A Milestone Reached….
We celebrated little Milla’s first birthday today. It was so lovely to see everyone. Time flies by and it is nice to stop and celebrate together with family and friends. The skies opened and the rain poured but it didn’t dampen anyone spirits! HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY xoxoxo
The Most Important Thing in Ben’s Life…..
Ben’s Pre-Prep are participating in the ‘Through Children’s Eyes Photography Exhibition’. The images are taken by the children and themed around them capturing the things they feel are most important in their lives. Well…… guess what Ben picked…….. Mum’s DS!!! He told his teacher is was ‘because I like to play games on it everyday’. In his dreams maybe!!! So today when we got home we needed to take a photo of the DS. Ben said to me ‘Mum when we find the DS from your hiding place and take a photo….. Can I play it?’
Here is the photo. It is the only one in focus. We used my Nikon so I had to steady the camera while Ben looked through the viewfinder and pressed the button. Pretty good hey……
This is what Ben had to say about his picture ‘ This is the DS. Obi Wan Kenobi is a Jedi Knight in his ship. I like to play Star Wars Lego on Mum’s DS. It is my VERY favorite game.’ Very cute and I don’t know why I should expect anything but Star Wars to be what is important to Ben at the moment….. he just loves it. Mrs Symonds his teacher is learning about Star Wars very quickly!! She is so very patient and kind.
On a different note……. Ben’s school is getting a very important visitor next week. Prince William is dropping in for a visit while he is in Australia…… pretty special!!!
A Little Miracle xoxo
A new baby is like the beginning of all things – wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities.
After a incredibly long journey Phil and Tam have met their little miracle! A baby girl, Grace Ivy Lattimore – born ten days early at 1.48pm Saturday the 12 March. She weighs 5lb 15ou and is 46cm long. She is just beautiful….. a precious gift for her Mum and Dad.
Andrew, Ben and I got to cuddle our new niece/cousin today. She makes your heart melt. We are so full of joy for Phil, Tam and Baby Grace as they begin their wonderful adventures of family life. WELCOME TO THE WORLD BABY GRACE, YOU ARE SO LOVED!!
My Kind of Eye Candy….Mmmmm!
I love love love love online shopping!! I am attempting to limit my online shopping…..oh it is sooo hard. But here are some online discoveries I am loving. I thought if I add them to my blog – it might feel like retail therapy. I’m just looking not buying (well mostly xoxo)!
I just love these Mary-Jane slippers, especially since the weather is just cooling off a little. They are available here.
This just tickled my fancy….. me and chickens….. who would have thought. But I love them and can just picture this in my home. It is available here.
I am looking for some invitations for Ben’s birthday party (about four weeks away). I thought these looked cute. They are here.
Aren’t these seriously super cute. Don’t ask me what I would do with them…. but I love them. Ben would love them, they are about lego man size! You can get them here.
I just love these peg clips. I have the perfect spot for them over the computer….. but I am just looking. They are from here.
I am really loving these stamps and think maybe they would fit in with my new business labeling …. somehow? They are also from here.
It is not secret that I love bunting….. everyone should. It just makes me smile. I am going to make some cake bunting for Ben’s birthday cake (Star Wars colours unfortunately!!). These are available here, here and here.
Finally, I couldn’t resist this shirt for Ben. I did actually purchase it. It’s from my favorite ever t shirt designer ….Well Spotted and is available here.
This has felt a little like shopping…… well kind of. Enjoy my kind of Candy!
I am going to link up with Paisley Jade today (one of my favorite blogs!!) – Things I am loving.
