Friday Five: Family photoshoot tips (Review of Tomato Photo)

I love taking photos of the boys. There is something very satisfying in being able to capture those smiles and loving moments, which otherwise do fade away in the quick passage of time. However, one challenge about having one parent behind the lens is that family shots are really...

Thankful Tuesdays: Whirlwind week (And a little something else)

Last week was quite a whirlwind of a week (which explains the silence on the blog). The hubby was supposed to be on leave from Tuesday, as we needed to settle lots of renovation details, from picking out sanitary ware (you never know how complicated toilet bowls can be until you...

Friday Five: Another random one

So another week has passed! And here's what's been on my mind this week::: I've almost forgotten how cute the 1.5 to two years old stage can be. They start picking up words, begin to show they understand when you talk to them, and they do all those cute antics like dancing and feeding...

Friday Five: The month of May

Goodness, I can't believe that the week has zoomed by and its already Friday. And that we're already in the month of May! Whatever the case, here's what's been on my mind the past week::: Yesterday I stepped into our bathroom to find the floor flooded. Our cistern broke and had leaked...
