Guinea pig week 1

Hi all,

So we have acquired two guinea pigs. Marley and Holly! (cute names) Good friends of ours have gone away and we're babysitting their guines pigs. To say Olivia enjoys having them here is a massive understatement.


This is Holly



Handmade 'guinea pig sling'..yep, so she can free up her hands and still be holding Marley!

Reading time for Marley



Oh, and we had playgroup at our place Monday and decided to try flour paints...cup of flour, water and food colouring!! Looks so pretty, kids loved it and easy to do!



Take care,
Liz

Green Thumbs Day!

Hi All,

Well the children and I embarked on an exciting venture this week. We created our first vegie garden! The kids loved it, and are looking forward to 'feeding' their plants everyday and watching them grow. Heres some photos from the big event...


Getting all geared up...

New watering can from Bunnings $6!

Secondhand wheelbarrow found at the dump shop.

In goes the potting mix..



 Watering time for Olivia..



 And watering time for Henry! (note to self, get 2 watering cans next time)



So we've got Strawberries, Baby Carrots and Parsley! :) Will update their progress.

Hope your having a beautiful weekend.

New Mirror

Hi all,

I'm very excited. Take a look at this...


Isn't it just divine! I'm in love with it, picked it up cheap at The Tender Centre on the weekend. Thinking it'll be the focal point above the lounge amongst my photo wall.

Hope your having a wonderful Monday!

Colourful and organised

Yesturday I took a quick trip to the cheap shop and came home with these gorgeous colourful baskets. I desperately wanted to tidy the kids 'cutlery' cupboard...so here are some before and after photos. Organising is such a good feeling!

Messy!!
 Tidy!!
 Useable!!



And thought i'd include a picture taken from our dining table. I just love looking out and seeing gorgeous trees. We've got a lovely piece of earth as our home.

Have a gorgeous day!
