introducing mmjm..

i thought it would be a nice idea to formally introduce you to my family and i.

last year my father in-law asked for a framed family photo for christmas. he was given the ‘proper’ portrait. the one where we’re all smiling at the camera. you know the one. this one above is an outtake, which i much prefer.

my boy j [15, nearly 16], me, the husband m and my girl m [13, nearly 14]. that’s us, mmjm family of 4. i’m a proud mama, they’re beautiful kids and this photo is so typical of our family. j joking around. me, telling him to behave. husband m backing me up and m doing exactly what she’s been asked!

this is friday our cat… [my mum found her on a friday] and i’d like to come back as her in my next life.

this is charley girl after [charlie parker, boy].. she’s the cutest jack russell x maltese shitzu you ever did see. this was taken a couple of days after we bought her in february [2010].

charley’s a little older now, still the cutest and has grown to be the annoying little sister and hassles friday no end [as seen below]. friday is surprisingly patient with her and i’m kinda sensing it’s a love/hate relationship.

and lastly i’d like to introduce you to our 5 girls [taken jan 2010]. from left to right: gigi, ebony, fifi, anise and ginger. depending on the season, i collect 2-5 eggs every morning. i can’t be sure which of these girls is/are doing all the hard work in producing these eggs, maybe it varies, maybe they take turns? what i do know is, they’re as  fresh as fresh, the yolk is bright yellow and they come from a happy place.

i also love to garden and grow veggies, but more about that another time… m.
