Works of art…

By On · 15 Comments · In blog

Today is mothers day in Australia and I wanted to acknowledge my 2 incredible, little ratbags, Jesse Red and Indigo.

I learn from you 2 little crazy cat’s, on a daily basis and you teach me considerably more, than I do, you. You have called me to be softer, more creative, more selfless, more determined and much more of the woman I always wanted to be, but never knew how to get there.

So thank you, my gorgeous little monkeys, for being so utterly delightful and for inspiring me to continually grow…..

Let the adventure continue.

    Such an incredibly beautiful photo Vashti..one to surely treasure. You’re little ratbags are two of the sweetest I have ever seen. Happy Mother’s Day to you! This will be my first one without my mom as I ushered her out of this world into another beautiful one to again be by her mother’s side on Jan 17, 2012. Rest in peace mom. I sure do miss you. God bless you Vashti. Enjoy your day! Hug your kids over and over. They are your heart.

    Good morning – to the most inspiring Mum of all …. Vashti – your two beautiful kids are lucky to have you too. You are teaching us daily on how to be brighter, bolder, happier and indeed how not to forget how lucky we are to be Mum’s in the first place. Happy Mum’s day to you and all your friends in Oz – xxx

    happy mothers day!! This kind of days always make me think about how our grandmas managed to cook, make the housekeep, the laundry, etc etc etc without getting mad at all!! I have 4 children and, really, I think I don’t have enough time to spend with each of them, to give each one what he or she deserves,
    although I have a wonderful girl that take care of my little 17 months old twins in the mornings and do all the things that they allow to her, around the house, while I am working. So, the only thing I have to do on evenings is spend my time with them, but every day I go to bed thinking I haven’t done enough for them, I haven’t attempt them in all the ways they need, but perhaps it is very early, they are too little , they need too many things, or I want to do too many things so, I’m never satisfied, or maybe I’m not too much realistic when I pretend have my own time to read or to write, f.e. these few words in this wonderful blog. The case is that I’m afraid someday I’ll wake up and I’ll think how in the hell I’ve spent my time and where I was then… maybe I want to get too many things, but… I refused to be I common mom that the only thing she can talk about is the meal her kids eat or how they sleep. So, this is my great dilemma becouse the day has only 24 hours: to be a perfect mom, or a mediocre mom with a little parcel for her… what do you think, my dear friends?

      Great question Elena, one that all modern moms think about. In my situation, I try to balance things a bit. I decided or at least life has lead me on a career path so I know I need to work smart so I can have some quality time with my daughter who seems satisfied with not much just as long as I’m fully present. Hope that helps and thanks for posting such thought provoking post.

    Happy mothers day from one mother to another,,,, I’m blessed with three girls and one boy..I feel exactly like you do with wanting to be a woman but not exactly how to..they are my life and my soul..being a single mom is the hardest….they test me and try my patience especially when my three girls are all teenagers with one graduating in June..I never knew how I would handle all the stuff teenage girls throw at ya but somehow it all came natural I just spoke from my heart and remembered my youth and how I was at that age….we have our ups and downs and our disagreements but in the end they know that I am the way I am for them…and its all worth every minute of it…so again Happy Mothers Day Vashti! Enjoy and much love from Cincinnati, Ohio in the USA,,

    I was inspired by this so I recognized my 11 year old today for the gift she is and made sure she knows it! Thanks Vashti, and happy mums day!

    you’re kids are so cute and their soul shines so brightly in the photos just like their father. I know mothers day has passed but that is ok because mothers day is everyday. I’ve been trying to earn the right of being a mother for a long time now with no luck. I’m nearing 39 but who says a 40 year old couldn’t give birth!? so I’m still hoping.
