23. MOVEMENT Nothing beats the thrill of play-time with Daddy! Alice catches some air whilst playing with her Daddy at the playground! 24. ON MY MIND My oldest daughter turned nine this week. Her past, present and future has been very much on my mind. 25. SOMETHING CUTE Alice, my youngest daughter – and little […]
Month: June 2012
Things I’m Loving: Winter colours, fun with my girls & celebrating!
Loving the colours of the winter sun reflecting on the waves rolling in at Lyall Bay on Wednesday evening… And this photograph, my oldest daughter – Charlotte – took, of a plane circling into land at Wellington airport. I love the billowing clouds tinged with the pink and purple colours of the setting sun. Love […]
The Photo Gallery: Hands – on a jar of Kiwi Marmite!
Like her mother, she loves it with passion – only I grew up in England, eating Marmite of a different nation. This is Kiwi Marmite, home grown in this land – The real monty for a Kiwi born girl. Sad truth is, the New Zealand factory – was destroyed in the Christchurch earthquake. News of […]
Walking the pages, a book of their own making
Latte Junkie set the theme of ‘BOOKS’ for Lyrical Sunday this week. I often look at my children as though they are characters in a book – I’ve actually been told, ‘Your children are just like something out of a story book…’ (I took that in a positive light – with the smile that came […]
Three sisters, one perfect Monday afternoon & a chocolate fish
Being woken at 5am by my two year old, Alice, after a late night travelling between France and England in the 1400’s, isn’t easy (though, thanks Philippa Gregory for the escapism). I lay on the sofa, trying to sleep, hoping the ‘Peppa Pig‘ DVD would suffice to keep Alice from demanding too much attention. By […]

Notes from our Home School Journal, 22 June, 2012
In my life this week: The week’s got better as it’s gone on – along with the weather. We had our big school girl, Charlotte, home on Thursday. She’s been having a few too many late nights – getting carried away with her enthusiasm for learning and entering the New Zealand Association for Gifted Children […]
Slices of life from the past week | 16 – 22 JUNE
16. OUT AND ABOUT | Photo a Day JUNE Whilst I enjoyed my once every six week hair cut and ‘time out’ for me, Dan took his girls to Junglerama for an indoor play experience (it was wild and windy outside). I met up with them later on. They’d had a lot of fun! 17. […]
Only | Lyrical Sunday
‘ONLY’ is the prompt that ‘Latte Junkie’ has set for Lyrical Sunday this week. I struggled with this one, but late last night – after reading Cyndi’s brilliant TWO poems on the theme ‘Only’ (not only one – but two poems!) – inspiration finally came to me. This poem is about Wellington and is probably […]

Notes from our Home School Journal: 17 June, 2012
In my life this week… It’s been a wild week of stormy weather, high tides and huge waves. My big school girl was home on Thursday and Friday, with the cold the rest of the family have been suffering. Having her home was lovely – she is amazing at encouraging and inspiring her home-schooling sister […]
Loving Slices of Life from my photos a day for June 10 – 15
10 JUNE | BEST THING ABOUT MY WEEKEND Last weekend, seeing my hubbie enjoy one-on-one time with each of his three daughters was the highlight of my weekend. Personally, I was feeling tired, recovering from a cold, a little wobbly with PMT and not up to much at all. I was so grateful to him […]
Notes from our Home School Journal, 12 June, 2012
Catching up from last week with this post. I’m finding this weekly review a useful exercise. In my life last week… The whole family, except my oldest, had colds. Blur! I only had three days of my homeschooler and youngest at home – what with the long Queen’s Birthday weekend and Diamond Jubilee, giving us […]
