The Mothers || Jayde + Finn + Ari

Natural | Extraordinary | Everyday | Inspirational | Mothers

In my life, I am surrounded by down to earth, beautiful and simply, quite extraordinary women. All of which I have had the utmost privilege standing by their sides as they too, made the transition from womanhood to motherhood. Every woman's journey is unique and equally as incredibly mind blowing. My friends are a powerful inspiration and motivation in my own life, so much so, I'd love to share a little insight into some of the spirited women influencing my journey, and thus, potential yours.

I plan to make a series of pieces on these incredible women, named, The Mothers.

 First up, I'd like to present 

Jayde

 Finn

Ari


















A few words to sum up the beautiful creature that is Jayde.

Salt of the earth. Naturally, effortlessly beautiful and bold.

There is just something about Jayde. She is one of those spectacular people you cannot help but gravitate towards. Those blue eyes are always shining bright, smile always welcoming, her laughter, contagious... Frankly, happiness just radiates around her.

 Jayde's mothering style is hollistically wholesome. From her maternal nurturing grace, to the warmth of her welcoming abode, to the handmade backyard chicken coop, right down to her simply, live simple, infectious attitude.

Jayde, once a travelling, ocean worshipping, carefree spirit, is now all of the above, plus a fantastically strong, yet gentle, mother to two incredibly sweet little dudes.

These boys are growing up on fresh air, clean food, strong morals, deep family bonds, and exuberant amounts of unadulterated fun. 

Jayde's earthy, wholesome, nurturing attitude towards motherhood is admirable. She really embraces the importance of what is real and true to life ~ simply - love, nature, family. What else do you really need?

October in the tropics.

>--||--->  Summer is nigh  <--||---<

October in the tropics.

It is a swift reminder that we have sombrely kissed the cool mornings of the dry season goodbye.

The hazy afternoons lead into balmy tropical evenings and warmth of the day leave our house cozy by night.

Shrieks of sweet laughter echo between the walls into the early eve, as the days grow longer...bed time is prolonged. 

October is admittedly the grandest month of them all, I may be somewhat bias, as my own birthday falls within these some 31 days, alongside a bevy of beautiful fellow Libran friends. 

So in true celebratory spirit, may this month be filled with days saturated in sunshine, sand encrusted hair, ocean gazing, garden picnics and fairy hunting through rainforest jungles. 

The time is nigh for outdoor exploration all the way up here in Far North Queensland. So, take your babe by the hand, kiss the sea & the skies, & enjoy this perfect time of year.

Here's to the impending summer!
