I rang in the New Year surrounded with friends and two incredibly adorable babies. This is Hiro who Lee and Marcie’s adopted from Japan. 2018 summed up in three words. Growth. Patience. Learning. This year was an interesting ride. It had some really really high highs and some pretty low lows. But I am so […]

Fresh sea air to wash away the stress of this year. (aka it was so windy on the ferry home today it was hard to breath) If I only get to take the ferry once a year you better believe that I am going to walk around the deck and take a ton of photos. […]

Family. They are fantastic and I wish I didn’t live so far away. Some of the people in this photo I haven’t seen since January 2014. Which is far too long. Feeling very lucky to be able to spend some quality time with them over this holiday season. Also, the ham was amazing and the […]

I got to go to the place I am the happiest. The calmest. The most at peace. The sound of the waves, the wind the trees and the rain on my hood. I couldn’t ask for a better way to celebrate the end of an insane year. This year was full of ups and downs […]

I would get up at 7am to catch the ferry for this ray of sunshine any day. I get to have a quick sleepover with this one tonight and then it’s off to the grandparents tomorrow. The one thing that is the downside to living so far is not being able to visit my people […]

The best kind of friends are the ones that even when you barely speak and only see each other once a year being back in the same city means it feels like no time has passed. I love friends who know how happy painting makes me and are willing to sit and do it together. […]

Merry Christmas from the people who made me. Thoroughly enjoyed a nice calm Christmas this year. Only 7 for dinner instead of the 14 in past years. Also got thoroughly spoilt this year. By spoilt I mean I got exactly what I wanted which was new bed sheets, almonds and soup mixes. Is this what […]

It’s slightly blurry because of the level of excitement going on for the amount of presents under the tree. This year I am much more excited to give all the gifts I have put under the tree than receive them. Is this a sign I’m growing up? Things I have learnt this year 24: Things/people/events […]

12 people for pizza tonight! Wild to see this side of the family like this. We only see all of them like once every year and half so of course its chaos. This is my dad’s side of the family. His aunt and uncle, his cousins and their kids. Not all of them. But almost. […]

Bets on how many changes I can make to my hair before the end of the year? It’s only 9 days left! I had quite a lot of extra weight that was driving me crazy. It is very nice to be rid of it. I am very happy with this short change. Also, I am […]
