It’s my favourite time of the week. 4:30pm Friday. Almost time to leave the office and go home to my gorgeous little family. And be grateful it’s the weekend. 3 nights and 2 full days of family time lay ahead of me.

Bubba’s gorgeous smile of delight, throwing her arms up in the air for me to lift her up for a cuddle when I pick her up from daycare. The smell of her and the warmth of her. Her beautiful soft skin snuggled into mine.

The raucous noise when we arrive home of dogs running up and down the hallway, unable to hide their excitement and pure joy that the rest of their pack has returned home. The wagging tails, the ‘arooooo, arooooo’ as Beary tells us he’s happy where home and relays stories from his day. The thud, thud, thud as Bella’s tail wags so hard I fear it may fall off – a toy hanging from her snout which she has selected especially as a welcome home gift for us.

Love. Pure. Joyful. Delicious. What a lucky mumma I am.

I hope your weekends are filled with happiness and love too.
