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!

A few sweet things making me smile today.

Yep....we're still waiting! Waiting for this little baby to grace us with his presence! And to be honest......I'm over it. Fed up. Frustrated! I keep chanting this quote in my mind: ‘When the fruit is ready, it will fall off the vine’. I know I should just relax & trust the process....he'll be here eventually! But, I'm struggling! I'm trying to savour every last minute of being pregnant....as there's a big chance that this will be the last time I'll ever carry a child inside me! And don't get me wrong.....I'm feeling VERY lucky & grateful & blessed to have made it full-term with a thriving little life.....but c'mon already.....time's up! I want to meet you my little Love!

Anyways....to keep my mind off the waiting....the wondering....the pain, I decided to focus on the GOOD! Coz there's so much good around....you just have to look a little harder sometimes! So, I've put together a little list of 'Sweet Things Making Me Smile Today':

1. The sun is shining....the sky is blue....I can already feel Summer in the air....and that's good! All good :)

2. My BIG GIRL {she can always make me smile!}. Gosh I love her!

3. My new Louis Vuitton 'nappy' bag from our New York City trip :) 

4. Finding random drawings scattered around the house....stuck to walls with stickers, carefully slipped into Mummy's bag or Daddy's iPad case, piled up on the craft table, scrunched into little pink handbags & inside scrapbooks! My girl likes to draw....and her drawings make me smile :)

{this is me on Planet Earth.....what's not to smile about that!}

5. Sitting in the baby's nursery.....imagining, planning, wondering, loving!

6. Playing with new photo Apps on my phone. This one is Colour Splash....thank you to Sarah for the tip on some good, fun apps. I used one of the photos I took at the Strawberry Farm to play with! 

7. Imagining our little man all dressed up in all his cute little outfits :)

8. My new PRINT design :) A quote from Ella's favourite little fairy, Tinkerbell :) You can purchase this print here!

9. Ella found 10cents on our morning walk today :) She was pretty happy with that find :) I told her she can keep it & put it in her piggy bank at home.....her response "Nah, I think I'll give it to my Kindy and they can buy new toys & paint with it, coz they might be running out of money!" {that made me smile!}

10. And.....Chris & I are LOVING this song by Darren Hayes at the moment :)

Life can be frustrating {especially when you're like me & like to have everything planned out & organised}, but it can also be unpredictable, wild & full of SWEET SWEET THINGS!

Please help me keep my mind busy.....Tell me, what's making you smile today?
