Anzac Day!







Today is Anzac Day.. A day I feel truly blessed to live in such a wonderful country.. and thankful to all who fought for it.

A holiday for most( Not Moi... about to entertain the masses so to speak!.. But I wanted to post first before I head to work.. )

Most of us.. I fact nearly all of us would know someone, directly or indirectly who served for our country.. be it Grandfathers, Fathers..

My Dad served in the Vietnam War.. and is marching today. They recieved such a hard time upon returning home.. none of us knew what it was like.. what they saw.. had to do..lucky we didn't.Today I am glad they get the respect & recognition they deserve..I was trying to find a picture of my Dad.. all those years ago.. But they were saved on my media centre which died recently..!.. So I thought I'd post a picture of him & Coops at his 1st b'day. These are some of my favourites.


So very thankful to all who fought for us.. and who continue to do.. Lest We Forget. x

More Boys Room Inspiration....





Ok I have planning for months to move my little man into the back bedroom and set it up properly as a big boys room. Mainly because it's bigger & I can combine his play space in there as well..

Usually I am fixed on exactly wjat I want.. But I think I've been looking for way to long.. and have fallen in love with too many styles! clours.. wallpaper!.. bedlinen!.. I get so carried away!


When I finally decide I will post pics of what we finally go with! xx

A slight Chill in the air in Vegas!


Ahh yes.. Just few days ago.. you could feel the change in the weather.. that bite of summer has gone.. shorter days, and even a slight chill in that Queensland breeze... Yes Winter is on it's way.. well what we call Winter here in QLD..


Alot of Queensland houses have timber floors( mine included) & in Winter they are cold!.. My little fellow has grown so much since last Winter ( he was a wee baby! ) so new slippers were needed.. I have just ordered these.!

I love Cath.. have done for years. So great to see her brand going from strength to strength.

All things UK!



One of my favourite places in the world is the UK!.. OMG.. I love it.. a perfect lil cottage in the English country side is something I have always dreamed of.. & a terrace right in the heart of London.. near all of my favourite shops, cafes etc!..


Anyway.. The closest I have gotten is through selinalake.blogspot.com I love this lady and have followed her & her gorgeous work for quite some time..


I love these images.. In the UK it's wedding fever as you could imagine with the pending nuptials of Wills & Kate!.. How lovely though to do a UK inspired tea party for your little princess.. followed by some dress ups!.. Divine!
