9/52





"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013" via Che and Fidel.


Lola: Her morning hair. There are tears every time we have to brush it.
Pearl: She announced emphatically this evening: "I like octopuses."
Stella: At the end of preschool day two she confided, "Pearl had a little cry. She wanted to go home. But I made her feel better."

  1. Gorgeous. I love hearing about siblings looking after each other.

    And I can completely understand Lola's tears over brushing her hair – I remember being the same as a child! (I'm not that much better now, truthfully, but I probably shouldn't admit that).

  2. I love how each of your girls are different, and that each photo and your words really capture their individual personalities. So lovely! x

  4. Oh I remember crying every morning when my mom brushed my hair!
    I feel your pain Lola! When you grow up you don't have to brush your hair at all if you don't want to!

    And how sweet are Stella and Pearl...it must be so special to be a twin!

  9. I have a solution to the hair brushing thing... I was a crazy rat's-nest bed head kinda kid but I had reeeally long hair that went down to my bum and I loved it. My mum got so fed up with the brushing and crying that she decided to get me into braiding and old-fashioned rag curls. I would go to bed with braids or rags and wake up with curly or wavy hair and be so happy, and no brushing in the morning! The brushing in the evening was a bit torturous but I knew what I was going to get in the morning!

  10. Another solution for hair dramas - I have a v curly haired girl and have found this http://blogofmichele.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/a-tangle-teezer-saved-my-life.html to be the best invention ever. V occassionally with a spray of detangler but mostly it handles it on its on NO TEARS. Well worth the $30 or so dollars. Dont sell them, no kickbacks just some advice from one mumma to another to save the daily tears over hair

  11. Oh Lola. I know another Lola who hates having her hair brushed too. We have to distract her with YouTube videos of Wow Wow Wubzy. I am so over that show. LOL

  13. The way you capture each of your girls with the camera and with your words is truly something special, Greer. This week Pearl has my heart with her ivy crown and her love of pearl necklace wearing sea creatures ;-) Belinda x
