holiday fun

As per usual the holidays have flown by, with only a few days left until school returns. I had a fantastic Christmas in Merbein (near Mildura)catching up with family and friends I haven't seen for many years. We haven't had the busiest of holidays but it has been great to take some time and veg out with the kids. We've been to the beach, movies, shopping, parks and playgrounds and bike riding. My little guy who turned 3 a few weeks ago and he can now ride his bike without training wheels. I'm so completely stunned at how quickly he picked it up and how he is already trying to do tricks........ My little baby is no longer a baby and although I love this new stage but I miss my tiny dependant bubba.

make over and over and over

Thursday night was Mum's night at Little Miss Blondie's kinder. It was a night full of fun and great activities for us to enjoy together. She did my nails, we did craft activities, painted together, read stories, danced and she did my make-up. Boy, did she do my make up! As you can see in the photo she does not have a "light touch" and I was by far the most made up of all the Mums. I wore my make-up proudly all evening and after getting home we did a quick photo shoot before it was washed off and reapplied "my style". I had to go out afterwards and wasn't too keen on displaying my daughters creative talents in public...

op shop treasures

I am hopeless when it comes to blogging lately. I have a mountain of excuses all of which are pathetic.
I'd love to say that I picked these treasures up the other day but truth be told it was weeks and weeks ago but I am still excited about them. After a visit to the trusty Chiro I popped in to an oppy nearby that can be trusted to have some great things. I love these cups and saucers and thought to myself that they looked familiar, thinking that maybe we had something similar when I was young. When I got home I realised I have the matching milk jug, doubley excited and very pleased with myself.

Twilight

It has been so long since I last wrote, I have been in the Twilight zone. For those of you who have read the books I'm sure you understand. I realise that I am a bit slow to get into them but honestly couldn't see what the hype was about and didn't think that i'd enjoy reading about vampires. How wrong could I have been??? In the last 10 days I have read the 4 books, watched the film, read Midnight Sun and have googled Twilight and watched the trailers for the films too many times to admit. I am so completely and utterly taken with Edward as well as Jacob and am struggling to get through the day (or an hour) without thinking of them. It is so consuming and from today I am promising myself to get a grip and get on with things........
Is there any other Twilighters who feel the same?

Daylesford

After the event and the lead up to the Open Studio last week I am in dire need of some relaxation. In an hour or so I am heading to Daylesford with 6 girlfriends for some R & R, well thats what we hoped for last time. 18 months ago we went and well, it was a little crazy. Too many Mums who hadn't been out for a while, too much drinking , too much singstar and weird hiphop/rap dancing whilst very intoxicated.......... I am hoping for a little more culture this time after all I am a grown up woman!
p.s. The appalling dancing was done by me and hopefully there will not be a repeat of it.
