…I’ve been feeling extremely tired and needing to rest whenever the boys are down. I’ve had to focus on less rather than more. The days are rolling by slowly yet also blurring into each other. I’ve been watching Rick work long days and long nights, every day. He is one amazing man, my husband. The boys are growing up day by day, and constantly amusing me with their endless antics. I just love how they have each other.

My friends call me Ronnie, and you can too. I'm a graphic designer who secretly aspires to be a writer. I live in Sydney with my man, Rick, and four of our five little boys. I love memory keeping, and I'm bit of a neat freak. This year, I'm learning to live more simply. I've been blogging for ten years now, and love how it keeps me sane. Grab a cup of tea, and have a browse. It's lovely to have you here.

I love siblings.
I have an older brother who lives far away now, but it was always nice when we were in college and lived together.. we had such a great time.
(it wasn’t always great though haha)
love the photos, as always<3
That’s really cool Sammy. I never had siblings as I’m an only child, so I just love watching the boys with each other.

Sometimes you just need a mental break from everything hey! I too have slowed down in the few days and not pushing myself as I would normally do! And the weather has been so gorgeous so it has been not too hard to do :) Hope you feel more energised soon x
Thanks Lamina! I’ve definitely been learning to take it slowly this month…. Am only onto my second project of the month and there’s only a few days left!

I’m feeling the same Ronnie, I’m bearly managing 2 posts a week at the moment – time is so limited (and precious) and the work and prep that go into a post is probably not obvious to people who visit me!. Anyway, I’m tired, its the time of year here in the UK, the change of season from Summer to Autumn, the change in weather from warm to wet and cold, the change in time from light to dark … its always makes me just want to curl up and hide away – I so understand why little animals hibernate! I need to grow into the season, once I get going, I love it – so much fun and celebration to look forward to and lots of lovely wintery clothes to layer up …
Oh my gosh, I completely agree, Emma! It does make a lot of since… that definitely explains a lot. Why I’m so tired… and wanna curl up in bed and enjoy a good book… yet my mind is so READY for the fall. And all the festivities and things to look forward to. :) The transition from Summer to Fall is definitely a big one!
I know what you mean about all the work that goes into a post. Sometime last month I decided I wasn’t going to keep killing myself to post every single day. It’s just not compatible with my stage of life right now, and that’s okay… we need to do what’s right by us and our families.

I’ve been feeling the same as well… My mind has been so over-active yet my body is telling me to slooooow down. I don’t blame you for taking a little time off, to rest up. I can’t imagine how busy your life is… and all the running around you must do. Those little boys, I’m sure, require a lot of energy. :P BUT! It’s so cool that they are so close in age… reminds me of my sisters and I… we were all so close that we often spent hours together playing… I’m sure it allowed my mom to take plenty of breaks. :)
Thanks for your constant encouragement Latrina! Even though the boys are still so little, they already play with each other really well. It’s truly a blessing!

Thanks Isobel, so wonderful to have you here. I’m glad you stopped by. Your blog is lovely too! (Not sure if my comments showed up okay.)

Hope you find your energy again soon Ronnie. Being a mamma to three energetic boys must take so much out of you. Rest-up. xx
Thanks Laura! I’m napping sooo much these days, it’s not funny.

Ronnie, I’m not too shocked that you feel tired sometimes – you have three active boys to chase around! Take care of yourself :)
Wilco. :)

I’ve been feeling the same way. It must have something to do with the change from summer to fall, like Emma said. I’ve found it so helpful to require less of myself at times like this, as opposed to beating myself up for doing less and making myself feel worse. Take care of you, dear.
p.s. that last shot is just amazing!!!!!
Thanks Wendy!!

Take care Ronnie, I think it’s normal to feel exhausted when you have 3 little boys to look after! Rest up whenever you can.
Thanks Trishie, and thanks for your email too. :)

Beautiful pictures. It’s just so good to recharge the body and mind.
Absolutely. We just need it.
