Love Your Camera

01:02PM | July 30, 2010 | 5 comments

I recently did a Love Your Camera workshop with Angie Baxter and I can’t even begin to tell you about the journey I went on that Sunday. I’ve been trying to write the post for almost two weeks now and I’m still not sure if I’ll be able to share what I learnt in just [...]

Celebrate!

I bought Handmade Home by Amanda Blake Soule last year and I loved the projects inside it, highly recommended. One thing I wanted to do was make a bunting flag, not for Aidan’s room, but for his birthday party. The bunting could be used for ‘all’ my kids’ birthdays and even for mine and Steve’s, [...]

I wouldn’t say I love pancakes, I don’t might them but pan fried cake batter in the morning never really appealed to me. Maybe it’s because I can’t make nice ones, my sister can but mine never come out fluffy enough, they end up more like crepes. Every now and then I’ll feel like them [...]

Work it Baby

{image} Over the next few weeks I’ve signed myself up for a number of photography workshops, the first one is this Sunday and I am beyond excited! I’ve studied photography, I’ve studied business and my official title is Freelance Photographer but most of it was via correspondence and I just felt like I was a [...]

Homemade is sweeter

I made my birthday cake as I do every year. It looked just like the one the Blythe Doll as ‘eating’ in the previous post. Lots of lovely silky cream and Strawberries. I got a little crazy and drew happy smiley faces on them. It looked cute and made me happy. I made my rich [...]

My Place & Yours

This weeks MPAY theme is What’s on Your Fridge so I thought I’d show you mine. I only like to stick things onto the front of my freezer, I hate stuff on the fridge part. I bought a few magnetic photo paper bundles from Aldi last year and they’re fantastic for the fridge. I’ll start [...]

Pimp my MacPro

When I got my Mac Book Pro I was so excited, I found myself typing away at the dining table while I watched Aidan play on the lounge room floor, I took it to my bedroom, I took it outside. I quickly realised my new purchase was going to need some form of protection. I [...]

My Birthday

12:01AM | July 17, 2010 | 12 comments

{image} Today is my 25th birthday and I’m planning to make a cake similar to the one in the picture. I don’t know why but I’ve been obsessed with looking at dolls on Flickr this week, in case you hadn’t noticed. Might have something to do with playing house and the fact that every birthday [...]

Merrick, Dools & Ricki-Lee have been infecting my radio lately and I’ve been listening to all the people earning some crazy cash for the blandest of advertising efforts so I thought I’d have a go. Besides, my washing machine is on it’s way out and rego is due, couldn’t hurt to try my luck. So [...]

Chicken Apple Meatballs

01:15AM | July 16, 2010 | 11 comments

I bought this book when Aidan was younger and found it so informative and clever, I reference it all the time when it comes to Aidan’s meals and learning about his nutritional needs. One of the recipes I’ve been keen for him to try was the Chicken & Apple Meatballs. Now that he’s becoming more [...]

Bouncy Babe

Sponsored by Nuffnang I was given a Fisher-Price Precious Planet Playtime Bouncer to review last week and since I’d never bought Aidan a fancy bouncer I thought we’d give it a try. When I received the box I was surprised by how nice it looked and how quick it was to put together. Aidan climbed [...]

Hump Day

02:28AM | July 14, 2010 | 11 comments

{image} This week I’ve had a lot of heart to heart’s with Steve and we had a lovely night away in the city together with Aidan. It’s been refreshing, heated, sensual, compassionate, frustrating and to be quite honest… sexy. I’ve been reminded of the boy I met way back when and in awe of the [...]

{image} I’ve wanted to blog all day. The words seem to be on the tip of my tongue but I can’t spit them out. I’m going to try my best to put my feelings out there but I’m not sure I’ll be successful. I had a huge range of photo filled posts planned for all [...]

Dwelling

{image} They say it happens when you fall in love, when you get married and when you get pregnant. For me it happened once Aidan started walking. I don’t know why but it did. All of a sudden I imagined him running about and banging into the walls of our small rental house. I wanted [...]

Break Away

12:15PM | July 8, 2010 | 6 comments

{image} This afternoon Steve and I are taking Aidan into the city for a little mini break. I know, I know, I just got back from visiting family but this is different. This is me and Steve getting a little air and taking little Aidan with us for an adventure, just the 3 of us. [...]

This weekend I decided that I wanted to go to visit my mum so I packed up the baby and all his stuff, kissed hubby goodbye and went on my merry way. The drive itself took about an hour longer than usual but considering I was doing it solo and managed a few tea breaks [...]
