Our beautiful big boy...

Mr Wilfred Montefiore

Our little boy, is growing quickly into a VERY big boy... we love his smiley face when he is happy!

A PRETTY BALLET BIRTHDAY...

The girls had a lovely day with their beautiful little friends... at a ballet party today!  It was such a pretty day at our favourite gardens, with pretty little friends... I couldn't resist taking way too many photos as I always do when my girls are all dressed up in their sweetness xx  I'm so in love with them, even when they do eat to much cake and act up a little.  :)

A day of firsts...

So, today we received our first precious egg from our chickens!!!  Such excitement!  We have painted a face on our beloved first egg, and it has pride of place in the kitchen on the ornament shelf.  There is some debate who is responsible for laying the golden egg... Layla seems to think that her Lucy is the chicken goddess, and Evie, is fairly certain it was her Wonder Chicken... Mark and I however, are a little concerned that it was the escapee chicken who has layed the egg, and therefore won't be laying anymore... (another story).

The girls and I have planted our heirloom vegetable and flower seeds that we ordered from eden seeds.  They are organic and we're super excited to see speckled pumpkins and multicoloured corn cobs in the next few months.  The weather is warming up, and we are certain to have a scorcher of a summer... bring it on!

We had a lovely adventure to the most beautiful plant nursery today... the girls and I enjoyed a cup of devonshire tea and scones, and then slowly meandered through the beautifully presented gardens and took our time to "smell the roses", and get lost in the African box mazes... so much fun!!!  We are looking forward to making our scarecrow... we have so much inspiration now!  I LOVE spring! xo

i wish i WONDER...

I found this photo when I was looking for some inspiration for my hair the other day... Repunzel?  Surely it's fake, but it made me wonder how much longer my hair will get before I have the courage to chop it.

A girl crush on... Sofia Loren x

I love Sofia Loren... she had the most enchanting face in her youth... Certainly an inspiration in her older years as well!

Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.

I just can't wait until "The sickness" as Layla calls it, pings off and leaves us alone!  It would be nice to have no runny noses, coughing, dihoreah or hand foot and mouth!  I'm starting to ponder the notion that it might be this house making us unwell!  Like a mould situation, although that's not a problem that we can see... there goes my head thinking much too much! It's probably more likely to be the combination of a new place and adjusting to the weather and the viruses that we havn't been exposed to yet.  Alas... a trip to a natropath is in order...  I shall start looking now, to be on top of this nonsense before I'm climbing the walls!

Eddie Vedder eat your heart out!!!

Some Favourites for the first month of spring I recently added  to my itunes library... which I fully intend to turn the volume up on whilst drinking shandy's on the patio in the sunshine next weekend.
