Once upon a time...


In a land far far away, there lived a king and a queen and their four beautiful children... Unfortunately they were way too boring to write about, so you're all stuck with the Dimmock's instead!

We're a bit of a fractured fairytale.I can't promise to update every day...I'm a bit slack like that (shhh), but I'll do my best to keep it up.

And they all lived happily ever after...well that's the plan at least :oP

This is one of my favourite routines...

The boys nightly routine goes like this...bath, dinner, teeth, toilet, Star Wars, sleep. Sometimes, the last 2 overlap a little.

We broke routine today. For years, Wyatt has had his toast with "nutella on the bottom and peanut butter on the top". Today, he offered to have it the other way around, if was "easier" for me ;o) What's the big deal, you say? If you had an obsessive compulsive child you would know this is HUGE!

What a boring week :o/ My daily routine includes a lot of this...

I am the worst housewife ever. Luckily, I have the best husband ever. And he sweeps the floor each night. He also mops, vacuums, does laundry and dishes. No, you can't have him :oP

PHOTO A DAY - 126/366 - LOVE

After literally months of planning and stressing, our first wedding was absolutely perfect. I know the real work is yet to come (sorting through 2000 images, editing 250 for the happy couple to remember their day by, designing image boxes and thank you cards, ordering canvasses...wow I have a lot to do now), but today I'm just going to relax and know that we did our best, and it was enough :o)

Congratulations Hayley and Carlos...may you always look upon each other as you do today.

A little about us...ok, mostly me...

Hey there! I'm guessing that most people who drop by to visit us here already know who we are, but just in case...

My name's Nikki. I'm mum to 4 (yeah, 4...can you believe it? No, me either *shudder*) kids, aged from 16 down to 4. My husband, Steff, is originally from the UK - I stole him away from the cold and the damp to live in Central Queensland, where he must endure almost endless sunshine and blue skies. Somehow he manages ;o)

I started this blog as a way to keep family in England up to date with our comings and goings. And it lets me show off how cute the kids are getting!

A little about me...I'm a professional photographer, I'm obsessive about Buffy the Vampire Slayer, love Harry Potter, Sookie Stackhouse (only book Sookie, not True Blood Sookie. It's an important distinction!), (the 10th) Doctor Who, cupcakes, and Spuffy fanfic (although not necessarily in that order). I'm also an extreme perfectionist with a love of the creative and original, who has a very low tolerance for stupidity. If you ask my husband, he'll tell you I'm a huge snob - I'm really not. I just think I'm better than everyone else :oP (That's a joke, ok? Pretty much).

Oh, and please leave a comment to tell me how fabulous you think I am...it makes me write faster and more often ;o) No really...that part wasn't a joke...
