Egg hunt at Grandma and Granda’s

Mum and Dad’s backyard is a wonderland of nooks and crannies of hidden corners and jungle like growth. Adventure beckons blossoming imaginations in the rubble of old building projects, the fractured remnants of structures long ago moved, altered or torn down.  Even in the ordinary plod along days the kids adore going there but Easter [...]


Easter 2011

This is where we found Eli Easter morning I guess he was keen to start the lounge room egg hunt. We have never encouraged our children to believe in the Easter bunny or Santa for that matter, I feel it’s lying and as a Christian I can’t justify it in my mind.  The bible clearly [...]

Thursday was our 10th Wedding anniversary. It’s funny really, we fell in love as penniless uni students and for a brief second entertained the idea of waiting, saving, establishing ourselves before tying the knot.

My place and yours: green

Green wall and my favourite green skirt totally crumpled and unironed, sorry Mum. And a beautiful super sweet bonnet for Sabrina made my the very talented Tabitha at Small Things which I can’t wait to try on my buba but can’t because she’s at her Grandma’s. Beware, expect a ton of posed bonnet photo’s come [...]

The Ball and the Signpost

In case any of you were still worried by yesterdays post I thought you might like to see Lillian’s artwork glued and painted. And with all its gaudy friends.
