"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013."

Sofia - Always keen to help mama in the kitchen.  What you don't see behind that silly smile is her determined desire to fling the flour all over the walls.
Alba - Sweet girl, one month old and growing more and more each day. Chunks!

I've completely fallen behind in blogging (newborn babies tend to take up loads of time) but I'm jumping back in to recognizing just a few favorite posts from last week including: these polaroids from the talented Sisilia, and the vintage feel from this photo of Being Mumma's.

    Oh so so beautiful. Sweet Sofia's smile may be silly but her impish grin gives it all away (I secretly wish I could fling flour as well). xo

    They're both so precious. Sofia's smile can definitely say she's into mischief :).
