28/365 Joyful Words

This morning we braved sub-zero temperatures to go to the park and take some photos. Ok. It probably wasn’t sub-zero. And drama queen tendencies notwithstanding, I’m told that yesterday was the coldest day in 30 years. It always amazing how much I enjoy new words. Today it was ‘pel-can!’ (translation: pelican). And as the lone [...]

Get Personal – A Blog Carnival

My very own blog carnival. Be still my beating heart. Well actually, it’s not my very own. I’m in cahoots with Joella from Blogs With Wings. But I’m going to be hosting the first month, so for the sake argument, we’ll say it’s mine. Or we won’t because I just had a rather disturbing gollum [...]

The Push and Pull of Independence

‘I love you. I need you. Don’t touch me. Don’t help me. And please, don’t even look at me the wrong way’. That seems to be the message I’m getting from Miss Riley at the moment. She craves her independence with a fiery passion. And yet, at times she cannot bare to be separate, or [...]

27/365 In Search of that Shot

I’m entering a knitting/crocheting photography competition. Confused yet? Basically the cutest photo of an under 5 year old wearing something that you’ve knitted/crocheted wins $15,000. Worth a go, right? As per usual, I’ve left things to the absolute last minute and the deadline is looming. I don’t think this is the picture I’m going to [...]

26/365 Pets Only

The theme this week at i heart faces is Pets Only From nearly a year ago. This was one of their first attempts at communication. Although it doesn’t look like it, this was Riley’s attempt at kissing the cat. Still, a year later, they can’t quite get enough of one another and are continually doing [...]

25/365 Monkeying Around

In her new balloon dress at one of her best buds Birthdays on Sunday. She loved every minute of it – not that you can’t half tell. Between the jumping castle, trampolines with giant balls inside and a vast array of climbing equipment it was pretty close to heaven. And me? I just enjoyed sitting [...]

24/365 I Have the Best Friends

This is a present that I received from some of my best friends on Twitter. But it’s only half of the package that I received. The other half was decaf coffee for when I have a bun in the oven. See? Not only are they great friends but they are also optimistic. The coffee, which [...]

23/365 Give Me My iPad

This is her Aunt’s iPad. It’s safe to say she’s in love. I’m tossing up whether or not to get one. A few weeks ago we wouldn’t have even thought about it – having stuck to our stinge-a-lot budget over the last 6 months. But one nice payrise later, it’s a definite possibility. But the [...]

22/365 Singing Out Loud

Ukulele in hand and a beautiful singing voice to match (in my mind anyway). Don’t let the joyful exterior fool you. This was in between barked orders at her Aunt to ‘dance! dance! dance!’. See? That’s the problem with little dictators, they’re pretty damn difficult to resist.
