There are certain characteristics that I possess, that has made Instagram a larger part of my life than I ever imagined, and it is not my ability to take photos, it is my ability to be really into something, dare I say it, *addicted*. Due to the strong feeling and compulsion I have had around Instagram, […]
As we bid farewell to 2013, it is like sealing a time capsule and sending it off into space. I look back and choose the favorite photographs and creations, and compile them into a neat grid and say, this was 2013. This is it, this is my energy bottled…I look at it and then let […]
Elle is dabbling in fibs, and while I do not condone lies and find lies disheartening, her little lies are (secretly) causing us some amusement. Now do not interpret this as my not taking this issue seriously, because I am taking it very seriously, but when relaying the stories to Cam at the end of […]
This week I started working with Papier Mache Magazine. Oh my goodness, do not wake me from this dream. If there was a job I could have wished for, and hoped with all my heart it would come true, this would be it. I have been giddy for weeks over it, and now I have […]
Oh yes, we know how to make the best of a situation. We are loving our new zen water feature in the entrance foyer, totally adding to the good feng shui of our home. We are also loving our new bathing routine, which involves warming the kitchen with the oven and bathing babes in the […]
Today was not a usual Saturday for us. I woke to the sound of a loud crack and I thought something had fallen off a wall. A few minutes later the smoke alarm went off. It was in that moment, despite being woken from a deep sleep, I instinctively jumped out of bed. I ran down […]
Oh Pintrest, what are you doing to me! Eek, I have Pinspiration overload! This is a term I made up (but I am sure someone else made it up too!), that means I pin so much, and see so many beautiful things, that I become stuck in the stimulation of it all…and don’t do […]
You all know this already of course, Obama won, and we could not be happier! The world can breath a sigh of relief, thank goodness for a smart, kind, honest and inspirational leader to take make this country a better place. We are proud Obama supporters – and rose on election day with clear intent […]
Where to begin… in the wake of hurricane Sandy? Well, we are grateful to be alive and well. We are still technically without power, heat, hot water, and the internet six days later – although as of today we ran an extension cord from Nina’s, who was lent a gasoline opperated generator. So grateful of […]
Oh it feels so good to be back! Although it is like I am sitting on a swing, pumping my legs and waiting for my swing to move. I know though that eventually I will gain momentum again, life will push my swing…and I will do my best to soar high and share the ride. Such […]
Last week I joined a Waldorf Home Schooling group, but as it turned out most of the members are an hour drive away, so a little too far for us to join in on the weekly gatherings. I am however enjoying the weekly group emails, and invites, and even though I am not physically attending […]
Hello Instagram friends, I am using a new app that is so exciting I have to blog about it. I know some you out there are having a lot of fun with Instagram and I think you will love this app I came across called Picframe. For those of you like myself that take a lot […]
Ooooo, so exciting, here they are already, our images from Lightburn Photography. Shelley wrote to me the evening after our photo shoot and apologised for not sending the photos straight away…something I did not expect anyway, and honestly was surprised and delighted when she sent them through Monday morning. Her words were something of the sort: […]
Yesterday a photographer friend of mine, Lightburn Photography came to photograph our kitchen. I have not seen this friend for almost 15 years but through the world of facebook, reunions have become so much easier and more frequent. As it turns out, my friend now lives in Brooklyn, not far from where we used to live […]
I needed a few melamine cups to take with us on Winter hikes and I found some cute options at Love Mae, which I just adore. These tumblers are perfect as they feel solid like a ceramic mug, but are not breakable, and are without handles so stack well. I bought two each of the flower bed, […]
When you hear good news, you just have to share it. A talented Graphic Designer and Chalk Artist friend of ours, Dana Tamanchi recently chalked the cover of O Magazine for the February 2012 issue. This is the first hand drawn issue of O Magazine, and we are very excited that it was done […]
When we arrived back in Australia, one of the first things I wanted to do was to go to the farm. This is the farm that I grew up with, and lived on during varies stages of my upbringing. My Grandparents bought this farm not long after they immigrated from America to Australia in 1969. […]
One of the positive things about jet lag, is waking to see sunrise. For the entire first week of our trip to Australia (and then some), the Girls and I woke at dawn. I had not seen the sun rise for a long while and I really enjoyed the morning light. Together we sat on […]
