Juicing 101 | Doing it on a budget

There are certain things in life that I like to embrace early; fashion, home style, technology, apps, digital media……. but diving into the latest diet and nutrition phase as an early adopter is not something I’m into. I’m not a paleo, raw food, protein only,

nixon: alongside all of the other things you do that your brother never did, you are a climber, especially fond of using your dump trucks as step ladders – you are a most determined baby.  you pulled your blankets out of your bottom drawer, then settled in for a good play – with more than a few cheeky glances over your shoulder to see if i was watching!  {i was, and yes concerned reader, he was safe from any furniture tipping}.

mumm-blogger-new-zealandethan: nothing much to say here aside from “damn we make some gorgeous boys dave jack!”  actually there is much to say, such as; may you never, ever fuss about a haircut as much as you fussed about this one and why must the best hair-cut you’ve ever had be from a kiosk in whangarei!!!!

Kiwi Mummy Blog Review – Vitarium Sugar Free Drinking mixes

Kiwi Mummy Blog Review – Vitarium Sugar Free Drinking mixes

I’m not a huge milk fan, to be honest I really, really don’t enjoy milk.  This makes remembering to offer it to my kids a wee bit of a problem. Problem now solved as I don’t have to remember – Ethan simply asks for milk 

Hello Friday | 9am.

Hello Friday | 9am.

I love 9am. Everyone has gone to work, gone to school, gone to sleep.   The PIA dogs are lazing their way through the morning, asleep on someone’s bed probably, but at least they aren’t barking or taking a dump on the carpet at this stage

I was totally one of those girls that avidly scanned the beach for the perfect shell ring, until I found the next one and then the reject was relegated to a pendent, strung on a leather thong around my neck……for years.

Luckily for me Kingsway Design have cast my fave shell rings in gorgeous stirling silver;  The Coastal Collection pretty much comprises my whole jewellery wish list right now.  My earrings are beautiful, I love them.

Cook | Meyer Lemon Cookies Recipe

We have an amazing little trooper of a lemon tree that is only two seasons old but has produced a bumper crop this winter.  So, lemon recipes are go!   This cookie recipe is a winner, quite a different texture; lovely and soft and cakey

nixon:  typically, the most attractive, exciting place for you to be is where the big boys are.  when there are blankets and pillows on the floor for rolling in, hidden dogs snuggling to discover and harass, and game controllers and remotes to obsess over, there is no place you’d rather be.  of course it helps that the bigs turned around every thirty seconds to love all over you and shower you with kisses and tickles xx

ethan:  we were housebound for the first five days of the holiday so when the sun came out we made the most of it.  i took you, your bestie and nix hiking in the waitakere ranges on sunday and we had a blast.  the recent rainfall made the waterfalls spectacularly deafening and the river was as high as we have ever seen it.  you have been such a pleasure to spend time with these holidays, it will be a very quiet house when you go back to school!

Acquisitions | MOX Moccasins
