Well, we’re back in NZ, hooray!!! I love being here, even though it has rain incessantly since we arrived and it is FREEZING cold. It is great looking out the window and seeing green plants an...
Well, our time here is just about up, and I am so snowed under! Our life has been whittled down to the absolute bare essentials. Anything that is not dearly loved or an absolute necessity has been s...
Day 22: Hands Wow, I’m so behind on this photography challenge! As if moving countries wasn’t enough to keep us busy, Noah decided to stick a teeny tiny Lego City police car light up his...
Day 15: Silhouette My 30 day challenge is more like 1, 2 miss a few, 29… But, the moving is all in hand, and that is that main thing. Only two and a bit weeks to go till the big day.
Day 14: Eyes Love this kid!
When Sam was nearly a year old, we decided it was time to move him out of the nursery and away from the master bedroom. By this time he was sleeping through the night, but he was still waking us wit...
Day 11: Something Blue He’ll run around all day like this
Day 9: Someone I Love I think I may have taken this the day before. Never mind, I love him every day of the month. This was taken at the end of 3 weeks of rain and he was pretty fed up with inside ...
Day 8: A Bad Habit
Day 6: From a Low Angle Eww… dog slobber.
Day 5: From a High Angle
Images courtesy of Gallop Lifestyle I received a lovely email from Annie of Gallop Lifestyle the other day, commenting on the crochet rug that I purchased from the store a few months back, thanks Ann...
Day 2: What I wore today Yikes, this photo challenge is getting away on me already! Here are a few to catch up. I think they suitably reflect my lack of time. It’s like handing in a...
Ta da! One of the (main) reasons for my blog-absence over the past few months has been how bogged down in renovations we have been. Every spare moment has been devoted to cleaning, painting, tilin...
Wow. Long time, no photos. Totally out of practice. Day 1: Self Portrait Me with all the junk quality gear at bargain prices, for our garage sale.
I’m in desperate need of inspiration! All this moving business is hard work! I picked up my camera yesterday and snapped some photos of the kids. When I went to download them, I realised it ...
Wow, I just looked at my last post date and it was 6 weeks ago. I’m not quite sure where that time went. I wish I could tell you I had lots of great material for you, but I don’t. We&#...
Sam celebrated his very first birthday with a bunny theme party. I had a little bit (by little, I mean a lot) of help with this one, thanks to my super talented sister, Tess, who is a baker extraord...
Wow, little blog, has it really been two years already? I’m sorry I forgot your birthday, if it’s any consolation, I have also forgotten every single one of my wedding anniversary’...
The events that have unfolded in Christchurch this week have been astounding. Looking at footage and talking to friends and family in the city has been eye-opening, but it’s difficult to fully...
Our absolute “must-do” for our NZ holiday was the Tongariro Crossing. This was to be my third attempt, as weather intervened on both the other occasions. It can get pretty ugly up there...
When I was a kid, Motuoapa was a sleepy little village, 10 or 15 minutes drive north of Turangi. New subdivisions are pushing Motuoapa back up the hill, and with new homes popping up left, right and...
I’m back, but this computer could go at any moment, so if I disappear off the radar again… well, you know. So, while this piece of “er-hmm” is playing the game, here are some...
Hi Everyone, Sadly my laptop, after two short years, has had it’s day and is irrepearable. Gone are the days where computers lasted for ages. I remember our little Amiga 500 going for years. ...
My Mum took the kids and I for a drive in the country around Palmerston North. When I was growing up, I always thought it was a really blah place to live and couldn’t wait to get out (I suspec...
…with a lot of excess luggage and a dose of good old Kiwi gastro. Aside from becoming intimately acquainted with the toilet, which (needless to say) was not the highlight, we did have an amazi...
Sunday in Bed The festive season has arrived with bells ringing and glasses clinking (in our house, at least!). Our holiday officially starts tomorrow when my husband arrives from Australia to join ...
Earlier this week, we took the kids to Ashley Park to get up close to some gorgeous animals. Having lived in the Mighty Manawatu for the first 18 years of my life, and travelling past here for 30, ...
Wow, Christmas really is getting close now. I know retail stores have been celebrating since way back in October, but most of the families I know are only just starting to decorate the tree – ...
I promised you all a little look at the heirloom quilt I made recently for a friends baby boy. I managed to tidy up the trim and finish it off the weekend before I left for New Zealand and Mike jus...
