A jolly damn good happy time

Reading a few of my previous posts I am struck by one thing! I seem very happy with all the gorgeousness in my life. Oh to be me ;) Silver lining, pretty rainbows, and all that! x

New Bub!

Our second gorgeous baby girl has arrived! Alessandra Lulu is now 6 weeks old. It's lovely to have 2 girls, we are very blessed :) The birth went well and she is settling into life in the pink house with her big sister.

Waiting

The waiting game is on again...  3 more days to my due date for bub no. 2. Hoping he/she decides to come soon. In the meantime enjoying a lovely long Easter weekend with my hubby, toddler and dog.  We had an egg hunt this morning and I am full of yummy chocolate eggies!! The sun is shining and life is good.

SPACECRAFT Art Play

A new edition to our home today. A beautiful side table/seat from SpaceCraft.  Love love love it! A  unique printed piece made from recycled strips of plywood. Dreaming of owning some of their gorgeous bed linen. If your in the area check out their new retail space in Hawksburn, 572 Malvern Road, Prahran East.

Oh so Social

Happy Valentine's Day!

The last 4 days have seen us be more social than the last 3 months. Maybe its because we have just over 10 weeks until bub no.2 arrives and with it the arrival of limited sleep :)

Coffee catch-ups, dinner, walks, 2 old year birthday parties, and a very funny scrabble night.  Who knew scrabble could be so funny.

blue skyes

I had a wonderful catch-up with a new friend yesterday, Skye Jefferies.  A beautiful talented soul that I met at yoga moves in Balaclava. She had a busy 2010, starting a new business, making some stunning new work and growing a bub in her tummy!

I love her latest screen prints. Such a gorgeous color palette and lovely organic shapes.  I am very much looking forward to seeing more.

Head over to Isle of Skye and see more of her illustrative and graphic design work.

Carrots anyone

Trixie and I did some gardening today and filled a bowl full of baby carrots.

It's time to make carrot and chickpea soup.

YUM!

Happy New Year

So it comes around again. Another New Year and resolutions to be made. I aspire to achieve many things this year and hopefully will be able to achieve a few.  More time with my family, eat less cake, meet new people... I could go on but instead I will take inspiration from Motherland’s To Resolve Project.

Spring... da de da de da da

It might still only be 10 degrees but the sun is shining and I am smiling. I love spring! Things are happening I feel some progress and I will have something to share very soon.

a walk in the park

Will this cold windy wintery Melbourne weather please go away. I think I am not alone when I say... bring on Spring! The weather might be cold outside but we still managed to have a lovely weekend. The sun poked its head out on Sunday morning and we went for a stroll thru the beautiful Royal Botanic Gardens. It was a nice change to walk the paths instead of running the tan around the outside.

Magnolia Square

We went to Magnolia Square this morning, lots of beautiful things to admire. Beatrix it seems is the perfect height for reaching all the wonderful goodies magnolia square has to offer. Which is fun for little Trixie but not so fun for the mummy. It was a very busy morning but we managed to come away with a lovely Moomin book, some fudge, a yummy pink cupcake and a little peg doll.

blink and you will miss it

September 2008 was a loooong time ago. So much for keeping up with my blog. Its been a busy year and a half. Our little bubba is no longer a bubba but a gorgeous toddler. She is full of love and giggles and makes us so very happy. Life is full of contentment.

A beautiful day in Melbourne, perfect for coffee and sandwiches and a very relaxing facial at Auroa Day Spa. How spoilt am I...
