year? I'd love to know!

Happy Friday xo.

I finally learnt how to bake a cake from scratch, no packet mix. And it tastes just as good, maybe even better :>
Lovely list you have made. Whoa, I can't believe it's July already too. :>
