That’s what they say, and in this case it’s true. How can I possible be cross with Emma when she just wants to be like her Mum. I love it when she does stuff like this, showing me that she’s a big girl.
Things were a little quite while I was tweeting, a sign I obviously ignored, because she did the exact same thing today with the sunscreen.

Project 365 – January is in the can

January 30, 2010

OK, so I have to be honest and admit that I missed a few days, and I’m posting this a day early. But I’m totally ok with What started as a really simple, easy idea turned quite hard once I lost focus and let the day to day drudgery get in the way. I know [...]

I swore I’d never ever take pictures of food.  But a special mention has to go out to these two vegetables.  They have got me out of so many jams.  When I’m tired at the end of a long day, they are always there for me.  They never complain when I scald them in the [...]

My goodness it’s hot!  I’ve never like the heat and can still remember the days in England when it immobilises you (yes England got that hot at times).  Yesterday we had no plans, therefore everyone was just grumpy.  Kids were bored and hot, I was grumpy and hot, and Bron was trying to keep us [...]

I love this photo!  Emma was  rather scared of our old cat (who now resides with my in-laws), and won’t go near anything that has a head; she is perfectly ok with pulling tails of course. We got the rabbit (who I called “Stew” mainly to deter her from eating Bron’s plants) with the intention [...]

Had laser surgery on my eye today to fix a thing called pigment dispersion syndrome.  Apparently the back of my pupils are rubbing against the muscle, causing the pigment to slough off and build up pressure in my eye.  They think this is what’s causing my migraines, blurred vision, and halos around lights at night.

I’m finding it incredibly hard to take inspiring photos, or even have inspiring thoughts when I’m stuck in the office all day.  This was taken after picking the kids up from daycare.  Emma yearned to ride her bike, but there was no time.  no time to teach her to ride, no time to play with [...]

Yesterday I read a story on Digital Photography School called “Shoot to Live: what do your photos teach you” I recommend you go and read that, but be warned to have a box of tissues handy.  I speaks about not missing the small moments in your children’s lives, “Soak in the mundane” as the write [...]

Project365: Day011 – I think my head is finally switched on

Today was a struggle all over. First day back at ‘the day job’, struggling to get through benign emails, listening to everyone’s holiday stories, and attempting (and failing) to stay off the coffee. I spent all day staring at spreadsheets and working out complicated formulae, so it’s no surprise that I didn’t have any inspiration [...]
