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!

50 Things.....

This week, 'Blog This' set a challenge......Make a list of 50 Things! Any 50 things at all!

So....I got thinking.....what 50 Things did I want to list & blog about?!

As I've said before...I'm a dreamer, I'm a believer, I'm optimistic, I'm a goal setter and I'm a go-getter!! It was that thought that lead me to have the "Ah ha" moment of what I'd list..... My Bucket List ~ My 50 Things I want to do before I die....my dreams, my fantasies, my goals & my visions!

Hey Jess, How are you?
Thanks :)
I was born in Zimbabwe, Africa. Came to Aus when I was a toddler. But went back for a holiday to Zimbabwe {and surrounding countries} in 1997. LOVED IT!!! Want to go back there with Chris & Ella :)
Your honeymoon must have been AMAZING!

Fantastic list! I love reading these sorts of things and I have noticed that quite often people have the same sorts of things on them. eg fly in hot air balloon, fly first class, go to disneyland.

I hope you achieved all of these goals and more! :-)
