Vintage family photo shoot

Even though money is a bit tight at the moment, since DH is in between jobs, my DH has got himself persuaded to accept an offer for a family photo shoot for 15 euro.
I wasn’t too impressed when he first told me about it, because at these photo shoots they normally take more different pictures and then when you want to buy them all it is way more than you can afford.

But since he paid already there wasn’t much I could do about it. Yesterday we went to church and afterwards I went to get something in the shop and when I got back in the car, he asked if we were still going to get pictures taken. I had totally forgotten about it and looked in the car for the paper he got. We were supposed to be at the hotel for the photo shoot yesterday around that time. I read the paper better and it said that they provided clothing for kids and women and that men should wear a shirt and pants and I was wondering why.

Then I read it even better and realised that it wasn’t an ordinary shoot, it was a photo shoot in vintage clothing in the style of 1920-1930 which would be done in sepia. Then I got a bit excited, thinking that should be fun playing dress up and then getting pictures taken.

The girls and I got vintage dresses, hats and pearl necklaces and DH got a hat. They took about three pictures from all of us and then they took from the three kids and from each of the girls separately a few pictures. At the end we got a paper with different packages to choose from and the prices aren’t bad at all. We are supposed to get one big photograph free and also needed to pay a sitting fee of 5 euro when we arrived.

The pictures will be finished and ready for collection on September 5 so I’m really curious to see how they will come out And then I have to decide which pictures we’re going to take and which package. But overall it has been a fun thing to do on a Sunday afternoon.

How was your Sunday? I hope that you had a lovely day.

Stay well.

This is a picture of baby girl sitting on the beach. Picture was made at the end of march and edited in Picasa in sepia.

Mummy, I need your 'pookie'

It’s World Breastfeeding Week from August 1st to August 7th 2013 and this year’s theme is Breastfeeding Support: Close to Mothers. You can read more about it on http://worldbreastfeedingweek.org . The focus is on community support, particularly in the form of peer-to-peer support. To show support for World Breastfeeding Week, the Irish Parenting Bloggers group is holding a blog march about varied breastfeeding experiences, including experiences with breastfeeding support in Ireland. This inspired me to write a post about breastfeeding as well. My breast feeding journey When I was pregnant with my first child, I decided that it would be a great idea to combine breast- and bottle feeding. But in the hospital they convinced me how healthy and important it was to breastfeed exclusively and then I decided to go that road. I got a breast pump to express milk so my baby could get a bottle with breast milk when I was out and about or for the scarce times that I would leave her...

Nevaehs Summer Bucket list

Unfortunately, it seems that this year the Autumn weather has started earlier than last year.  And so I finally wanted to write a blog post to share Nevaehs Summer Bucket list with you. This Summer, we mostly stayed in the Netherlands. We only went to Germany to visit Moviepark Germany for two days. At the beginning of the break, the girls entertained themselves by playing games and watching youtube video’s on their tablets and laptop. This bothered me a bit, so one evening I called them all together to sit down and told them to make a bucketlist for the Summer. The first one to finish was allowed to have the last bit of ice cream. Nevaeh can already write a little bit but I told her that she could draw instead. So she made a bucketlist with 10 items on it. The actual bucket list got lost somewhere but we memorized what was on it and I’m glad to say that she has been able to do all the items on it. So here is Nevaehs Summer Bucket List. 1 Go to the playground ...

Fashion Friday Kids; Tutu's and animal print

My littlest of little girls is a little fashionista. She knows what she wants and sometimes when I pick something out for her to wear, she walks to the closet, opens the door and then stands in front of it to choose another outfit for the day. She loves skirts and dresses. As mentioned in another post she often doesn’t want to wear anything else and calls most skirts and dresses ‘ballerina’. Her favourite skirts are the tutu’s. When I had to choose an outfit for her 2 nd birthday in February, I looked online on the website of H&M and found a cute dress with animal print. I decided to get it in the shop and make up an outfit by adding a pink tutu to it. I loved it and she loved it as well. The birthday outfit In the new class room for 2-3 year olds in church With big sisters in the church lounge Playing with new toys Because I love animal prints and she loved the tutu so much I couldn’t resist an outfit I found on Zulily.
