Mamatography Week 18: Gardening, Mama-ing And Thrifty Homemaking


114/365 – Happy Birthday Daddy The girls scribbled a birthday card for their daddy, and I wrote their message out word for word, including the home that he would ‘sleep good’ for his birthday, and do whatever he wanted the next day. Lovely. At least we had a gorgeous Vegan chocolate cake, which is so good,…

Mamatography Week 17 : the best bits


I have this overwhelming awareness that these days are few. Every time one of my girls does something that grabs my attention, I realise that these days are few, so very, very few in the grand scheme of things. It’s making me quite emotional.

Mamatography Week 16: My Girls


To say it’s taking us a while to settle in would be an understatement. Honestly, I have no idea why it’s been so rough, but the to do list in getting the house organised alone is quite intimidating. The girls are only just starting to sleep well again, and we’re kind of over the horrible…

Mamatography Week 15: Getting There


We walked through the front door and straight into a horrid tummy bug that seems to be doing the rounds at the moment. That, on top of the flight and the jet lag and the general draining of the last few months really wiped us all out and there were no great outings or anything…

Mamatography 2013 Week 14: Back Home


We’ve been home for a week already, I can hardly believe it. Our day in Singapore airport was a godsend when it came to the second, longer flight. We were able to stretch our legs, have a proper meal, play, swim and generally have a ‘day out’. We got home to a house so cold,…

Mamatograpy 2013 Week 13: Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow


It’s a week of saying goodbyes  and while I’ve always taken being sad to leave somewhere as a good sign of your time there having been well spent, this time I’m finding it exquisitely hard.

Mamatography 2013 Week 12: Celebrations!


It’s been a week of holding on, and letting go. We can all feel our time here is drawing to close, but there’s some celebrating to do first!

Mamatography Week 11: All About Daddy


My husband, Martin, arrived in Australia this week for three weeks, and then we’ll go back to England with him. I’m so grateful that he came out, as I must admit that the burden of single parenting was getting to me. I am so tired, bone tired, and I am looking forward to some equilibrium…

Mamatography 2013 Week 10: Fairies, Friends And Bubbles


Are you tired of hearing me say how we’re in a weird kind of limbo yet? Well, we are. Next week (to these pictures) Daddy arrives. That’s about all there is to say about the here and now.
