Thanks so much for those lovely comments coming in about my photos! I’m not sure who to thank – Tim Coulson for showing me how to get my camera off auto for good. Olympus for the OM-D which is just taking the loveliest photos or my dad for lending me his 50mm lens that I’m […]

This post is brought to you by Big W With a family of 7, there is a fair amount of shopping involved to keep us stocked with everything we need. Babies need things, they grow, they keep growing, seasons change, and that means new clothes, socks, underwear, pj’s, shoes and more. For everyone. And it’s […]
