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!

To lift your spirits & brighten your day.....{friends}

"There's nothing like the company of good friends to remind us that life is to be enjoyed. If you have been feeling lonely or bored, make an effort to catch up with close friends and enjoy the simple things in life."

I have this cute little 'quote' book called "DOG WISDOM" by Tanya Graham, which I got for my birthday about 4 years ago. Ella has become obsessed with it {as it's full of photos of cute dogs & pups} and she carries it around, making up stories for each page :) I've decided to randomly pick a page every now & then....and copy that quote to my blog.....accompanied by a photo....of course :)

And this lovely friendship quote was the page we landed on today :)

I've just stepped away from the most oppressive phone call and hopped on facebook. Thanks for the reminder Claire, it truly reflects what I am about and often things come in our way just to blow us off course :) Great timing, you just touched my heart. xx K

So nice!!! I did catch up with friends today just for a cuppa - the simple things are the best!
I nearly donated 'the blue day book' during my november charity give-away, but the kiddos wanted to keep it for the photos of animals - but I recently read it and it too has some lovely and uplifting quotes.

Look forward to reading your next piece of happy wisdom :-)
