Having the Mini Divas is a journey of ups and downs, banana covered carpets and a house resembling a crime scene.

It is full of love, warmth and learning too – for me as well as them. Those little ladies bring me so much joy, and some reminders of what is important in life.

This is what I learn from my daughters:

• rain means splashing in puddles

• everytime you see something new it is exciting

• repeat to learn, and be wide-eyed and eager

• explore and try things out., the world is full of unknowns

• each day is simple with no stress and is only for play, love and family. What a brilliant ideal.

• a smile means so much

• a cuddle means even more

• mini people are magnets of our bad traits and habits- time to work on those for their sake and ours?

• the act of play is so satisfying

• songs make the heart sing too

• time out to play is worth so much more than housework

• being messy is great – and paint and mud aren’t dirt it’s part of play

• innocence was there once

• laughter is magical

• shampoo really does foam up a lot when a whole bottle goes in the bath…

Small people are amazing. Thank you, Mini Divas.
