Ok, whatever.
Here is a post on my home and my family.
My son, 1.5 years old, and into EVERYTHING!
He begins the day at the fairly respectable hour of 7am (ish), and from that moment on, is a ball of energy, stopping for a few hours at about lunch time...
He is lovely, and mischievous, and constantly testing the boundaries. There is a LOT of learning that comes from being a parent. One of my main struggles is guilt.
I met a friend the other day, who is doing a very similar thing to me in running her own business, and bringing up children. She hit the nail on the head with a comment on how guilty a working parent feels.
The old story of being self employed, so never really being able to leave work at work means that when you are with your family, you feel the guilt of not working on the business, and when working, there is the guilt of not being with your family. I still don't have the balance quite right, so this will hopefully settle down over time, but at the moment, the process is a wearying one!
My husband and I take turns to look after our son, so we avoid the childcare costs, which are quite hefty when one half of the couple is effectively not earning anything (beginning stages of running a business) and the other half works part time.
On the other hand, we both feel immensely grateful to get to spend such a decent amount of time with our son.
Anyhoo, enough about that. Here are a few family snaps, and a few photos taken from our bedroom.
Our house is built on a precariously perched section in a suburb of Wellington called Point Howard. Although I live in fear of a landslide or one of Wellingtons famous earthquakes, it does make for a spectacular view.
