Riya-Ray

I know you parents out there know this, but parenting is no joke.  Seriously the single hardest thing that I have ever done.  But if I could share with you…

Starting to feel a bit nostalgic that my kids have been at school for almost a whole year already!  A year later and Riya is still pulling that smile for…

Can I just mention “The Epic Enthusiasm Fail of 2012” or more well known to the girls as “The Time We Killed Their Imagination Cos We Suck At Consistency“.  Oh…

The end of the year and more importantly, Christmas has snuck up on me like Seth sneaks up to chocolate – stealthily, with purpose and without a care that you…

I have never enjoyed being home with my family as much as I am right now. Maybe it’s just the new house and all the great, new things that go…

I have a little problem. My children thrive on routine. But then again, apparently most children do.  I thought mine were different, but I guess I was very wrong. Every…

I’ve been finding it difficult to take pictures recently.  Not that it’s my job or anything, but I normally really love to do it.  I don’t know why I’ve been…

How do you know Summer is here (besides the beautiful weather we’ve been having, of course)?  Well, I know Summer is here because besides the sudden influx of filthy cockroaches…

I can’t believe our birthday has come and gone already without it even really feeling like it was even here.  With so much going on with the move and everything,…

You guys, moving is no joke.  I think my mind is about to break.  Which I’m concerned about – because I’m not quite sure how to get it back together…

Good morning lovelies! I have been trying to work at home some evenings and when I have a Milo break I have a nifty little screen saver that shows me…

Goodness, this weekend totally owned me.  For reals.  I am more exhausted now than I was before it started.  We have been very busy making sure that our kids get…

Sort of like my currently post a while back, there’s a lot going on.  But when I do have a chance to take a picture it seems to be going…

I like to make a big deal out of things. It doesn’t have to be a big deal, but I will make it one.  It could be anything really –…

Do you remember way back when you were at school and you had a civvies day or a “bring a monkey to school” day or a “wear your pants on…

Today I am sitting in the midst of 3 sick, moody children and I think that I am slowly losing the battle, in the fight against all the germs that…

It has become apparent to me that soon our faces are going to be plastered right at the top of every restaurant list, right under the “DO NOT LET THESE…

I’m so sick of thinking about packing and not packing and how I should be packing that I have decided to think about beautiful clothes instead.  Aaaaah, that’s better. On…

This week has been pretty amazing – on the blogging side of things anyway.   The Spar Savour Magazine issue is just too cute and then thanks to Sticky Fudge,…

We did it. We got through Riya’s very first photo shoot and despite all the ups and downs of the day, if you ask her today if she had fun…

So remember the other day I destroyed my kitchen to do something awesome that I was stupidly cryptic about.  Well today it’s live. Like out there for the world to…

So we had a mermaid party.  Although as it turns out there was only one beautiful mermaid and it wasn’t even one of our girls, even though she could be…

This warm weather has put a spring in my step.  It’s glorious. I can’t wait to leave the office so that I can go and sit in the sun with…
