Anouk. For the last two days she hasn’t had a day time sleep. She keeps telling me she’s not tired. When I took this photo yesterday she held up two fingers & announced “I am two mum” & then she yawned the yawn that gives away the fact that two year olds still need to have naps… even if...
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...
Bedtime for children. Sometimes there’s simply a story, a cuddle, a kiss, the words good night & before you know it you have children who are sound asleep at a reasonable hour. Other times it is a little more like this drawn out scene from our place last night… Christmas bedtime story, teeth brushing, me:...
When motherhood was new, I wondered. I wondered what times waited in our future. I wondered what it would look like. The days ahead, where everything would be new through her eyes. I wrote in her baby book that what ever happened we would laugh together. I promised her laughter. I hoped we would have...
