OK, so second lesson time! I’ve taken on my beginner’s tips, chosen my project of photographing my garden through the seasons, and this week I’ve been thinking about perspective. So here it is, my garden, my perspectives… I took a few photos of the same thing but from differing perspectives to play around with it. …
I am loving this new interest in photography, and it seems I’m not alone, as several of you joined in with me, too – thanks! Last week, thanks to Em’s tips, I started to have fun with it, experiment and focus on a project. It’s week two, and we have a lesson in perspective today, from …
Today, I want to start the day with a smile, and it’d be lovely to have you doing the same. And so I’ll share a favourite photo from my ‘makes me smile’ pinboard…. A song that always has us smiling… Remind myself of the things that I’m grateful for and that make me happy – …
This year, I’ve challenged myself to make over most rooms in the house, as well as the ongoing Project Garden. I’m in our house a lot. I’m here with the kids, I have friends and play-dates over and I work from home. These walls can begin to get dull! So I thought it’d be fun to …
I was saddened by…. That’s this week’s prompt from Sara over at Mum Turned Mom. I sat down to write it, as I do like to join in, and all that kept coming into my mind was a post that I wrote earlier this week. I don’t know whether you’ve seen it, and I wouldn’t …
I’ll be learning to take better photos, with the help of guest bloggers in my ‘Learn With Me: Photography’ series. And you’re welcome to come along for the ride and link up your photos and fun with me 🙂 The first lesson is An Introduction to Photography 101, by Em at Snowing Indoors. I’ve read it, …
It’s here! Week one of my new hobby and attempts to take better photographs. I will be hosting a guest blogger here each week, who knows a thing or two about photography, and asking them to share tips with us so that I can improve my rather shabby and non-existent skills. We really are taking …
I’m still amazed by the everyday things that my children see as fascinating. The mundane, the unnoticed or even the irritations in my life, which elicit gasps and wonder from them. We had one such occurrence last week. It was the weekend, and a cold one. Which meant frost. Which to me means heating on …
I mentioned a few weeks ago that I’d be working with a few charities close to my heart this year. Jo’s Trust is one that really matters to me. I’ll share with you why, before telling you about their latest campaign… Kelli called me a week before her wedding. It was the day before Christmas …
Guilt. It comes with the territory, I think, as soon as you become a mother. Little Man is a constant challenge, as any active, adventurous 16 month-old is. And in my reflective moments, I adore that he’s like this, as I think it indicates confidence, intelligence and a happy, little spirit. I’m proud of him, …
Since I started to blog, I’ve found myself developing an interest in photography. I see so many beautiful shots, and some blogs that I read are more about the photos than the words. I know that’ll never be me, as I’m much more about words and language than conveying stories through pictures, as some do …
The lovely Karen over at TwinLifeOnline tagged me in this meme about blogging, which I’ve enjoyed writing, as it’s made me really stop and think! Here are the questions and my answers… What/Who encouraged you to start blogging? I actually started with a blog for my business, last April, and found that I liked writing …
I adore this photo. My two little beauties, clearly ‘needing’ to get a little closer to see the TV 😉 Boo climbs, clambers, and lounges all over the furniture and chairs. Leaping off the sofa onto the floor, is clearly a brilliant game, though I’m not sure she’s even that aware she’s on a chair …
