when my mum came to visit last november, she set up a mini art studio by our back porch. she had loads of pictures from her previous visits and spent her days painting outside. it was so nice having her present, and knowing that she felt at home, doing what she likes best, in our place.
lucky me, i got her turks and caicos watercolours as christmas gifts, so now i have all these really cute reminders of her stay on island.

julia at age 1 – feeding julia has always required a lot of patience and good moods, but now i’m having a hard time giving her vegetables, so we’re trying a different approach…a fruit smoothie with disguised vegetables, and she loves it! (this one had frozen mango, frozen raspberries, avocado and spinach) ♡
julia at age 1 – she’s like the owner of the first step in the pool, steps in and out, in and out, and occasionally sits down to play with the water ♡
