The Little Daily: Bloom To Die

I know why they do it. It's an adorable little project and the child gets to marvel at how, from a tiny seed, a plant will grow. It's green and it's important and I get it. But now what? This is a broad bean plant, people. Broad bean. And me, a legume fan from way […]

The Little Daily: Me

Closer to 40 than 30: time to quit with the pigtails?  Ahhhh! This happens every time I change my hair. I love the change initially and then I start to miss blonde. I think I am blonde on the inside. Blonde in every single way. Except, you know, naturally. I will be 36 in just two days and […]

The Little Daily: Purpose

  When they're sick, when I'm sick, too, it always goes this way. I cradle them, my arms something solid and dependable when everything else feels out of control. Because throwing up is unsettling for anyone, but surely frightening for a little person. And as I hold their little body to mine, or two bodies as it went […]

The Little Daily: Sprung

The Little Daily: Sprung

  Spring is upon us and I am feeling it big time.  I had thought to capture a blossom-esque photo to share with you. I am forever driving past gorgeous trees in the neighbourhood and thinking I should stop and take a picture, but who amongst us can say they have ever driven their child […]

The Little Daily: Insta-Baby!

The Little Daily: Insta-Baby!

  So I keep banging on about how much I love my new phone and Instagram. Bang, bang, bang. I know. I know. But I think maybe I'm a frustrated photographer and any chance I have to TAKE MORE PHOTOS, I'm there. And just in case anyone wonders what the hell Instagram even is, it's […]

The Little Daily: Boob Smoosh

I'm doing Fat Mum Slim's Photo A Day challenge on Instagram. Of course I am. I haz the iPhone! Today is "Every Day" and the above is what I posted.  Day in, day out, it's me and my girl, in the rocking chair. I call it the boob smoosh.  I would never suppose to tell […]

The Little Daily: Boy

The Little Daily: Boy

Running on the treadmill at the gym today (me! at the gym! TODAY!), I noticed two little boys out the window.  They must have been around eight years old and each held a long stick in their hands that they were using to whack at the branches of a tree with the aim, I think, […]

The Little Daily: Late To The Party

The Little Daily: Late To The Party

I am aware that I may be the last person in the known universe to own one but that has diminished not a bit my love for this contraption we call the iPhone. I want to hop into bed, pull up the covers and spend entire days with her. I think she's a she. Whatever. […]

The Little Daily: Dad

The Little Daily: Dad

I don't talk about him much because he is a private man and I don't like to write about anyone who might not be comfortable with me doing so…. …but this is my dad photographed with my brother many, many years ago. I have always loved this photo. This moment. For so many reasons. And […]

The Little Daily: Hold On

The Little Daily: Hold On

  Holding your kid in your arms. Is there anything better? We are a very huggy family. Cuddlers from way back. Can't get through a day without squishing eachother tight. I've been thinking though. How long should a hug last? A million times I have had a busy kid wriggle out of my embrace. That's […]

Hello friends

I’m Angie!  I mum. I write. I wife. My husband would say this is the correct order.  He’s so neeeedy. I live with my family in Melbourne, Australia, where I complain about the weather for 90% of the year – but I can’t imagine living anywhere else. Except maybe in Lake Como, waving to my neighbours George and Amal each morning.
