Grateful… for everything Pete has done while I have been recovering from an injury. He’s a very good dad to our girls. He made sure everything was taken care of… even brushing the girls hair…. which is not easy with our little Anouk because she is not a fan of the hair brush & is...
These images from the past three days of my ‘photo a day’ project really tell the story of what is happening in my world right now. The joyful days of play, the step by step preparing for school, the ever growing bond between sisters. Every day they are growing closer & closer. They have moments...
The trampoline was a gift from their Gran & Grandpa for Christmas. They are on it every day. At first Anouk wouldn’t get on while Ava was on it, because she got bounced around too much. After a week she decided it was too hard to wait until Ava had finished her turn, so she quickly...
Taking a picture of my children each day this month means that as I watch my day unfold, I am looking to find the very thing that day, that will write part of their story. The story of January 2012. I am not taking photo’s all day long & then choosing a picture at the...
I love that at any time of the day, she paints. She paints with the very same brushes I was painting with when my waters broke with her in my belly. I still haven’t finished that painting. I’ve been a little distracted for the 5 years that have followed that labour. I’ll paint again…. but...
1st January 2012… 1st January 2011… I love that with one picture I can see the things that have changed over a year & the things that have remained the same. Ava went from 4 to 5. Anouk went from 1.5 to 2.5. In that year I have seen Ava grow to the point where...
Just a few of the things I loved about this Christmas… taking our girls into the city to see the big tree, Anouk pretending to be Mary with baby Jesus, reading them the story of Christmas & asking Anouk many times who’s birth we celebrate at Christmas only for her to answer every time “yours...
There’s a story behind every baby’s arrival into the world. Each story as unique as the babies themselves. Molly is from a family of story tellers & one day Molly will hear the stories that lead to her birth. She will hear the stories of tears… & joy. She will hear of the two women...
On Monday we had some fun making a Christmas corner at home. The girls hung the decorations on the tree and we made a paper chain to hang over the fire place. Last year we placed our Christmas books in a basket by the tree & read a Christmas story each night in December. We...

Lisa I’ve just looked at all your photos from January and now I’m feeling very emotional! You are so amazingly talented in the way you capture moments but also in the way you describe those moments with words. I’m feeling exactly the same way this January – treasuring these last moments with my little man beside me every day. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and your journey. xx
PS. How is your back now? You poor Mummy! Praise God for great husbands/daddies eh. xx
Get well quickly Lisa. Fabulous pictures, your girls will enjoy these pictures and cuppa tea times when older for sure! I have kept up the Jan project too and will send you my copy soon as I love to share it with you. xJess
Thank you Sarah!! How can it be time for our first borns to start school already?!
I’m told this disc injury takes 3- 6 weeks to mend so I have to be patient. I am so grateful for a husband who just copes & cares for his family so well.
Hi Jess… I’m glad you kept up the project… I look forward to seeing your January collection! 🙂
