Coming out of a long weekend away, spoilt with some real R&R, I'm reminded that time is precious, your time is precious, make sure you spend time with the people who invest time in you too.
Relationships are a 2 way street and there needs to be a give and take.
What did you do this weekend?

While we were gone, everyone got so big!
The inspiration behind Quinns, the reason for picking myself up and being brave everyday, inspiration, love like no other and the biggest challenge I have ever undertaken is being a mom.

Being a mom to 2 very rambunctious, strong willed, go getters, has kept me on my toes and learning about life and myself at every turn. They are the reason my world goes round, and its flashing past so quickly, its hard to juggle life and soak up every milestone and moment with them, but it's important to try.

To make sure you have perspective and remember what is the centre of your being, what makes you happy, what makes you tick, sometimes that even means taking so time to reassess what that is.

Sometimes dancing in your gumboots in the mud, is exactly what you should be focusing on, let the noise of the outside world die down and fade away. Appreciate the little things, the fleeting moments, where you get a glimpse into what's really important and how precious that is.
So here is a glimpse into my world and what is precious to me.

So.. It's been awhile! Boy alot has happened!
We've been quiet, taking stock, the last 2 years have been a journey for most people, and the world looks so different to what it did.
Norms have changed, perspectives have shifted, priorities have become clearer.
Quinns, for those of you who don't know, was born out of necessity. I found myself, a working mom of 2 having the carpet wiped out from underneath me. I was retrenched from my job, along with so many others. It was a scary time, as the chances of finding something else when everybody was letting people go, not taking people on, needing to get creative with how to keep the wolves from the door!

Quinns was an idea that spoke to a place I am in my life, with my 2 small kids, feed my creativity in a way that I had never been able to pursue, and expanded my experience into areas I had never gone, in terms of owning and running a business.
It worked out well, I started and through lots of blood, sweat and tears, and an enormous amount of support from those around me, I created a purpose that was so much more than work.
That was until opportunity came knocking again as the world slowly came out of its Covid - coma.
I was extremely fortunate to be offered a job, that I couldn't turn down. So the last 11 months have been a personal exploration and expansion in a different way, learning a new position and finding myself again in a corporate world.

Quinns never down tools, I have been keeping it bubbling over in the background, but needed time to focus on getting my feet back underneath me.
But its time to dust off things and get back in touch with you!

So here we are! You won't hear from us as often, but we are here and we are going to be making some changes, so stayed tuned, we are coming back at you!
Get in touch, we love to hear from you!

Happy Family Day!
My little family of Bunnies is full up on Chocolate, and is spending the day re-enacting the hunt, I don't know how many more times those poor marshmellow eggs can be hidden and found!

Are you having to re-enact multiple Egg hunts?

Enjoy the day!

There is some great excitement in our household for the upcoming festivities. It's amazing with the second child, how there's no having to tell them what is going on and what to do, they have already picked it all up from the older one!
I remember with my son having to spell everything out, even the part about you being able to eat the eggs that you find, but this time around, there is no explaining, only great anticipation over the upcoming hunt!

What are you doing for your hunt? do you have clues set up, a civilized treasure hunt for the prize, or is it an all out free for all of mad running around and grabbing all the eggs, and then they are shared out at the end?

Tell us what your plans are?

Have you ever felt like its all just overwhelming? Like you are getting lost in the fray? When seeing the bigger picture seems like an impossible task.
It seems that there is a lot of uncertainty and mess in the world at the moment, where you are living on faith and hoping for the best, but that also makes everyday chaos get on top of you. Like your glass of things that you can cope with just got too full.
It takes an enormous amount of strength of character to remember that this is only a chapter, something that you will look back on, and wonder how you made it through, but you did, you made it through. Its part of your story, but not the whole thing.
Breathe, this too shall pass, and you will be stronger, braver and smarter because of it, hang in there Mama.
