A portrait of my daughter, once a week, every week, in 2013.
This week has been rough. Everly was super clingy, then she came down with a fever and nasty cold. Plus, my anxiety reared its ugly head out of nowhere, then my insomnia hit, so basically I'm just plain ol' tired. I didn't pick up the camera once, nor my iPhone, but I had nothing of interest to photograph anyway as we have been cooped up in the house most of the week.
Above are some cute captures from my husband's phone of Everly trying on a very special gift from the lovely Greer at Typically Red - a beautiful bumpy bonnet in soft purple wool. (I entered a giveaway and was one of the very lucky winners!) Everly's absolute delight in modelling it for us - despite having a fever, watery eyes and runny nose - is true testament to how lovely this little hat is! I'm sure Everly will not take it off all Winter. Please do pop over to Greer's shop and order your little ones a bonnet for the cooler weather. (Meanwhile, we are having another heatwave in Adelaide and I'm wondering where Autumn is?!)
There will be no These Days post this week, which I'm sure you can understand. I've also decided to take a little blog break for a couple of weeks to recharge. I will still be taking photos when I feel the urge, but my 11/52 and 12/52 portraits will be a little late.
I look forward to checking all my favourite blogs in a fortnight and seeing what you've all been up to! x

My favourite portrait from last week was this beautiful image of the oh-so-tiny baby brother and the big sister over at Megpie, a new (to me) blog I recently discovered.

Oh, lady. I hope you're ok. Kellie xx
ReplyDeleteI hope Everly's feeling better soon and things settle for you :) Don't you just love Greer's bonnets! I have to admit I've bought Sunny two and can't wait for the cooler weather so she can wear them... By the looks of it Everly is loving her new little hat too!

that gorgeous bonnet looks so good on your sweet girl. hope she is feeling better soon and you have a lovely break. see you soon x
ReplyDeleteOh honey. Anxiety and insomnia are such nasty things. I am all too familiar with them both and despise their existence. Sending peace and love. A blog break and some time to be calm and refocus will do you wonders. Hope your beautiful girl kicks those sniffles. Xx Ashley
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear you're suffering with anxiety and insomnia and a poorly child, sounds like a damn hard week. I know what a b*tch anxiety can be so I send you lots & lots of empathy :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you decided to post this series of photos... I am in love with every one of them! Greer's handiwork is second to none and Everly looks gorgeous as ever. I really hope the both of you are feeling better soon - get some rest mumabear x
ReplyDeletegorgeous series of images x
ReplyDeleteOh! Look at her! It sounds like you've had an awful week. I hope the bonnet cheered you up a little, and I hope you are all better this week! Greer x
ReplyDeleteEverly is just way to cute, love her sweet smile and beautiful purple bonnet!
ReplyDeleteoh, i hope for both your sakes that the cold has cleared up. not fun for anyone!
ReplyDeletethat is such a cute bonnet! popping over to the shop to check it out now :)
eee! such a cutie. I find anxiety and insomnia sometimes come hand in hand. like an awesome two-for-one deal. loving everly in greer's creation. hope the recharging works a treat. x
ReplyDeleteGo gently hon. I'm feeling you on the anxiety stakes. Awful thing that it is, and for seemingly no apparent reason it hits me. I had my first reiki session last week, to see if that would help. What an experience. Things got brought up that i thought I'd dealt with, but I must say I have felt a lot more peaceful and at ease this week.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you, and hope you are healing and resting well xo
