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!

I am. I'm Not. 

{image by me}

I am not:

  • a super Mum - I have many faults.
  • into watching sport on TV - I'd rather watch grass grow...sorry Chris.
  • as patient as I used to be.
  • going to whine about winter this year - I will embrace it & enjoy it.
  • good at saving money.
  • a fan of my kid's starting each day at 5am {after several wakings in the night}.
  • the centre of attention at a party....but not the super shy one either.
  • the most co-ordinated person - even though I've danced all my life...and can multi-task like a pro.
  • very good at remembering to drink water.
  • always content - I'm always looking for something to do, make, experience or achieve.
  • not tired of hearing my kids laugh.
  • not able to wear my hair down much at the moment - a certain little baby boy ends up gripping on to handfuls of it...ouch.

But, I am:

  • madly in love with 3 beautiful souls.
  • highly addicted to coffee. {as I sip my hot brew as I type}
  • trying to bring up happy, healthy, balanced, strong & kind children.
  • loving the space & storage our new home has - and the fresh mountain air that sweeps through.
  • going to bake more {soon}.
  • craving & feeling a desire to start running again.
  • holding a baby as I type this, playing calming music over the iPad speakers - trying to create a peaceful, happy place whilst Big Sister is at Kindy.
  • trying to find more balance in my life without putting myself last.
  • constantly reminding myself to slow down....breathe....and enjoy the moments.
  • always dreaming. and dreaming BIG.
  • proud of my Husband Chris for all that he's achieved & is striving to achieve with his business ventures.
  • in love with my current life - I hope I don't ever take my blessings for granted.
  • sick of over thinking things....and analysing my every decision.
  • glad it's Friday. I love weekends with my family.
  • ME.

Please, tell me, what's on your "I am. I'm not." list?
