We celebrated Solstice (I know it was a wee while ago) by giving the house and ourselves a nice smudging with white sage. We also wrote a list of things we wanted to bring in (no, not an ipod touch) to our lives as well as things we wanted to release (no, not grumpy siblings) from our lives. This list was then burnt in a little fire in our sacred family circle outside in the garden .
Fortunately, some wanted to bring more cooking into their lives (lucky us).
Guess what? It's working. We've had homemade pizzas and salads the past couple of nights to all of our glee (especially mummy doesn't have to cook tonight me).
Not that this will be a daily (or nightly ) thing. However, I am VERY impressed, grateful and in awe.
We've done all of this stuff before. And I know that there is great power in taking the time to create intention. It just feels like everyone in the house was into it this year. Everyone was together and in the same space and again, I had one of those, "is this REALLY happening? am I REALLY allowed to be in and have a family like THIS?" moments.
I really hope to remember these moments better and better this year. As we all know there are often many OTHER moments in between.
Savour the sweetness...
What a lovely, lovely idea! Glad you're back blogging - missed u xx

Cooking with kids is both creative and exhausting, when you add clean up to the equation. My 14 year old can now actually cook a meal! Amazing!

I love those moments when all seems right with the world. I had to chuckle at your "No IPod touch" comment....we had that conversation here, too :) Happy New Year!
