Hello!
I am delighted that you are here and hope you are well and thriving.
It has been a couple of busy weeks here, with my husband, Matt, away for a little while to attend a conference in Queensland. Matt is a very ‘hands-on’ and loving husband to me and dad to our teenage children, Chloe, who is 17, and Tom, who is 15. He even took a whole year off work to spend with each of them when they were in kindergarten. So, when he goes away, not only do we miss him (including our cat Pearl), but I really ‘feel it’ as he is the master of juggling and household management (I know! - thank you Matt).
All in all, we managed fine. I cooked some meals in advance and intentionally took my foot off the pedal to allow space for more commitments on the home front. A decision well worth it, and I didn’t feel so overwhelmed at the end of the week, albeit just a little weary.
In Villagio news I am excited to announce our very first in-person gathering, which is happening this October. The Spring Huddle is going to be so very special and tickets go ON SALE TODAY - places are limited. All the details are below.
I hope you enjoy reading This August in our Village, and we look forward to meeting you in October.
Keep relishing those everyday moments,
