Remembering a weekend in October of last year, about a week before we lost JA’s dad. Such a lovely weekend in the spring time, with the doggies, my parents, our bubba, and Frank, very special memories that we will cherish. Photos 2 to 5 were shot by Rafa himself, first foray into using a DLSR [...]

Easter 2013

Today would have also been Altarra’s 32nd birthday, if she were still with us. She would probably have 2 or 3 kids, be living in Sydney and be crafting it up every weekend. I miss her. Thank you my families for a really lovely day, we had breakfast with JA’s side and lunch with mine, [...]

A beachy weekend

Last weekend we got up at O-dark-thirty to get JA to the bus station to go pick up his car from Sydney. Raf and I kept going and went down the coast, and JA eventually met us there later in the afternoon. We only had one night there with our lovely friends, but it was [...]

2012 in review.

It’s been a very emotional year. I’ve watched my baby boy grow up so much, pass all the usual milestones and jump ahead in leaps and bounds, he’s such a clever little engineer (still yet to say a word though!). We are so lucky to have him and are amazed that we created him. We [...]

Being a part of the first Human Brochure – Day 1

A couple of months ago, I saw an ad on Facebook from Australian Capital Tourism, asking for applicants for this cool new thing called a “Human Brochure”. WHAT’S A HUMAN BROCHURE? We think the best way for you to learn about Canberra is through the eyes of people who have been here. So we invited [...]

11 months old

My heart simply swelled whilst editing these photos. My boy is so handsome and sweet ♥ Rafa is now clapping on command, almost saying “muma” when he is upset, standing quite steadily holding on to things, crawling very fast and just generally being the best thing ever invented. Chatting to Sarzi on his Teddy Mat, [...]

{Party Planning} Rafa’s 1st Birthday

Not sure if you’ve noticed, but I LOVE planning parties. I’ve re-capped birthdays past before, as well as documenting how much I love designing invitations, and how much I love baking and decorating for halloween! I also like to make birthdays a bit special for the doggies ;) I’m pretty much impossible to throw a [...]
