An Interview with Matilda

 I thought giving Matilda an interview would be fun.

 I got my inspiration, and a few of my questions from the very lovely "Carried Family" blog.
The photos are just to remind me that it is actually meant to be Summer still  here in rainy old England :)

  5. That is absolutely fantastic! What a beautiful, clear soul. I like how the interview shows that she feels free to say exactly what she thinks. Such a gift you are giving her, raising her to have that confidence.

    P.S. Your book has arrived! But I haven't had a quiet moment to savour it yet.

  10. Such a beautiful read. This is a treasure that you have created here. Your photos are gorgeous, full of the vibrancy of your subject.

  11. You don't know me but I get so artfully inspired by your blog. The words and pictures are ministering to my soul. Thank you. I love that you love your family and are so grounded. So many moms these days are pulled off kilter with technology. I am noticing myself often pulled that way and that still small voice calls me back when that happens. I sometimes wonder if I should pull the plug.

    I hope you are able to bind your posts into a heirloom for your children to see later.

    Now I am off to have a sweet conversation with Jesus that I know will refresh my purpose and sort out all the things buzzing around in my mind. Take care.

I treasure each and every one of your comments.
Your kind words never fail to bring a smile to my face:)
At the moment I am going through a busy season of life with 5 girls under my wing! I may not always be able to respond immediately but please know that every word left here is read and appreciated deeply.
