We need to teach the next generation of children from day one that they are responsible for their lives. Mankind’s greatest gift, also its greatest curse, is that we have free choice. We can make our choices built from love or from fear.  ~ Elisabeth Kubler-Ross Every weekend I take the kids up to see my [...]

I’ve lived in Auckland for over 20yrs but have never wandered out to Riverhead Forest.  I I didn’t really know how to get there, and was surprised after looking at the map that I’ve cycled past it a dozen times. So with the kids out for the day, I packed the camera and set out [...]

Make your invitations personal Every year, for both kids I’ve shot a photo for their birthday invitations.  It’s one of my favourite things as I get to choose a photo that reflects their personality at that age.  This year was no different, except that we’ve decided there will be no more parties after the kids [...]

Yesterday we found out that the house we’re renting sold at auction.  What’s more it sold for an unbelievable price, which was far out of our reach. We moved here at the start of the year to be close to Mr6′s school, Bron’s parents (who live in the same street), and because we love the [...]
