Finally we can let the summer begin, after this crazy, crazy year….
And so we stepped out into a much longed for freedom….
If we hadn’t spent enough time spinning in circles around each other this year, this is the summer she became hula-hoop obsessed…. !
Every summer they rediscover their ability to be like fish in the water, 24/7 with friends and family, how we missed that!
Working from home means working from anywhere in the world, what a privilege that is indeed to continue being able to spend so much time together as a family, another good thing to come from these crazy times….
And more hula hoopin’….
It feels like we’ve left behind for a while at least, that powerful rollercoaster of lockdown emotions all confined in a small city space, homeschooling demands have been swapped out for that blissful summer life with no schedules at all…. Life passes more slowly here, and it’s a beauty to just enjoy living it as it passes….
Sometimes I simply feel depleted for words, these last few months have exhausted me both mentally and physically, not in a bad sense, but in the sense that all my energy has gone into living this time fully with my family. So here hopefully is where my photographs will be able to speak more than the words I am able to express right now.

Artifact motherhood is a collaboration of artists and mothers from around the world. Sharing stories of the joys and struggles of our journey. Our hopes and dreams for our children. With little nuggets of wisdom here and there. These are more than photographs with dates written on the back. These are the artifact we are leaving behind for children and the generations to come. Continuing the blog circle, next up is my wonderful friend Caro.
