Jan 1st 2013, here we are. Many have wished each other a Merry Christmas & sent each other wishes for a happy new year. If a wish is a hope for something, then wishes are things we all have. Do you think that if we could see the wishes people hold close to their hearts,...
A while ago we took the girls to the cinema to see the movie ‘Tangled’. They loved the film & the music. I have often heard Ava in bed at night singing the tunes from the movie. In brief summary of the film: Rapunzel is born with healing power in her hair. An evil woman...
I took this photo of Ava and Pete on fathers day last year. Both of our girls adore their dad. Recently I was in the living room & I could hear Ava talking to Pete in another room. I heard her ask, “Dad, can people get unmarried?”. I knew when I started having children that...
The first time we took Ava to Luna Park she was two & a half. She had spotted a Ferris wheel across the harbour & she was intrigued by it. She kept asking questions about it. We took her as a treat just after Anouk was born. I thought she might like it there, but...

We picked Ava up from school last Friday & decided to go somewhere filled with Autumn leaves to enjoy the end of the season together. It was there that the apple caused her tooth to finally fall out. She...

You told us this week that your favourite things are; pink, babies, escalators, ice cream, buses and berries (you said this...
Here in Australia, we have just finished the school holidays between term 1 & 2. Being Ava’s first year of school, they were our first school holidays ever. I’m so happy that she loves everything about school, but I was also happy to have her around for two weeks. Towards the end of the term I...
Good Friday in Sydney. The skates are hand me downs from my generous friend whose daughter grew out of them before they were even used. Have you ever owned something that you put off using & by the time you decided to use it, it was too late? I think most parents, including myself can relate to being...
Collected with my camera yesterday while the day was in motion. Inspiration is never much further than our eye can see.
