What we woke up to this morning

Apparently the colour of the day is ORANGE!, who knew??


Something to calm the soul

Poor little Sabrina bean hasn’t been doing much of this lately. In fact for the last week she hasn’t slept at all unless she’s in the arms of someone she trusts. Three times last week I had to take her out of our bed and sit rocking her in the dark and oh so eerily [...]

These are the photos that Alanah my 7 year old took this weekend, sorry I think she was feeling creative.


A little DIYTLC

Poor neglected House has gotten some long over due attention today. My trusty little assistant and I began the exfoliation treatment this morning while Sabi slept. I have to admit, I’ve been putting off this job. I spent most of my youth scraping wall paper off the walls at my parents house. Scraping their wall [...]


The solution to the traffic light problem

New summer sandals bring with them the promise of picnics by the river, barbeques at friends houses, long hot evenings full of community and adventure. Oh yeah they also remind us that November is just around the corner. November is the month of madness in our [...]

We were invited to watch Lani’s cousin perform on stage in a musical extravaganza. The night was a thrilling experience for the little Pink Photographer with the most important point, needing to be noted down for posterity, being the time that we pulled away from the drive. 8:00pm Lani’s bed time, on the dot.


A conversation in the car

This started with one of those convoluted conversations revolving around self identity questions, Who are my people? Where do I fit in? Where was I before I existed? You know, the little stuff kids are always asking.


I spy something blossoming

I came across this cute little I spy meme at Cindy’s the theme something blossoming was picked by Holly. I’m not normally this literal.
