At Home
This girl. So close to me, all day. Curled up on the couch with her feet on my legs, softly stroking my arm with her little hand. Playing with her dolls right next to me, letting me hold them while she makes them tea. Brushing my hair and trying to put ribbons in there, which I proudly wear all day. Playing with her brothers. Teasing them sometimes. And singing. Always singing.
They are still at home these days. All three of them are still a bit sick. And I have to say I secretly enjoy it. The long conversations. The slow pace. The cuddles in the middle of an activity. I know they love their friends and can't wait to get back to school, but for my own selfish enjoyment I sometimes almost wished it was possible to homeschool in this country.
My name is Karin. I sew, cook and
take pictures. I tell stories. I dream. I love books, fashion, hot
baths, conversations that make me re-think my ideas and opinions. I
fantasize and realize. And above and beyond all, I am mama to
Lucas, Sarah and Olivier.
