July already

Where has the year gone? Zooming though way too quickly I think... and I couldnt even tell you where June went..

I cant even remember if I scrapped anything. it just seems a total blur.

July hasnt been much better.... I am the proud owner of this baby

turning a year older has some advantages ;)

I have now decided I NEED a Donna Hay cookbook- one with yummy deserts to make.

We are in our second week of school holdiays here too - we've had a blast and kept busy for the entire time.
{I think I need a break when they go back to school LOL}

I have some other news, too but thats a separate post ;)

Much Yumminess.....

Whats in the Box

imagine my excitement when this box was sitting on my front doorstep when I got home last week...
It was the Feb Goodies Box from Coles they send one every quarter to the panelists

Its always so exciting to see whats in the box {as you can see from my little "helpers"}
and ta da!


This months contents did not disappoint.....delicious yummy scrummy goodies that the family enjoyed...

pretty sweet hey?

Firsts

thats what this week is full of in my house. Emily and Alyssa started back at school.

Holly started Prep



and got straight into writing her alphabet



and Tegan started swimming lessons.



She was so excited...I could barely get her to look at me :D



Holly has Wednesdays of school for the first few weeks...and I want to take advantage of that to do things with just us {well Tegan and tayla will be there too} They're going to be "holly days" lol.....this week was the Princess and the Frog movie....next week - perhaps the pools?

Scrappy Goodness

I've got a few LO's to share this time..........it seems the mojo fairy came my way

The first is a LO I did last year - but I really love it. It was for a challenge at Bons scraps. Bons monthly CC is on now pop in and check out the challenges
...just follow the link in my side bar


This one is for a challenge over at Mystical. I had to use song words in my title. The ultrasound is from pregnancy number 2, back in 2002 I really wanted to do something different scrappy wise - quite happy with how it turned out :D



I cant believe my baby girl is 9...where does it go?




And lastly, a tribute to PA....I had to scrap this photo - I find it really poignant...

Big News!

well I'm {kind of} excited about this...



I also feel quite sad at the same time. my baby girl has started walking. She took her first steps December 29th....and I've just uploaded the pics......

not the best - but I captured the moment at least ...

And a HUGE THANKS to everyone who visited me after my last update and left me some love......

A new year

started a little while ago {well 10 days ago to be exact}....and one of my goals was to not neglect my blog. I hope to aim for at least a monthly post. But we'll see how we go.

So far this month we've been to Mornington beach for a swim, and Tooradin foreshore for a picnic lunch. Along with lot of "little' trips to the park. The kids have been having a blast....


And I've remembered to take my camera :D







The pics arent great - but I'm getting there - practice makes perfect so they say
