Perfect Timing, as per usual
Because, you know, everything in my life is so well planned and equally well executed {HA, I jest}, I obviously thought that getting a full foot tattoo and moving into our first home {!!!!!!!!} in the same week would be no big deal. Because I …
Milo Play Zone Event – Birkenhead, Auckland
As part of their major Australasian Campaign to get our little ones playing EVERY day, Milo have created a series of free events across Australia and New Zealand with the goal of encouraging and developing active play. FUN! Check dates on the official FB page here
Dave and I took the day off work last Wednesday, ‘borrowed’ some neighbourhood kids and headed along to have some fun.
The array of activities, the venue, the number of stoked & enthusiastic Play Facilitators {I made that name up btw!} all contributed to a wicked morning! Make sure you can get along to one of these events, there are some Play Tour Events in Sydney this weekend, check the Facebook page for details. If you missed it earlier you can watch my interview with Dr Grant Schofield here
Daily Look | On Sundays we rest
A couple of hours after the work on my foot was finished I began to feel the pain that I had been expecting (but was strangely absent) during the 3.5hr session. I am now laid up and immobile waiting for Dave to return home with …
Things I’m Loving
- Ethan and Dave won this DVD last week and oh how we love it and oh how we laugh! The jingles are infectious as is everything about this cute series. Definitely for a slightly older audience on Cartoon Network.
- The wind has been blowing SE for weeks bringing hot (ish) settled weather. When it is offshore Muriwai becomes a magical place in the late afternoon. The light is stunning; you just can’t help but take 10,000 pictures!
- I LOVE sushi lunch dates with my little man. He has such great taste in food it makes me so thankful we don’t have to eat cheeseburgers every time we are lunching on the run.
- I spent 3.5 hours on Saturday staring out this window. It was absolutely worth it as even though I can’t walk right now I have a beautiful tattoo for my Dad on my foot – always anchoring me and leading me forward.
I love Paisley Jade’s Blog. It’s pretty, all about family and she is always cooking or DIYing something awesome. This weekly reminder to be thankful for all the little things around us is hosted by her – so visit!
Daily Look | Finally, a Pea Coat!
I have been coveting Pea Coats for years, I love the traditional boxy lines and double breasted military styling and I finally have one to call my own! And. It was cheap. RRP $199 {still tres cheap} but right now Max have $50 off jackets! …
PLAY | My Interview with Dr Grant Schofield
Dr Grant is awesome! So easy to chat with and he had some GREAT ideas about play and what we can do to fire our kids up! Hello – THE TV IS BROKEN. Genius. I guess this counts as my first {kinda} vlog?? Let me …
Daily Look | Happiness in the palm of your hand
There is nothing, absolutely nothing in the world that makes Ethan happier than rock pools. Money cannot buy the satisfaction that the beach and the animals that live there bring our son, but the rewards are priceless. Muriwai on Sunday was drop dead gorgeous stunning hot. Thank you!
