37

Yesterday I celebrated 37 years....

Although I am feeling a little older (looking v. tired),  I did however feel like a little kid yesterday. I was woken to my beautiful family jumping on me in a sea of balloons they had covered me in. A beautiful house plant (I have been wanting more plants for our house when we move back in) and a classic looking push bike (I have not had a bike in 11 years).

So now it's time to keep up with the kids when they ride...I hope!

Look out MOA!

 

The bike is a Reid.

The plant is a Dracaena...Zanzibar gem.

 

a sunday birthday

(This little almost 3 year old has a love affair with playing with ropes....you should have seen his face light up when he found a dried long vine root. In the last year he has taught himself the skill of wrapping up a rope....perfectly!).

September is the month for many birthdays in our extended family!

We decided this year to make Hal and his twin brother a terrarium, found via here.  It was one of those projects I absolutley loved doing and found myself placing each rock through the small hole with a pair of chopsticks (Mr Miyagi style)....that lasted a few minutes then I sort of threw them in!

Yesterday  we headed to the beach for a birthday picnic.

We played ball, we swam, there were tears when sand got in eyes, and there was lots of laughter and sunkissed faces on our return home.

We all loved every minute and the kids commented on how clean the beach was after being in Bali !!!  It was our first swim in Australia in a year and it was crystal clear, cool and perfect!!

Happy Monday to you all, I hope you had a lovely relaxing weekend.

afternoons are a favourite

It's the afternoons that i am enjoying the most right now. The air turns crisp (we face south) and we rug up and walk down in the paddock, the kids climb the water tanks and we watch the wallabies feed on the grass. 

Its still cool enough for a scarf & our favourite from our new collection is the 'Star Scarf'....its been a popular one. Thank you.

Loving the new Papier Mache site and issue 4 is out now.....It could never dissapoint!

Yesterday was...

a day off school for them and one for us. A day out in Brisbane visiting the GOMA. Perfect for opening their eyes, perfect on a monday (no crowds) and just so nice to hang out as a family and wag school for the day ( I call it a 'love day', but that doesnt go down too well when i ring up school in the morning to say they won't be in)!

Please excuse so many photos...I couldn't  help myself!

 

Babiekins Magazine issue 10 is online now (we are very happy to be a part of this beautiful issue).

Happy Fathers Day

Happy Fathers day to all that celebrated it today.

We spent the day with friends who were out from Singapore and the afternoon at the beach where the football was kicked, kites were learnt to fly (and loved) and castles were built. So lovely it was....even if there was a mini melt down from Arti at the end!
