Playtime...

While mommy and daddy work (and while school is closed) this is how my boy spends his days...

What would we do without grandparents?

Wormy...

Wormy is a firm favorite in our home.... he has become the wholes families good friend!! He likes to be used as a pillow for Mr Oliver.
 He doesn't mind joining Lolly for breakfast...
And he gives the best cuddles!
We love you Mr Wormy!

Birthday outings...

On Tuesday I got to spend my birthday with my favorite boys! The morning was spent having breakfast.... Our boys sits so nicely and eats....



We then visited Nan and grandpa.... where Lolly sat on the floor and ate his grapes.
Home for a nap then we got ready for some afternoon tea...
My boy ate some lunch on the couch and looked a little too much like a lazy teenager to us!!
We went to Lucky Bean which is a lovely tea place that is super kid friendly, Oliver LOVED it and we got to watch him play while we had our tea. Mom, dad, Ryno and Wella joined us....



Lucky bean is our new favorite spot!
A very busy and tiring day but love spending it with my boys!!

A little sunshine....

Yesterday we spend some time at the beach - it was a lovely hot day and we had lots of fun!!
 We had a little swim in the sea....




Mr Lolly also had his first ever ice-cream!

 He really enjoyed it!!


Mike and I have made a pact - more sun, more outdoors, more fresh air!

When he is tired...

When our bean is tired a few things tend to happen -
1) Teddy is found and cuddled
2) The dummy is found and enjoyed
3) and the books come out....



Nap time inevitably follows...

Sneak peak..

A few weeks ago we had a little family shoot as we like to do each year.... here is the little sneak peak.
We now just have to choose our favorites and then we get the originals - CANT WAIT! Thank you Tammy Seaman photography - you captured so many gems!

Christmas eve...

We are hosting Christmas eve this year.... Lolly has invited a friend Savannah and I am trying to make their little Christmas special too. I am putting together a little gift bag for them with some bubbles and a glow sticks and a sweety or two... exciting!
I am also made them each their own little reindeer juice/iced tea....

I am quite sure that they wont really appreciate it being a little younger but its for Tammy and Me more as mommy's :)

Sunday morning...

Sunday morning it was Mikes turn for a little sleep in so when Lolly called "mommmma" I was there to attend to prince Oliver's every need...
It began with a nappy change and breakfast - I made him an omelette but while it cooled Ollie had a little cheese starter.

We were also chatting to Aunty Jayde over whatsapp so we took a few early morning selfies hence the bed hair and sleepy eyes - check out cute this kid is!



Miss you so much Aunty Jayde!!! Love you forever and wish we were closer!!!

Friday playtime...

On Friday we had a power outage at work so we got to go home early.... that meant more Lolly time!
That smile just melts my heart!!
We had lots of fun and shared some biscuits....

I LOVED the little bit of extra time with my boy....

A little inspiration...

We have been watching Masterchef lately and I just want to cook!! I saw a week or two ago a groupon special for 2 past masterchef cook books for a steal and they arrive today - very exciting!
I cant wait to try a few recipes...
On Friday night I tried a new recipe that is a definite winner... apricot and almond stuffed chicken breasts with roast veggies.

 Hmmmmm yum! I am keen to try gnocchi and some home made ravioli!

My husband.

My husband is the BEST. Yesterday driving home from work I was starving and found a apple in my lunch bag. It looked a bit bruised so he offered to bite into it and check it for me - it was so brown and yucky... BUT how amazingly sweet is that! He saved me a nasty bite of an apple.... to me that is love! Thank you bean for showing me love in so many ways every day!

Vintage Christmas decorations...

My mom went to hospice and managed to find me the cutest present ever! Vintage Christmas lights that sing 8 different Christmas tunes, I LOVE them!



Presents like this make me feel known and loved, its not about the money spent but about knowing what is special to me. Thanks precious mom!

My little clown...

My little clown of a child has realized that when mommy tries to take a nice photo its much more fun to pull funny faces! He was eating is sandwich so beautifully with puppy and wormy but when my camera come out this is what happened :)


 I even tried to sneak one from another angle but he is too clever!
I absolutely LOVE how Ollie's personality is starting to come through - he is so full of fun and teasing... he is going to provide so much wonderful entertainment!
