It has been a sad weekend in our house. We had to have Plum put down on Saturday as she became very sick very suddenly. Bruce and I are very soppy about our animals, I think because we couldn't have kids our animals became our babies. Plum was 12 years... Continue reading

I know this is a terrible photo - but I just love it. We had music playing the other night and Gina was really getting into it - she makes me laugh so much as she is so dramatic and so enthusiastic. Love the hairbrush and the fist in the... Continue reading

Round here it has been all about the medical appointments and now getting ready for surgery in two weeks, which tends to be a little demotivating but it sure isn't all bad. The weather this week was magic, I love that well into May it is still jandal weather. My... Continue reading

Thank you! I had a great tutorial for the zip so that helped so much.

Haha not a bad influence, just very helpful! Had a look at the website and had to quickly look away before I spent too much!

I love how this week's pages have come together. Lots of photos of a trip to Butterfly Creek that Gina and I went on with some friends. Bruce was away for a night and he brought home the ticket from the event he went to and he had some photos... Continue reading

It's been a fairly average week in our household. The weather the last couple of days has been absolute bollocks and I was so not looking forward to taking Gina out to ballet last night, until I saw this sky, and I was so happy to be out and about... Continue reading

I am not a sewer. In fact if Bruce has ever needed jeans or pants taken up he will pay someone to do it rather than have me go near them. So when I got my sewing machine for Christmas I thought I would manage to sew enough to make... Continue reading

I can't believe how fast this year is going. Week 17 already. Scary! This weeks's pages are fairly simple with no inserts or extras. The photos are really all just of our normal days, but I am loving looking back over the year already. I have something wrong with my... Continue reading

I had a friend up in the school holidays who made these nuts for us. I think it was this recipe although she just used ordinary honey that we had in the cupboard, not lemon honey. They are so delicious - the perfect, sweet, but not too sweet snack. Continue reading

I had a friend visiting this week with her granddaughter so we took the girls out to Butterfly Creek. Ever since we moved to Auckland Gina has been dying to go there so it was good to finally get around to it. It is a really great day out for... Continue reading

It's been a good few days round here. Bruce and I had a day together so we headed into the city and went out for lunch and a wander. It was so much fun and something we need to do more often. The rest of the weekend has been spent... Continue reading

Such ordinary pages this week. I am totallyl happy with the ordinariness (is that a word) of it all, because it really does show some of what our week has consisted of. The photos are terrible, it is so hard to get the right light to take them at the... Continue reading
