I can’t even handle how small and cute Aston is here! A throw back to sit nicely on my IG feed next to a photo taken yesterday of us together. Loved shooting these editorials with @heykarenwoo for WHATWOULDKARLDO #throwbackthursday

My biggest baby starts year 3 this year 😭 I can’t believe I will have two kids in school! I remember saying “when Aston is in year 3, Will will be in prep!” And that time is now! Best advice? If you have a tiny child, enjoy every moment because when you blink, they will be a school kid! 💙 (I wear @bandestudio cardi/ @viktoriaandwoods mules and an old denim skirt that is so ripped from wear- I need a new one!)

With thanks to amazing skin by using @libertybellerx (especially the BRAVEHEART cleanser) I thought I’d show you my SUPER QUICK barely there makeup for a day-to-day look. I have been using the @chanel.beauty blush for about 15years now and can’t beat it! Here I don’t have any foundation on, just good skin, a lash lift with some mascara and the Chanel hydra balm, hydrating mist and a hint of concealer where needed. It’s time to age gracefully with less makeup yet with a good base💫 #makeup #chanelbeauty

So it seems you all love these pants I wore today (as seen on my stories). TBH, I was gifted them in the middle of last year and never wore them because I was worried about my... ahum... caesarean bump (that will never go away and is very distinctive- this light you can’t see it). I threw these on today because I knew they would feel so comfy and with the right top (this @Zara top has lovely detail to the neckline to draw the eyeliner up) to compliment the pants- I was not worried at all about any bumps that may or may never have shown and the amount of compliments I received on the street definitely proved that most of the time- it’s all in your head! Adding swipe up in my stories for the pants xx

A reminder that we are ALL uniquely influential and are ALL uniquely equal in our quest to help our country, our people and our wild life.

Enjoying a much deserved family break after a very busy December 🥰It was only two years ago when Lorne was close to the bushfires during our Aussie summer. In 1969, my father in law, Gary Dempsey, was burnt in a bushfire close to his home in Truganina, he spent six weeks in hospital and the town lost their primary school and other historic bluestone buildings. Today, we are praying for rain and for so much more for those amongst the red hell that is burning our country. I will continue to share the donation links with you so we keep the support alive for those affected.

Our country needs our help. Here I am, sitting under complete blue skies (swipe across) and breathing clean air, in the same country, same state as those facing hell on earth. People are left with nothing, people are risking their lives to save others and OUR land. I felt it was so important for me to share the message of “HELP” to everyone who sees this. As I enjoy a day where my home and life isn’t threatened, I will do my part and donate. I also would love to know if anyone can point out any donation centres for physical products for families, children, babies, homes etc, so I can share this with my followers. Those who have lost, you are in my prayers.

It wasn’t the most wonderful start to 2020, but I sure as hell tried. Another day, another solo parenting-can’t-quite-get-out-successfully-without-something-going-wrong day. For the first time ever, I put the scooters in the boot and took the boys to the park, a genius idea I thought I’d try as so many other families do this right? A quick few laps around the park before we head back for Freddie’s nap, sounded like a great way to get out and do something fun for everyone. Let the slow clapping begin, this mum just found a ‘ticks all boxes’ outing (fresh air, no screens, exercise, skill building, free fun) - can’t wipe that smile off my face! Sunscreen them one at a time as they leave the car to collect their scooters, helmet on one child, helmet on two, hellllll.... where’d he go? Before Aston had even gone near his scooter, he ran up to see the park basketball ring, tripped up between the grass and the concrete and planted head first, no scooter or helmet in sight, just concrete. So, as it goes, I pressed the rewind button, helmets off, scooters in the boot and kids back in the car and off to home we went.
What I did find, out of all of this, was a little shining light of 2020, which I was so glad I could quickly capture. Two brothers, two very completely different boys, who spent most of their time in 2019 fighting, punching and arguing, realising that they are, in fact, brothers and walk arm in arm knowing that they have each other’s backs forever in a time of need. This glimpse of brotherhood simply replaces my opening line above, as it turns out, every day can have some kind of wonderful if you just look a little harder. My 2020 motto is ‘perspective’.

As I sit here in my third week of school holidays getting cabin fever and nothing special to show you, I thought I’d share one of my fave editorials from my decade of blogging. When blogging was in its early days, it was all about creating editorial style imagery and recently evolved to more relatable and caught in the moment content. I truly miss being creative director, model and stylist in my WHAT WOULD KARL DO? Editorials and working along side some of the photographers that made my blog as successful as it is (@heykarenwoo @lisalouise @katie.fergus @simplysocialmgt ). Who knows what the next decade would evolve to 🧐 Fun Fact: this first image we shared by @kourtneykardash and @khloekardashian when they launched their clothing line (the trousers).
