Recently I was sent this incredible childrens book, Operational Alphabet, by the Ministry of Letters. Its a creative and charming tale, beautifully illustrated and printed on gorgeous stock. Inspirat...
When making such claims to shoot outfits daily for a week, I should have first confirmed the use of a photographer for this task. I cant say PB was too impressed when asked to participate this aftern...
Recently, two items came into my possession and since then I cant fathom how I ever got dressed in the morning prior to their arrival. Has that ever happened to you?This army shirt was the result of ...
Some recent iPhone pics. Im close to starting a tumblr for all these – the only thing thats stopping me is I cant quite decide on a (design) theme.Tomorrow is Mothers Day here in Oz. Sadly my dear mu...
Hello! Still here. Just lost a bit of my blogging mojo. Considering calling it an official break but still hanging in there. (Mainly to document sewing triumphs. Theres a very controversial pair of t...
Two important events happened last Monday. BB received her first bike (and has since been tearing down hills scrapping up her legs even further) and I made a real, concerted, conscious effort to star...
Jill, her kids, my kid and finally – the pineapple skirt.Weve got a good early Saturday morning routine going lately, Im so lucky to be able to hang out with these guys and partake in their malarkey.
Our weekend is a Monday, one measly day that usually goes tits-up.But today we managed to get it just right.
BB: Mummy, check the time is?Me: What is the time?BB: I dont know have no got a watch on.Me: Have a look at BabciasBB: (glancing in general direction of my mums arm) Fiiiirrrty minutes!BB: This one n...
Theres a slew of photos from the last week with Babcia, but for now her departure is too fresh for me to sit down and edit them without tears (and hysterical sobs). I have, however, been trying to ge...
PB decided to open the cafe over Easter, so were bunkering down with Babcia (who flew in a couple of days ago), cooking up a Polish Easter feast and hangin in the Autumn sun. I hope you all have a ha...
Inside or out, always naked, usually jumping.Today marks the end of daylight savings and the end of my favourite month of the year.So long March, see you in 2013.xxx
We headed up the coast on Sunday evening to visit a couple of PBs old mates (and their spectacularly overgrown never-ending yard) and stopped by The Beetle Shack on our way back to Sydney. I was tell...
Ive noticed a strong correlation between having a meltdown and getting a pedicure, it seems when ordered out of the house for bad behavior I cant think of anything else to do. (Like the dark blue? I ...
Last week BB turned 2 and this week PB turned 32. Since her party shes been singing Happy Birthday non-stop and was well practiced to belt out a solo for her papa, ukelele accompaniment and all.He ce...
I recently received a thoughtful and beautifully written email from Karina, the girlfriend of childrens book author Travis Nichols. His third book has recently been released and due to the current fi...
Ive heard many mothers say, every age is the best age. For me, that statement is untrue. Despite loving BB with my whole being through every developmental stage over the last two years, from about 7 ...
I was recently asked by Sunbeam if I would be interested in receiving their new digital iron. My initial thoughts were Why would I want an iron? I haaaate ironing. Then it occurred to me that our cur...
The weather played havoc with BBs on-again-off-again party, eventually on-again but with a smaller crowd that had not re-planned their day from the earlier off-again status.Unfortunately my parents c...
BB and her little mate, age two (approximately). Only marginally easier to capture than their one year old portrait.In these photos they have styled themselves and coincidentally both opted for balle...
Last night I had the absolute pleasure of meeting up with these two ladies for dinner. This is the second time Ive been out for an evening since BBs birth – almost two years ago. In both instances po...
I walked past this Garage Sale twice yesterday, the first time I managed to keep going but on the way home I was lured in. I picked up a couple of books for BB, a hand-knitted cream beanie and a soft...
The creative team behind the beautiful Aussie shoe label The Horse, have recently launched their baby sister company for the smaller soled, Jonah and the Girl. They were kind enough to send me some c...
Thank you for recent comments and emails. The post has now been removed, and I hope that anyone that felt offended has since been able to understand the framework in which it happened, and is content...
This is and has always been a private blog. The indented audience is my family and friends, however I understand that people from different countries and cultures visit here.There was no ill intent w...
Happy Valentines Day!Ive always been opposed to fuss on days like this, and while Im not about put in an order for some long-stemmed red roses, Im starting to see the value in celebrating. Its an opp...
A little while ago – actually it was last October if Im honest – I announced my bold foray into garment sewing, and finally after hours of stitching and unpicking Ive made myself a top. It was certai...
Finally got around to dusting off the kit lens to take a few snaps (while the 50mm still awaits its fate...) Despite the recent sunshine theres still been a helluva lot of rain to contend with. I tri...
Sometimes I feel like a broken record on here, harping on about how our weeks are long and hard and sweet moments like this are few. But they exist and for that I am grateful, everyday.I was asked a ...
The last lot of holiday pics – that Im posting, there are many more – taken at Gardenworld. I spent many hours here as a child while my folks perused, and not surprisingly I remember it being a lot b...
