About Me

A few passions in my life include photography & creating beautiful and dreamy spaces for my children to play in. Watching them and being able to capture their imaginations playing will always be one of my favourite things to do.

Grateful to be here celebrating another lap around the sun ✨ #thirtysomethingisntsobad Second week of the school holidays are about to start and I don’t want to go anywhere, as the amount of sickness flying through the air right now is… 😳 so we are going to do all the imaginative things at home in the hopes we stay healthy, at least before we head back to school, as Layla has only just got better after almost three weeks of sickness 🙃 Winter picnics are our favourite 🧺  I’m a neutral lover at heart and I have to say this is my favourite room! All those neutral tones. The gorgeous sheet on Parker’s bed is from @the_midnight_gang and it easily pulls off if your little one wets the bed and then all you have to wash is one sheet 👏🏼 which is a game changer if you have a little someone who still has weekly accidents 🙃 I’ve purchased two of these since having Parker and recently was gifted another, which I’m going to use on the couch if the kids are sick 👌🏼 To be honest I haven’t put my activewear on to be active for a few weeks now. Between the never ending sick kids and the cold and dark mornings 😳 I’ve been so slack! Although my activewear is still getting worn as it’s always a good choice for school pick up 👌🏼 Layla when she realised that just because she circled ALL the things in the toy catalogue, doesn’t actually mean she’s getting them 🙊 What does it mean to be strong? To me it means going through the rough seas with a touch of grace. In year twelve life threw a storm at me. My dad passed away, turning our whole world upside down. The first man I ever loved gone, shattering my heart into tiny pieces. The pain and the overwhelming feeling of loneliness, even when surrounded by so many people was unimaginable. The rose-coloured glasses I wore, were now tainted. Going to university and completing a degree, suddenly seemed liked something I could not grasp and somewhat pointless. I didn’t sit my midterm exams, as at seventeen I was picking out a casket and attending my dad’s funeral and just the thought of putting one foot in front of the other seemed overwhelming at times. However, with all the odds stacked against me I decided to stand strong, brace for the rough seas and show myself that even during the worst storm I’ve seen, it wasn’t as strong as the strength within myself. Were you close to your siblings growing up? These two play more than they fight, so I’m taking that as a win. Although sometimes I wonder if they were that little bit closer in age, maybe they would get along a lot more 🤷🏻‍♀️ Scientists have discovered it takes approximately 400 repetitions to create a new synapse in the brain, unless it’s done in play, in which case it only takes 10 - 20 repetitions. Which is why I have always believed the best education does not happen at a desk ✨
