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!

Happy Days.....{on holiday}

Yesterday, we arrived here..... one of my all-time favourite places in the world.....

Let me start by saying......I LOVE BEING ON HOLIDAYS!!!

After several weeks of overcast days, huge downpours, massive thunder storms & crazy flooding in Queensland....we've now been greeted with crystal clear blue skies & amazingly long sunny days! It's been BLISS! We've been swimming {with the choice of 2 pools & spas & the beach directly over the road, we've managed to do HOURS of swimming each day!!}, shopping, wining, dining, sunbaking, we enjoyed an early morning beach walk & we're loving that our skin is finally getting sun-kissed for the first time this summer :) The cafe's & restaurants here are amazing {even though my waistline may not agree!} and lunchtime cocktails are a MUST :) Ella {who rarely has a day sleep these days} passed out in the pram today 1 minute down the road as we browsed the shops :) The hours of swimming with our little water baby have definitely paid off....she stayed asleep in the pram throughout the whole of lunch today.....Chris & I felt like we were on a 'date', as we sipped our drinks & savoured the food, without chatting toddler talk, wiping up spilt messes & entertaining an active 2 year old. It was nice to enjoy that 'couple' time whilst our little Princess snoozed safely beside us!!

Anyways, I better be off.....I've got some more pool-side lounging to do, a new magazine to buy & more holidaying to enjoy..... :) And I'm lapping it all up Baby....every second of it.....coz I know reality awaits us back at home on our return later this week & the steady flow of balancing working & family will have to be concentrated on again :)

HAPPY DAYS!!!
