I haven’t managed to get my mojo back yet, but Wardrobe Wednesday perks me up a little bit, at least enough to pull a post together {even if I can’t pull together an outfit to save my life this week!}. Ethan and I attended a …
That’s it people. That’s all I have this week. The last bite of bakery caramel slice that just went up in price .60c and simultaneously shrunk. The nerve of you Hollywood Bakery! I am tired, I don’t feel good, my bank manager is away and the women …
Here’s a wee tip fellow bloggers; whenever you are lacking in inspiration and have reached the very bottom of your creative souls, head over to the New Zealand Herald website and have a quick browse among the Life & Style section – there is no end of bullshit here which should either; enrage you to the point of seeing red > hello opinion piece, or will make you giggle so much you will feel compelled to write a scathing post on the author’s complete lack of sensibilities.
Of course I have done all of these things:
and I’m about to again. Because I have opinions people and sharing is caring right?
Dita de Boni do you actually have a soul, or a scrap of imagination or motherly fun tucked away in your Journalist of the Year cap? This weeks Keeping Mum blog titled, “I Hate Halloween” seems to be written from the authors usual high moral ground, empahasizing her hatred of Halloween, apparently stemming from our country’s love of sugar! The ample baking at her husbands work place contributes to her Halloween-phobia, as does free Mr Whippy’s as a treat for for employees, apparently Halloween angst takes many forms and to top it all off HER KIDS ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT!
The horror.
If your kids are super excited about Halloween simply because of the possibility of free lollies, maybe evil sugar has become just a tad bit marginalized in your household? There is so much to enjoy about Halloween least of all is the candy, let us count the ways;
I had been lusting after these sneaks for an age and they finally popped up in the sale section at UO. Could not resist. These will definitely be my go-to comfy flats this season {added bonus, small socks are completely invisible!}.
The weather in Aucks {and the rest of New Zealand} has been totally shit lately. Super cold, windy enough to blow one of our huge palms over and rainy rainy rainy. Hate. Every time I wear these boots I think “this HAS to be the …
We finished picking, packing and wrapping our families contribution to Operation Christmas Child this weekend. I have discovered that I am absolute rubbish at wrapping cardboard shoe boxes {how can it be so hard?}.
I thought I would share what we included in our gift box in case you needed some ideas or are still undecided about whether or not you will contribute to this amazing charity.
So, we decided to prep our gift for a young boy around Ethan’s age (7);
INSIDE THE BOX
There is a drop off location just off Lincoln Rd in Henderson so we plan on delivering our Christmas Shoebox on Wednesday!
How are your families donations coming along?
How nice would it be too have a sunny l o n g weekend? No wind? It would be delish. But at least there was yesterday. Mum and I set off to visit my Nana and check out the new retail area in Silverdale. Turns …
I am SO excited about this project, I can’t stop thinking about how awesome it is, how easy it is, how absolutely meaningful it is and how much we are going to enjoy putting it together with Ethan. Of course I discovered it on Create …
I am just itching to get into summer clothes, or at the very least some springy outfits but the weather is just not co-operating. I am loving cuffed skinny jeans at the moment, at least I can wear some summery shoes and keep my layers and merino up top!
