New beginnings

This is our new beginning. Our Family of three has been though a lot in the past year: We moved into what we had hoped to be our Forever home, a old house on two and a half acres of land where Liam could grow up surrounded by nature on our homestead. A motorcycle accident that left my husband a paraplegic. Driving two plus hours a day to be at the hospital with him for almost a month. Making the heart breaking decision to leave our farm and move close to the hospital for the rest of his four month stay and then moving to a wheelchair friendly condo in a medium sized city where we have access to rehab and support.

We have been very lucky too find like minded people here and we are starting to find some rhythm in our new life. It was hard to find a new propose, moving from our homestead to a condo with no outdoor space.

I have found making a thoughtful move towards creativity very helpful. Things that i did not have time for before like sewing, reading and art have become renewed loves.

Our son is at an age now,(two this fall) that he is starting to be creative in his play and learning. Its wonderful to make toys and do soul enricher things together like making bread or planting our window garden. I have also found that I have to be much more creative with my parenting so to handle a little person with his own strong will. It had been great to have found other parents that follow a more Natural, Attachment style parenting. It has been a big inspiration.

This blog is for me to share this new chapter of my life and all the creativity i can bring into it.
