Uh-oh… for the third time in his relatively short life, my baby has been hit while totally stationary! … this time he came off worse for wear after a Winnebago backed into him in the car park!

They might have taken away my Polly Waffles… but I will not be deterred!! …I found something just as good… dare I say better!? – The Great Aussie Waffle Log! … and they deliver!

Having a fiddle around with a new (second-hand, just for play) lens…

What a gorgeous little poppet… this lovely lady was a joy to photograph <3

Setting up for a new little girl, coming to visit my studio tomorrow.

I’m ready for the AFL finals… C’ARN the SWANNIES!

Most Improved player for the Old Canberrans U15-2 girls hockey team – “Willow Bingley”! Proud Dad/Coach was pleased as punch to hand this award over to his girl <3

Just sitting at Willow’s horse riding lesson, watching the changing sky… this is the one hour a week I get to just sit and do nothing, talk to no one & recharge! #bliss

I don’t want to brag… but I’m pretty sure my dad is way better than your dad! Check out these amazing 3D paper sculptures he designed, printed, cut out and assembled!! 100% unique to MY Mickey Mouse collection!

Ēkhānē dēkhāra matō kichu nē’i…
After a super busy day/night yesterday, we finally headed out for Xan’s birthday dinner at the Pancake Parlor!

Happy SIXTEENTH Birthday Xanthia!! … sixteen on the sixteenth day in the year sixteen!

It’s all fun and games… until someone loses a hand!! #dontpokethebear

Emmett and Marty have the whole back yard to lounge around in… but as close to the front fence as they can get is where you will find them!

Willow’s hair is getting out of control!! … she’ll be tripping over it soon!

#longsufferinghockeymum #gochecks

I never would have known this little guy was in our front tree… if he wasn’t chatting so vocally with his mate in the tree across the street… by the growls flying between them, I’m not so sure it was a happy chat 😉

Once Marty is done visiting everyone else in the house… and raiding the cats food bowls … he comes here, right beneath my feet, to sleep <3

#yearoftheselfiebecauseikeptforgettingtotakemyphotoaday

We have locked the door and handed back the keys… goodbye old house!

Time for my new little cousin’s newborn photoshoot… but it was a bit hard to take a shot with all the cuddles going on!

Apparently endless chaos and innumerable boxes is no deterrent for a sleepover!

Oh, the chaos… this task feels… immense!

See this girl… well, today she got her licence! Seriously! … first licence test, now train to Melbourne to visit the boyfriend!

First night in our new house… let the fun and games begin!

The day was spent packing, cleaning and moving… now to squeeze in a little editing time before collapsing into bed! … moving day TOMORROW!

Such a familiar scene… one I would be glad to never see again! #boxesboxeseverywhere

… and here she is! My first newborn model, in my new studio… in my new house! Success!

… and so it begins! The first space to be set up in the new house is my studio/office… just in time for my first studio client TOMORROW! The movers don’t even arrive until Wednesday – but magic will be made here well before then!

IKEA baby!! … sorting out the furniture for my new office space in my new house… did I mention we own a house now!!?

This is what happens when a U15 girls hockey coach, turns his back on his players while they are warming up for training! #rookiemistake

The keys are ours! The house is OURS!! … this was the amazing gift left to us by the previous owners… I just can’t wait to finally move in!

Don’t judge me… I was thinking of the environment – why use a bowl when you can just pour the Ice Magic straight into the container!
… on a totally unrelated matter, I wonder why my weight loss has stalled? #ponderingthebigissues

Today I witnessed the birth of my new little cousin, Noah… it was a long, emotional day… and when I finally left to come home, this beautiful flower greeted me <3

Time to start cleaning the old joint out… Willow was in this bathroom for HOURS… but she got the job done, in her own special way.

Preparing to leave this house… our very last rental EVER!

More sleep overs for Willow and her friends…
