Hey Reader,
I take a lot of pictures. But I’m sure you could have guessed that by now.
But want to see one of my favourite pictures on a visit to Geelong?
This is a picture of my daughter. I love it because of the memory behind it.
Yes, I was forcing her to get in front of the camera again, but right before this shot my daughter spilt her milk all down her dress. I saw that she was about to get so upset so I made some ridiculous joke, and we all had a laugh…and that’s what you see here.
I’d love to help you create a moment for your “favourite family picture” too. That’s why I sit down to write this newsletter - so that you can have more fun with your kids and make happy memories, every week.
Here’s to laughing over spilt milk!
Joyce xx
P.S. Hit reply with a snapshot of the family if you feel comfy with that. I’d love to see your lot!
