2 consecutive days of blogging im on a roll!

To my dear 2 pity readers....ok so here it is, I think I have figured out why this blogging thing can be so good. VENTING. Since half the things that I want to talk about are no more exciting than watching paint dry, blogging is a remedy for the things i just need to get out but KNOW that when Stanford gets home the only response I'll get is glassed over eyes or a "what is she going on about" stare. So vent no. 1 for today is that my house seriously needs a detox. I need to purge my poor home of the unnecessesaries of life..... I was thinking of adding before and after pics of certain areas of my house that need an internal cleansing  but then thought better of it because you would probably think I was a slob.

So we just got back from our amazing South Africa trip which I will definately post more about in the coming days along with the incredible images we took whilst there, i know, i know dont all log on at once my blogs will be here for the eternities for your entertainment and  perusal :P.  While there I purchased some awesome African home wares, of which i did some pretty impressive bargaining, if I do say so myself. Once unpacked I walked around my house and thought what lucky spot will get to wear and display these gorgeous  authentic African gifts with pride..... then realised there was not even one spot that was even remotely do-able!? How have I ended up with as much 'stuff' as I have??? how do I get rid of it? I dont think i am ready for a garage sale just yet, does that make me a hoarder?? maybe so but I plan doing a "winter-spring clean" in the coming days. Wish me luck :)

On a more positive note, this morning Carter boy pointed to me and said 'mama' then smacked his lips together and waited for a kiss, my whole body absoloutely melted, right at that moment I would've given him  anything he wanted from me ....note to self - ok to melt, not ok that time is going way too fast.:(
The 3 Musketeers..Brigham, Manaia and Carter....love 'em so much.

I know, I know its been a while..... 4 years to be precise.

Ok to be honest, I still dont really know how this thing works and cant really say why I have decided to get back on the blogging bandwagon, other than to say that the cries from byu friends who have ever so eloquently stated their concern that either both Brigham and Manaia haven't aged a day in the last 4 years or I have to be the worst and laziest blogger ever.. The latter is a perfect description of me. BUT here I am again attempting to entertain my one reader (love u  mum) for a few seconds. So.... how do I catch you all up. Not a big fan of clicking on a link to a blog only to find a long novel that fills the whole screen from top to bottom, so I will attempt to keep it short and sweet and mybe if youre lucky throw a few pics in there.

(ok first paragraph break, but I promise there will be no more) I am now 31...grose... blissfully married to Stanford C. Webster (:)) with 3 entertaining  and talented (in their own ways) children Brigham now 7, I know right..... time please stop for just a while. Manaia, my very own sassy/diva princess who is 5 in October and Carter-boy  the sunshine of our lives who turned 1 in Feb. We live in part-time sunny Sydney, Australia in our first bought home of 2 years. I'm still happily a stay at home mum, busy with kids, callings, nappy changes and stolen cat naps here and there. I love lifestyle and potrait photography, beginners sewing (emphasis on beginners), quilting, home decor, cooking, baking and eating especially. Love love love my family,  love  my Heavenly Father and will grow to like blogging more i'm sure.
So til another 4 years time....joking :) c u soon.
