 One thing is changing here in the guiltiest of kitchens and that’s the amount of time I have to spend on each and every blog post. Now that I am running two blogs, two Facebook pages, two Twitter streams, developing recipes, running a photography business and caring for the lives of two small children, one grown adult man, a rambunctious and crazy puggle and one lazy hamster (whew!) it seems there is one thing suffering and that is this blog.
I love Guilty Kitchen. It is a place for me to talk about my abnormal love affair with all things food related and I never want to give it up….I may have to dial it down though.
I continue to cook each and every day and when I make something fantastic, original and mouth wateringly good, I will no doubt share that with you. I will be taking most of my life happening-type blog posts over to the Garnett Wren Blog though, as that is where I need to share a huge amount of photos all the time. So join me over there will ya? I’d love for you to be on this journey with me.
Guilty Kitchen remains an essential part of my life and I hope you will continue to share it right along with me.

It’s been absolutely gorgeous out lately, even in the evening where we were presented with a fabulous full moon a few nights ago. It’s times like these that I wish I had a telescope or a telephoto lens. I had to make do with a 105mm and a creative crop. It reminds me of when I was a young kid and I used to lay out on the lawn with my best friend Courtnee, and watch the night sky. We’d tell each other all the constellations we knew and sing lame show tunes from Les Miserables and The Phantom of the Opera. Those care free summers of my youth…
But these days I only have a few minutes, if any to gaze at the night sky. The short gap between getting kids to bed, taking care of my own personal hygiene and then trying to squeeze in some intellectual type reading stuff before my eyelids glue themselves shut. If only there were more hours in the day, or an eight day week. But seeing as my new business is in it’s infancy, I’ve been practicing religiously in different lighting situations, from capturing a bright moon in complete darkness to photographing my daughter in the height of the afternoon sun.

Simplicity.
Something we all strive for in life, but how does one achieve it?
One can downsize, simplify… all well and good, but what does that really do? Won’t you just get right back in to accumulating and complicating things?
I want life to be like it used to be, before everything got all complicated and adult.

Today is a very special day.
Three years ago today at 3:10am, in a dimly lit hospital room full of busy nurses, I had the most excruciatingly painful experience of my life. This was the day I had my first child, a son (who weighed almost 9lbs. I may add). It was the most crazy, beautiful, painful, life changing event of my entire experience here on this earth….and I can remember almost the entire day.
Today is my son’s third birthday and he has changed so much in those short three years.
It is absolutely astonishing what happens to these tiny blobs of DNA and plasma as they grow into tiny humans full of willpower, humour, sorrow, fun and joyfulness. I cannot explain to anyone who has no children what this is like, because it is like nothing you will have ever experienced save for those who have had a child. There are times of anger, of frustration, of sadness, of sympathy, joy and empathy, happiness and giddiness. There are crazy ups and downs, doubts and bouts of confidence. It is all muddled into this totally imperfect aspect of life we call parenthood.
