staying cool

Its been really hot here in Ballarat. A trip to the local water park is just what Miranda and Ronan needed. 

Stay cool this summer :)

No words :)

My new years resolution is to be as happy as my son Ronan.

There are no words to describe how much I love this little guy :)

A blissful weekend

Did you have a great weekend? I sure did.

The weather has been glorious here. Spring is so near....yay!

A drive to Daylesford was a definite must do.

Had a look at the Mill Markets. Lots of interesting things. Didn't buy anything....sigh :( Saving up my $ for something exciting (he he)

Ronan loved this vintage rocking horse....so did mummy.

 Miranda looked so pretty today, I had to take her picture.

She is so camera shy (ha ha)

She is wearing a very sweet dress by Seed and a cute floral Cath Kidston bag.

After church, family came over for lunch. Chocolate brownies....yum :)

 Didn't have a lot of luck thrift shopping this week.

What I did find was a cute nanna rug, a couple of retro cups, a 1960's big pencil with a tin world globe, and this ace sewing book. It has a pattern sheet for the clothes pictured. Some of the clothing is just wild... I love it :)
Check out all these other great flea market finds at Her Library Adventures.

 I really like this dress

 hmmm :)

 sweet

 I also managed to do a bit of sewing. Something pretty for the house. I ran out of light to take photos so you'll just have to wait till tomorrow.

Check out Ronans new Pj's

I managed to take a few picks today. Let me tell you, it wasn't easy.

My little rocket man darted all over the place. I took heaps of pics, but these were the only ones in focus.

Want some cute pj's like these for your own little rocket man ?

They are on sale for $29.95 (normally $49.95) Hurry! limited stock available.

Go check it out HERE

new pj's for Ronan

How sweet are these pj's? How adorable is the model?...my cute two year old son Ronan. I'm so thrilled with how they turned out, I've made some for the shop in sizes 0-3. Ronan is modelling a size 2. The fabric is so cute!!! It's a high quality quilters cotton with a toy soldiers print (see close-up pics) If you would like a pair, you'll need to be quick as I only had a limited amount of fabric. I'm keeping a set for Ronan....he will look so cute sitting under the Christmas tree Christmas morning, opening presents, dressed in these sweeties.

If you think the size 2 are cute, wait till you see the size 0 (awwww)

The pjs are starting to work their magic. Notice how sleepy he looks.

" That's it mum, I quit!

I'm ready for a nap".

***Happy Birthday Ronan***

My baby turned 2 today.

Where did the time go? Seems like only yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital....sigh.

I've really enjoyed being a mum the fourth time around.

Ronan is the sweetest little boy. That smile and cheeky giggle melts my heart every time.

Happy Birthday little man.

The Black forest cake was delicious....by the way...YUM!

Cool cut for a cool kid

Ronan had his first proper haircut at a hairdressers this week. His hair was getting ridiculously long....he was starting to blow his fringe out of his eyes...so cute.

I'd been past Cool Cuts 4 Kids ( in Little Bridge St. Ballarat) a few times and finally one day I decided to give them a go.

When we arrived, Ronan ran straight in eagerly looking at all the toys and books in the kid-friendly waiting room. Ronan had a blast. He sat there happily watching a DVD and didn't seem to mind the scissors at all...too easy.

When asked what DVD Ronan wanted to watch I said "anything with cars in it". Ronans' eyes stayed glued to the TV the whole time.

My Little man :)

Moving Day.....at last!

What a week it has been!
We finally moved into our house.
Of course, we picked one of the coldest days of the year....and wettest.
Not alot of time for blogging, but boy, have we been busy.
I'm way too tired to go into detail....it's been crazy.
Our new house is currently an ugly duckling on the outside, but oozes character. I've taken a few photos of the inside. Not many, as the place is an absolute mess. I promise to take some pics after I get more organized.
Ronan has been having a great time running up and down the hall, getting into things he shouldn't (sigh).

Fancy mantel in dining room.
Pretty ceiling roses and bay window in main bedroom.

Ronan quickly became restless being inside all day, so I decided to take a stroll around the new neighbourhood with him...and took some pics on the way. There are some lovely homes and churches in our street. I really love winter. How pretty are those trees?

Brrrrr.......it's cold

That did the trick. Peace and quiet at last.

Back home for a hot chocolate.....yum.

Stay warm this winter everyone! Bye
