I came home from my appointments this morning and my husband had ripped out our 80s sunshine ceiling in the kitchen.

It all of a sudden hit me like a tonne of bricks that we are actually going to do this – live without a proper kitchen for months while we reno the last untouched part of our house.

And then I started looking through my gazillion photos and I’m now teary at seeing all the moments we’ve had as a family under those horrible fluorescent lights.

I’ve taught little girls to crack eggs, we’ve made playdough, bathed bare bums in the sink, planned out business moves, learned to hold a pencil and print, eaten milestone birthday cakes, washed Barbie hair, carved pumpkins, and danced (so much dancing).

And although I can’t wait for the new, letting go of the old is harder than I ever thought it’d be.

This, my friends, is why all I want to do for the rest of my life is take photos in homes. Because they are so much more than walls and floors.
