It’s not officially winter yet but today really feels like it. It’s been raining, the sky is covered in pale grey clouds, and there is a chill in the air. On the one hand I relish it because I’m such an autumn/winter girl at heart, but on the other I’m frustrated because I need to… Read more »

Today
On Friday mornings my mum takes my niece and grandmother grocery shopping and, if I have time, I go too. Grocery shopping is always much more humorous and fun with a preschooler in tow! She likes to look at the fresh seafood and today she was pretty enraptured with the crabs that were on ice…. Read more »
Wednesday buddy time
On Wednesdays my mum looks after my 17-month-old nephew, Tyler. Today I finally got to spend all day with them, now that classes and exams are over. Here’s some photos of what we got up to. G’night! xo
Home Again
Josh and I got back from our week-long trip down south yesterday. Overall we had a great time and got hang out with his family, the highlight, of course, being meeting baby Riley! She is a precious, perfect little dumpling and we are both smitten. Ski-jump button nose, round cheeks, long fingers and toes, and… Read more »
In Pictures: Christmas Day 2010
Finally, here are a few shots from Christmas Day, mostly of the kiddos and during the morning. By the afternoon I was pretty exhausted so photo-taking was at a minimum by then (because I’m pretty much the only one that takes photos around here, haha). Nephew and brother-in-law. He was so excited. My niece was… Read more »
Wednesday
Today was my second-to-last exam, French. I am not particularly confident about it and I will actually be surprised if I managed to do well enough to secure a pass for that class. I really, really hope I don’t fail, but it’s been a rough semester for several reasons and I really did not put… Read more »
Sorry this is a bit sombre
I’m sitting on the couch listening to number one hits of Michael Jackson (CD raided from my uncle and his partner’s collection) at a reasonably loud volume and totally dancing while sitting on my arse. My extended family has had two losses in the last month. My third cousin, Troy, was killed in a car… Read more »
Monkey Friday
Just got back for a wee shopping expidition. There are two birthdays next week, one of which is my dear cousin’s 21st! Sadly, I only got one gift as I couldn’t decide on what to get the other person. However, I did reward myself with a few things after my horribly hectic week! Because beauty… Read more »
Auckland Zoo and Mug Cake
Today I hung out at the zoo with my eldest sister, her kids, and friends of theirs. I always love going to the zoo, and because we arrived fairly early we were there around feeding time, meaning we got to see many of the more elusive animals. Unfortunately I only had my phone’s camera and… Read more »
Thursday: Toddler Time
I’ve had quite a busy and exhausting day. Toddlers will do that you to, though! On Thursdays my mum looks after my 17-month-old niece and today I tagged along with them to do grocery shopping and pick up a few stationary supplies I needed. Persia is a pretty good baby and quite happy to sit… Read more »
