Can we just take a moment to breathe?

It’s the final night of half term.

Lunchboxes are back on the counter. Uniforms are laid out. Somewhere, a shoe is still missing (because of course it is). But before tomorrow rushes in - let’s pause.

This week wasn’t about doing everything. For me, it was about letting the kids rest. Slowing down the rhythm. Watching them stay in their PJs a little longer. Hearing laughter spill from the living room while I pretended not to care that the cushions were on the floor.

And yes, there were playdates and endless snacks and moments that tested every bit of patience. But still- they rested. They breathed. And that felt like enough.

As they head back to school tomorrow, I’m whispering a quiet prayer for all our little ones:

That they walk with confidence.

That they find joy in learning.

That they feel loved and safe, always.

And for us - grace.

To keep showing up, not perfectly, but presently.

Here’s to the second half of term, calmer mornings, kinder days, and tiny moments of peace between it all. 🌿

With love,
