As I set off this afternoon to pick up my cheeky minxes from school/kinder, I espied some graffiti under my window sill. Graffiti is nothing new to me. My girls are prolific in the art of texta/crayon/pencil/biro/jelly/lipstick/chocolate cookie/yoghurt autographs. Since becoming a mother I have long given up my Dream of having clean white walls and white furnishings, like the images I swoon over in interior design magazines and my Fantasy pinboards on Pinterest.
But this graffiti, dear readers, is here to stay.
A love note from one of my mischievous daughters.
The 3 words they hear most often from their mother.
I LOVE YOU
Do you have gifted graffiti artists leaving surprise love notes around your home too?

Oh, that's so gorgeous! My munchkins arne't big enough to write words yet... though I did get some lead pencil squiggles on teh wall one day. Has not happened again. :)
Will you be keeping it on the wall, or trying to erase it?
Oooh, love the lead pencil squiggles! I think this'll be a Keeper, Hayley. It'd break my heart to remove it xxx
This reminds me of Andy Pausch (author of 'The Last Lecture") when he tells a story of how his parents let him decorate his bedroom walls in whatever way he saw fit. He used to write mathematical equations. poetry etc all through-out his childhood on his walls and his parents kept it that way....I just admired the way his parents allowed him to be so free and unrestrained as a child - its an unconventional approach because a lot of us would freak!
Now your family has a story and visible token of love to share and be reminded of., always. Beautiful x
So sweet! What an angel! You raise them well xx
