My Week in Pictures

It's been school holidays the last 2 weeks and I am pleased to say they are all back at school today!! Yay!!
It's hard to keep little people occupied but we managed to fit in a little fun when The Sexiest Man On The Planet took a couple of days off work and we went adventuring into Melbourne.

First, the Melbourne Zoo.


We saw a baby elephant! Awwwwwwww.


And I kissed a tiger.......almost.


The lions were doing what males do best. Wish I could do that in public sometimes.


Butterflies landed on our heads.

Then we headed off to The Royal Melbourne Show where Miss 3 met her idols:


Abby Cadabby (pictured) and Angelina Balerina. She was way too shy to look at them tho!


Saw some spectacular floral arrangements.


And petted some chickies.

Then I had a Mermaid party for Miss 3 and made my very first party cake! Don't laugh, I thought I was very clever!



Please notice I balanced out the copious amounts of fat, salt and sugar with a big plate of fruit!

Who has been doing what this last week??

  2. Oooh Kristy, you know what Oilily is!! Some people think I'm nuts paying what I do for that brand, but it's absolutely gorgeous. The coat has fit her for about 3 years now so it was a great investment. Thanks!

  3. Hehehe, I used to collect TONS of Oilily (buying & reselling on ebay) now that my little one is at kindy & soon to start school I only have a couple of pieces of Oilily & Jottum - I adore little boutique brands too like Eden's Bouquet & Loves Me Not
