K is for Keepsake: building a box of memories 

Have you seen the French movie Amélie? It is by far one of my most favourite movies ever, my go to for cheer ups, absolute feel good and for the love of Audrey Tatou. ❤

If you have indeed seen it you’d remember the memory box Amelie finds buried behind a loose tile in her bathroom, hidden by a boy 40 years ago. And in that box she finds faded photos from an era gone by, and a toy car among other things. This sets her thinking, imagining and going about fixing the world around her. It’s “all the feels” really. This is the precious scene from the movie Amelie I speak of.

And you are just about settling in to the comfort of each other and the life and routine you have built for yourselves as an individual and as one unit, and then suddenly BOOM. All that goes out of the window. Foundations shake, windows rattle and the paint begins to peel off.

But you still JUMP into motherhood, like its the most natural thing to do in life.
