With the school holidays,
I was worried by how the kids might be bored and how we’d carry the extra burden of having to keep them busy.
But I’ve been amazed how these two keep finding things to do around the house.
“I wanted to give you a Christmas gift because I love you.”
If you’re a mother of young kids who frequently receives little notes and cards from your kids, you’ll know this is a natural part of their development.
But somehow, this particular handmade gift, customized and packaged, made me tear up.

A gift of homemade paper sandals
It was as if it was her way of saying, “By Christmas Mama, you’ll be healed perfectly to walk in these shoes.”
💛
These are the custom-made shoes our firstborn made for us. 🥲
“Why did you make these, my dear?”
“I wanted to give you a Christmas gift because I love.”
