Sunshine on the beach on a winter Saturday afternoon. A fine time for families to revive, refresh and reconnect. Lyall Bay, Wellington, you have our hearts x Ice-cream for the little ones, coffee for the bigger people. Friends from Napier, sharing our little patch of beloved New Zealand. Toys made by nature for big and […]

7. garden | 8. lunch | 9. big | 10. my favourite colour | 11. letter (all taken on my phone – which has taken a few tumbles for the worse – multi-tasking with little people does that – hence dodgy, out of focus quality!) 7. GARDEN This is the view I see every day, […]

Slices of life from the past week | 23 – 30 JUNE

Her past, present and future has been very much on my mind. 25. SOMETHING CUTE Alice, my youngest daughter – and little […]
The Photo Gallery: Hands – on a jar of Kiwi Marmite!
Like her mother, she loves it with passion – only I grew up in England, eating Marmite of a different nation. This is Kiwi Marmite, home grown in this land – The real monty for a Kiwi born girl. Sad truth is, the New Zealand factory – was destroyed in the Christchurch earthquake. News of […]
Silent Sunday
The rules: Use just one photo in your post. You must have taken the picture. Use a photo taken in the week leading up to your post. You don’t have to do it every week. No words in the post OR the title. ________________________________________________

Loving Slices of Life from my photos a day for June 10 – 15
10 JUNE | BEST THING ABOUT MY WEEKEND Last weekend, seeing my hubbie enjoy one-on-one time with each of his three daughters was the highlight of my weekend. Personally, I was feeling tired, recovering from a cold, a little wobbly with PMT and not up to much at all. I was so grateful to him […]
Photo A Day JUNE 1 – 9 | Slices of Life
I love taking photographs and joining in with ‘Photo A Day June‘, with a different theme every day, adds a little spin to my domestic, home-schooling, mothering duties. I normally snap the pics on my phone camera (which isn’t great – a little grainy and difficult to focus at times), but when I have the […]
Things I’m Loving & Rounding Up Photo a Day MAY 23 – 31

The Photo Gallery | Sunshine
Autumn leaves have neared their fall, on the deciduous trees that populate Wellington’s hills. Longer nights, shorter days, but still the sunshine is bright in the ever changing sky. Too often, with young children, I miss the sunsets of the summer months – all to frequently getting my tribe to bed – apart from the […]
