My full name is…
Holly Yee Laan McCauley.
But my friends call me…
Holly, Hols.
My home in the hills is…
Reached via a few river crossings and terrible roads, but it's also become our little sanctuary.
The scent of home is…
Last night's cooking, wet ground, dried tree bark and palo Santo when I remember to burn it.
The perfect morning…
Sunshine on the face, content and well-fed children, nowhere to rush to.
I express creativity…
Through my home, cooking, to my kids, through my outlook on life.
My favourite place on earth…
Anywhere with my partner and family, I haven't been to enough places yet to know my favourite.
The most important lesson motherhood has taught me…
That the world is bigger than just you, we are part of an infinite line of mothers and we have the wisdom we need.
This year I want to learn…
How to take better care of myself, coming to the end of the year and I'm not there yet!
I am moved by…
People who try to make change.
I feel womanly when…
In the ocean.
I am expecting…
Playing outside on the farm all summer long.
I crave…
At the moment, sugar and rest.
I care for myself…
With boundaries.
My favourite colour…
Brown, all the shades of my daughters.
My favourite childhood memory…
A swinging crystal pendulum creating rainbows in the window, incense burning, rain on hot pavement, dry clothes on a warm sandy body.
Currently I’m listening to…
Leonard Cohen.
Our family tradition…
We don't have any yet!
I am hopeful for…
The next generation.
I am looking forward to…
Becoming a family of 5.
