Acquisitions | We Who See Flatform Sandals

Acquisitions | We Who See Flatform Sandals

Did you die over this sandal or not so much?  Let me count the ways I love these flatforms from We Who See; leather? check, fave teal colour? check, platform? check, super comfy? check, On sale for $19 USD? Check.  Shopping the Northern Hemisphere end 

Sun.Day

Sun.Day

Haha, that is ever so optimistic in the wake of the weather bomb that kept me up last night.  Loud; swirling wind refused to take note of bed time. It’s the last day of the holidays and my little home-body refuses to budge.  He is 

Saturday Love

Saturday Love

Officially the longest short week ever, but it’s over! Life is feeling slightly more normal as we gave settled into a routine with Dave home again. Ethan and the dogs have calmed things down to a dull roar around the man of the house and the sun is shining!

Touch_rugby

You know without a doubt that despite weekend weather bombs {grrrr, the sideways rain just started}, Summer is definitely around the corner when touch season starts!  We played our first game on Thursday night and had so much fun.  Can’t wait until we get through the strategic grading rounds and we can go hard.  Love it.

Urban_outfitters_delivery

 Loving another week of Friday deliveries!  Hooray, our work courier seems to have his timing perfected.  This box of goodness was not free darn it, but the shipping was; good on you Urban Outfitters, I love thee.

Swiss_chocolate

SO much loving the bounty of Swiss chocolate that Dave returned home with.  Those Europeans are crazy about hazelnut I guess?  I don’t mind though, I will soldier on and not be picky :::::bwahaha, I LOVE HAZLELNUT CHOCOLATE!  I have decided there is actually no equal.  Carry on :::::

DAve Jack

Ahh Dave Jack.  Loving having you home and just sitting and chatting and NOT face-timing – that just got weird after 6 weeks.  We found that when one of you only has exciting, marvellous, beautiful things to talk about and the other only has mundane, run of the mill everyday stuff to talk about sometimes less is more – i.e. less video chat, more normal phone convos.

Kids_Icecream_cones

Big_foot_calls

So much loving reconnecting with old friends this week.  Ethan and Jesse haven’t hung out for a year but have known each other for 6 grand years i.e. Jess’s whole life!  We had a fab day at the Reptile Park and can’t wait to go back.  The boys got amongst some Big Foot spotting in the bush and perfected the art of ‘Squatch calls.  Jess shouted E an ice-cream in Warkworth and the day was deemed a massive success!

Fashion_pics

This is what happens now Daddy is home.  There are two people to mock me during Wardrobe Wednesday pics.  Awesome.

Catching_fish

This is my fave pic of the week.  Loving that on the last day of the holidays, the sun was shining and Dave took his boy fishing.  Let’s just be clear that Ethan was not fishing for sport, dinner, or weight record here, he just wanted to reel in any fish and release.  They had a magic day x

I wholeheartedly believe that no matter what is happening in your life, there is always something you can be thankful for..no matter how simple it is.

Yummy! | Popsicle Milkshake Swirls Giveaway {closed}

Our family LOVES sampling and reviewing products so last week we were so excited to receive a delightful {and beautiful!} package of Popsicle Milkshake Swirls to try.  We are mad ice cream fans, who sneak up to our local 4 Square far too often.  I justify 

What I Wore | High Low Skirt

What I Wore | High Low Skirt

This outfit consists of three pretty basic staples; my ancient denim jacket, a black satin cowl neck blouse and a neutral skirt. What pulled it together were the accessories. I have been trying to pay more attention to my jewellery, scarves and shoes as they

Dave. Is. Home. Huzzah!
Ethan planned a disco to celebrate. At 5.30pm we met in the lounge, E served drinks, he made sure everyone {Dave, Mum and I} had chips and dip, and then we played games. Hide and seek, indoor boomerang champs, limbo. We had homemade pizza for dinner and Shi Tzu cake and strawberries for dessert – menu by E of course – and way too many Swiss chocolates!
It was exhausting. But cute. Life might soon return to normal.

Things I’m Loving Friday

Things I’m Loving Friday

Oh yes. This week has been all kinds of good. I survived the Boat Show, Ethan has been delightful {YES!!!}, there has been time and funds for shopping and some projects have been completed. AND DAVE COMES HOME TOMORROW!!!!!!! 6 long weeks are over. Ethan 

Acquisitions | A Tale of Two Coins Pendant

Acquisitions | A Tale of Two Coins Pendant

Sometimes the coolest finds are the ones you didn’t know you were looking for. I stumbled across this bespoke necklace on twitter and snapped it up. It’s made from a NZ penny and half crown and is amaze. A Tale of Two Coins by Pallina 

What I Wore | Spring Layers

What I Wore | Spring Layers

Before I left the house I had to put a jacket on.  It’s that kind of weather, changing every five minutes and messing up my hair.  BTW, I am actually counting down the minutes until my hair appointment tomorrow afternoon, my roots are hideous.

Anywho, back to why we’re here.  I like this outfit, it’s warm, colourful and comfy and as promised I have worn some different shoes!  The bag was an un-expected little splurge.  I admired it at full price and the next time I visited it was on sale!  Hoo-ray.

By the way, I LOVE Wardrobe Wednesday.  It really makes me get a little more inventive with how I dress, plus, a little more forgiving of myself when it comes to my own self-image.  It gets easier each week and I’m definitely becoming less self-conscious about sharing what I wear to you three avid readers!  Thanks Miriam!

I had a much needed day off today and loved every minute of it. I lazed in bed and was treated to breakfast cooked by Ethan! He whipped up the best half-cooked crumpets sans butter I have ever had. My little boy truly amazed me
