It’s been 7 years 2 months and 11 days since I became a mother. Ok so technically I had a whole 37 weeks before that too but let’s face it I still had absolutely no idea what was about to hit me. The insane amount of love I was about to be encompassed by and the fact that like it or not it would change me, and my ordinary everyday, forever.
When it comes to Easter Bonnets, well craft in general actually, I am all about the understated. How to make something easy and effective with the help of children and perhaps maybe even beautiful whilst you’re at it and I am all ears! I am also a big fan of letting children make things themselves, which, I hear you say, may not go hand in hand with beautiful and understated! Well I am here to tell you that it can…with the right persuasion. And by that I mean surrounding them with the right tools for the job.
“Anything you can do I can do better. I can do anything better than you.” This good old ‘Annie Get Your Gun’ classic pretty much sums up my two at the moment. Thankfully not in a spiteful or even bickering way (although of course there’s always a little of that thrown in for good measure) but in a really joyful and positive way. Life is better together and for Roma specifically everything is a competition…even when it most definitely is not!
