julia at age 1 – “after you said no, how many times can i put this in my mouth, until you get REALLY mad?” always testing me and pushing my buttons – but always pushing me to be a better mum too, teaching me how to be more patient and understanding ♡

moving to turks and caicos has really tought me how to live with little or no shopping – ok, for a certain period of time. here, you don’t feel the need to spend, there is limited choice and the prices are high. on the down side, when i’m off island, i know i have a few days to shop and sometimes not enough time to plan and decide what i really need/want. it’s all or nothing…

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.
