To be a star, you must shine your own light, follow your own path, and don’t worry about the darkness, for that is when the stars shine brightest. With time flying by so quickly, and September fast aproaching, I suddenly realised my ‘baby’ is turning two. It makes me nervous to think how quickly these days...

Out of the office
Tonight I will be jumping on a plane (at 1am no less!) with my two little monkeys and heading to stay at our gorgeous friends house for a week! We have been organising this trip for what seems like forever, I cant wait! The bubbly is chilling and we have lots of wonderful things organised...
Brothers
Sometimes being a brother is even better than being a superhero. ~Marc Brown Although they do fight every now and then, for the most part they play so well together. Its beautiful watching Mason follow Byron around, and watching them chase each other. I was an only child, and I remember playing on my own...
The magic of childhood
“We plan our lives according to a dream that came to us in our childhood, and we find that life alters our plans. And yet, at the end, from a rare height, we also see that our dream was our fate. It’s just that providence had other ideas as to how we would get there....

I remember feeling left out, but it wasn’t through any one’s fault, its lovely that school’s and the media make...
In search of the perfect photo
My youngest is now 20 months, and despite being a photographer I still do not have one good photo of both my boys together. They are so uninterested in the camera, and never stay still longer than a moment, so I am literally clicking and chasing, hoping that I get something in focus, usually I...
Motherhood brings more than you ever could imagine
3 years ago, I became a mother. My life undeniably changed, I was a young Mum at 22 when Byron was born, and the first of any of my close school friends to even contemplate marriage let alone babies. I had always wanted them though, I was always wanting to be a Mummy. It was tough going through...
