Marshall thought he was dropping me off at the airport to say goodbye.

We surprised him with a trip to North Lapland, Finland, above the Arctic Circle, for a magical meeting with Santa.

Watch…

Merry Christmas.

Always follow your dreams. x

Mum: I’ve got really good news for you. Your website was nominated for a really big award! What do you think about that?

Marshall: GREAT!

Mum: And, do you know what that means?

Marshall: YES!

Mum: What does that mean?

Marshall: My website got nominated…

Mum: Do you know what a website is?

Marshall: Something that you put on your computer or your phone.

Note from mum:

Thanks so much for all your support over the past four and a half years. We’ve been documenting the tiny moments of a boy’s life as he discovers the world – both the ordinary and the extraordinary. We don’t publish often, but when we do it is because we have something to share. And we’re so glad you’re enjoying it.

A photographic summary of 2014

tiny — Thu, 01 Jan 2015 07:26:38 +0000

2014 was a big year:

We left our home in Australia
We travelled 35,000km+ by boat, train and bus
We visited 22 countries
We said lots of goodbyes, but even more hellos (and in more than 10 different languages)

In case you missed it, here are photos from each post of 2014 in chronological order.

Happy 2015 everyone,

Love The {Tiny} Times x0

I went to the coat factory but I really wanted to see snow. Is it almost Christmas? Will there be snow at Christmas? – Marshall

Mum note – this is not a paid post. Marshall and I were both interested in seeing how the winter coats are made and were invited to check out behind-the-scenes at Canada Goose HQ in Toronto, Canada. Enjoy!
