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!

Coming Together. 

Ella & her cousin Lily. I stole this shot from my sister-in-law's facebook page. I love it!!

In the almost 2 months we've been in this new house, we've had more gatherings & get-togethers than we've had in the past year!

We've hosted breakfasts, playdates and coffee drop-ins. Friends over for lunch or lazy takeaway nights. We've had friends come for the weekend, as we watched happy kids play & all pass out in the one bed, whilst we sat up late drinking wine & talking til the wee hours. We've had Grandparents stay over to babysit & love our kids. We've hosted Easter, new home celebrations, dinner parties, family coming back to Australia, Basically....a whole heap of general life-lovin moments have been happening inside this family home of ours. It's been nice.  

It's been easier to be the host nowadays, with our new found space & location. And also easier in the sense that Ryder can nap in his own cot if need be, and Ella has a huge array of toys to share & entertain happy kids with. But it's been easy coz it's comfortable & fun & HOME.

I love that this new place of ours has brought us all together more. We've made more excuses to get together, crack open a bottle of bubbly & simply enjoy family, friends & food.

 

Life is beautiful. Yes or No?

What brings your family together?
