Christmas round up.......

Gee I love Christmas......always have; but especially being a Mum of two little angels makes it even more special!

This year was Lila's first Christmas and must admit I didn't go all out like I did with Noah's first - but it was just as special in my heart.

This year we tried a handmade Christmas, right down to the gorgeous Gingerbread Train Noah made and decorated, Brown paper packages tied up with string and a real tree!.  Here is our Christmas in pictures:

Here's hoping this is our last Christmas in our tiny tiny rental, and we get to celebrate the next one in our beautiful new home! I hope yours was as wonderful as mine!  xx

 

The Princess and the Pirate!

My gorgeous daughter will be turning 1 on Australia Day. I can't believe how quick this year has gone.  The day we found out we were pregnant - is the day we bought our block of land.  And now we are just about to start building.  It feels like a lifetime has passed in between.

I am looking forward to throwing her and my son a joint 1st and 4th birthday party.  I have decided on a Princess and Pirate theme  But anyone who has children born just after Christmas knows you have to plan their birthday parties early to make sure you're organised.  After Christmas it is hard to source just about everything.

I have decided to try my hand at making all the decorations, and today I practiced my first tissue paper pom pom.  Ohhhh they look fab! 

I can just imagine them all in pinks, white, red and black all dangling from the ceiling and above the gorgeous Lolly Buffet I have planned.

I am hoping it will all come together a little like this:

Keep you posted!
